Customer Testimonials

Thank you so much for my recent autographed photo of English actor Hugh Bonneville as Mr. Brown in one of the two Paddington Bear films. I confess that I was interested in the photo because Paddington Bear is also in the photo. He was my childhood favorite storybook character. In the photo you can see Paddington's paw print on Bonneville's shoulder, no doubt from the marmalade sandwich he's eating. So I got two autographs! I still have a stuffed Paddington Bear, and I will enjoy seeing this displayed alongside it atop one of my bookcases. Interestingly, Hugh Bonneville was born in Paddington, London, UK. Paddington Bear was named after the Paddington train station in London where he was found. Customer service, packaging, and shipping were superior as always from you and your team. Sincerely, Cheryl Gilbert

This is my most recent autograph and photo of English singer Cliff Richard. He's long been one of my favorites, and this is the oldest photo I now have of Richard. I'd estimate that the photo is from just prior to or around 1960. His first big hit song was "Move It," and it was released in 1958, so it may be from that far back. The photo and autograph are in excellent condition, very nicely mounted and ready to frame. A second photo of Richard was included with my order, which was such a wonderful surprise. It is an excellent photo, too. I appreciated that so much and when I wrote to Markus about it, he said that often a second photo is included with an order as an alternative and can be placed in the mounting instead. In my case, I plan to frame it separately and frame the one that is already mounted just as it is. The gesture is very generous and thoughtful and a great practice by Markus and his team. As always, customer service, packaging, and shipping were exceptional, and Markus and his team continue to deliver so many fine autographs, and for me they are very reasonably priced. Sincerely, Cheryl Gilbert

Hello,I am an autograph collector. I love to buy or exchange any nice signed photo of the history and politics. I almost collected in every single field.

Sehr geehrter Herr Brandes, vielen Dank für die enorm schnelle Lieferung! Ich hätte nicht erwartet, dass das Päckchen so schnell bei mir ist. Auch die Autogramme sehen super aus. Alles in allem: top! Jederzeit wieder!

Sehr geehrter Herr Brandes, …. E lucevan le stelle…nicht nur die Sterne blitzten, sondern auch meine Augen, als ich den schönen Puccini-Brief gestern auspackte. In typischer Brandes-Qualität und auch sehr schnell konnte ich nun wieder ein schönes Stück meiner Sammlung hinzufügen und bin sicher, dass Sie noch einige schöne Stücke anbieten werden. Gerne können Sie meine Worte verwenden, vergessen Sie aber nicht, dass sie an Sie gerichtet waren….sie gehören also Ihnen. Es ist wirklich ein schönes Gefühl etwas von einer Person in Händen zu halten deren Werk man schon lange bewundert, aus deren Kopf, Seele und Feder Klänge oder Worte geflossen sind die einen das halbe Leben begleitet und beglückt haben. Für mich ist das Sammeln dieser Stücke vor allem das Verbundensein mit diesen Menschen und erst in zweiter Linie tritt der Aspekt der Wertanlage zutage.
