Best place to find signed memorabilia?

bchambers05

Hello, 

I'm looking for some signed memorabilia, especially guitars. I'd prefer to find one signed by the whole group but I'd also take just one signed by Eddie Vedder. 

I've been scouring eBay, pristine auction and Facebook marketplace. I've found a couple legit ones for like 6-15 thousand, but they're either not in my price range, they aren't the style or type I'm looking for, or they seem like they're not legitimate or authenticated. 

Any suggestions other than ebay and Facebook?

Unless you trust the source you're buying from, I honestly wouldn't bother. You'll only look at it and wonder what if it is fake. 

If you want to be sure, charity auctions are a great place to start, most get listed here: https://community.pearljam.com/categories/acts. You will pay more but it goes to a good cause and you get peace of mind.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll check out the charity auction page.

You can trust the official Pearl Jam charity auctions to have authentic items... but beware of other charity auctions.  They are notorious for auctioning fake items - most of the stuff gets donated by people looking for a tax deduction and they either have no clue or don't care it's fake.

Referring to the official pearl jam charity auctions, are you talking about the ones located under the vitology section of this forum? 

Thank you.

I would stick with Vitalogy auctions......sadly, other charity auction items may not be authentic.

Also, don't be fooled by sellers who offer certificates of authenticity.....anyone can print/sign one these days.
