I was eight years old, when I first received my first autograph ever by Dave Winfield of the New York Yankees.
Collecting sports cards was one thing but to actually get them signed was another. I have always played sports my whole life and as a kid, I loved watching all kinds of sports: Red Sox, Mets, Yankees, Bruins, Rangers, and Celtics etc. But I would have to say; I enjoy the sport of Hockey the most from playing it and cheering on my favorite team the Hartford Whalers. My Autograph days officially started in Hartford, CT. I was a huge Whaler fan and would attend most home games and get autographs from the Whalers and the visiting teams.
I did this between the ages of 10 -17. In those seven years, I would feel a rush every time I got another autograph from a Hockey Superstar. My collection of hockey autographs consists of cards, photos, pucks, jerseys, sticks, and programs.
When the Hartford Whalers organization was moved to North Carolina, my love for autographs did not die. I started to collect music and celebrity autographs mainly in Hartford, and NYC. I have also traveled throughout the States and Canada meeting bands and Artists such as: Beatles Paul McCartney, Rolling Stones, Dave Matthews, U2 Bono, Pink Floyd Roger Waters, Doors, etc.
I have always enjoyed all music from: Rock in Roll, Pop, Blues, Jazz, Rap, Folk and Country and more. , So I had a great interest in trying to obtain from all genres of musicians to keep the memories alive.
Today, I would sell some of my autographs I have obtained for a supplemental income. Please check out my website for autographs for sale along with viewing authentic autograph exemplars at www.sharkstreasures.com.
Presently I reside in Los Angeles, CA and still continue to work with the best in the autograph industry as well as able to collect in all aspects. After many years of collecting and studying autographs I am able to determine if an autograph is genuine or fake. It's a shame of how may fake autographs are in the market, and it will continue to get worst, because some people are just greedy and have no respect for the industry.
Collecting autographs has always been one of my biggest hobbies. I recently decided to finish my college degree studying Geography and GIS at California State University, Northridge. Nobody knows what the future hold, but autographs will always be a part of my life and I want to continue to supply the market with authentic pieces and educate people with my knowledge to help make decisions for buying and collecting autographs. All the Best Mark Turgeon
