    Anyone know where i can purchase an authentic signed autograph, and or know the price for one. Im looking for Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, maybe a rat pack signature. Im looking for something in that era, not sure where to look, it will not be online, i need to visit local in Toronto. Anyone have any leads to this ?

    I could see about getting an official Vasco autograph what price are you willing to pay? He is a local celebrity you know! LOL

    Hey Rick,

    There's a store called "Celebrities" which carries autographs of literally everything. There use to be one in Vaughan Mills but it closed down last year I believe, however I heard they just moved out of the mall but I'm not quite sure.

    That store looked a little unreal with the amount of autographs they had, but most carried certificate of authenticies as well. They could be in either Square One or Eaton Center now, though I'm not 100%.

    There's a store on yonge across from the rail a little bit south I believe on the west side of yonge in that building with the Taco Bell in it, sorry I can't remember the name but I do know they sell that kind of stuff.
    Also in the Eaton Centre they used to have one of those kiosks who sold all sorts of memorbilia.
    Cheers big ears!

    Local may be hard to find but here is a possible lead to a nice Rat Pack set :
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002LLFYG6

    I'll check with a friend of mine out in California who collects alot of the 60's & 70's autographed memorablia and see if he has any info...

    Just be careful there are so many forgeries out there floating w/ C.O.A's that look legit.

    Cheers, Nick

    A little humor for your Friday:

    Frank had one of the more memorable quotes...
    "If you want to be somebody you buy a Ferrari, if you are somebody you buy a Lamborghini" Frank Sinatra

    The only place I know of is the one on Cumberland that sells automobile memorabilia, like a blazer worn by Enzo Ferrari himself, etc.

    This guy I know has a kiosk in VM, he told me that the rent went up in all the stores after they first opened within a year and most places couldn't hold it, so they ended up leaving. Personally I think the opening of VM was WAY to over hyped and it turned out to be just any other mall. I remember going through the mall every so often and seeing new stores all the time.

    But back on topic here, I think this is the store's site http://www.celebritiestore.com/
    The head office is in Markham (on Woodbine), it doesn't say anything about retail locations, maybe if you contact them they can have more info...hope it helps!

    What's interesting is that your last 3 recent posts in the Canadian section sounds like you are taking shots at someone/something for whatever reason. Is there something wrong here that we're not getting? ;)

    BTW You still racing with/for Thompson?

    Hey Rick,

    A while back I attended the Blue Jays world series gala dinner and purchased a bunch of hockey memorabilia signed stuff at the silent auction. The guy that ran the silent auction part was the owner of Frozen Pond which pretty much deals mostly in hockey stuff. I just called him the place to see if they have what you are looking for. They don't but strongly recommend you send an email directly to the owner. He will probably be able to help you.

    Tel. 905-760-8404
    Owners email [email protected]

    Good luck

    Its been pointed out to me that I have a lot of time to surf the wiener-net at work.

    I spend considerable time in Canada. Won a regional rally in Quebec last month. Posted in Ontario thread the info for Rally of the Tall Pines coming up in November so was checking if any interest.

    Sir Peter Thomson (no 'P' I believe) has only been limited season this year. May have missed last event because team that maintains his car was racing themselves at Targa Newfoundland. He usually comes to Tall Pines though.

    Rick I have a Joe Pesci autograph if you're interested. It's signed on a charity golf ticket that he participated in and I have a nice 8x10 head shot to go with it. Give me a call.
