Customer Testimonials

I am extremely pleased with my purchase. Arrived beautifully packed in excellent condition. Many thanks for perfect service, I would highly recommend this seller.

From start to finish, my recent shopping experience with Markus of Brandes Autographs was exemplary: A unique item (Chef’s hat signed by former Beatle George Harrison and musician pal Gary Wright in 1976 at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm, Sweden, with notarized letter of provenance from the Chef/Recipient), at a very reasonable price, packed and shipped with the utmost care, arriving swiftly and safely, from his hands, to my doorstep... Don’t hesitate to shop and buy from Markus Brandes Autographs, one of the autograph industry’s best!!

Sehr geehrter Herr Brandes, beide Autogramme (Jochen Rindt, Karol Wojtyla) sind gut angekommen. Als ich Jochen Rindt sah, kam mir sofort der 5. September 1970 in den Sinn. Ich war noch ein Kind, die Familie kam von einem kleinen Ausflug zurück ,man schaltete das Radio ein und dann kam sie, die Meldung vom tödlichen Trainingsunfall Jochen Rindts. Wir waren alle keine ausgesprochenen Motorsportfans, aber Rindt hatte eine Ausstrahlung, die ganz Österreich hinter ihm versammelte und ihm die Daumen drücken ließ. Und so senkte sich eine sehr gedämpfte Stimmung über das Wochenende, obwohl dieser Mensch für uns ja doch ein Fremder war – die wunderbare Seite des Autographen Sammelns. Bei Karol Wojtyla wäre anzumerken, wie zutreffend Ihr Motto „You can´t change history, but you can own it” ist. Man hält ein Schriftstück eines Mannes in Händen, der tatsächlich die Welt verändert hat, das erzeugt dann doch Gänsehaut. Wie auch immer, vielen Dank für den gewohnt reibungslosen Ablauf. Liebe Grüße, bis zum nächsten Mal Herbert Purth

Hi Mr. Brandes. You have made me tremendously happy again with my new order. OUTSTANDING SIGNED PHOTO of JOAN CRAWFORD in the most glamorous role of her career as the bitch goddess Eva Phillips in the 1955 film QUEEN BEE. Having this RARE signed photo framed ASAP !! Thanks again, Mr. Brandes. You are more than welcome to use my positive testimonial for your business. Best regards,

For a newcomer like me, interested in the Ayrton Senna era of Formula One, the world of autographed items is at the same time a treasure trove and a place full of perils. It's difficult to quantify how valuable it is to have a guide like Markus Brandes by your side in your quest through that world. Today my first purchase from his store arrived, packaged with the utmost care and attention. The photo inside, signed by 1992 world champion Nigel Mansel and showing him finishing second to Ayrton at the 1986 Spanish Grand Prix, will inspire me (and will of course also make me nostalgic) for years to come. Markus Brandes Autographs, to me, is synonomous with expertise, professionalism, trustworthiness, and of course an incomparable passion for the trade. The care dedicated to my order, from a to z, is enough to make me want to purchase my next autographed photo at this shop very soon. Thank you so much!
