Posted By: <b>Bill Panagopulos</b><p>Further my posts above, here are a few dealers and galleries that use or have used Mr. Christopher Morales' services as an authenticator for the material they sell (I couldn't find a single site advertising their use of STAT as authenticators):<br /><br />Coach's Corner Auctions, Souderville, Pa.<br /><br />Rock Star Gallery, Scottsdale, Az., ELEVEN signed Beatles albums, one AC/DC with Bon Scott, and Jimi Hendrix. In their description of one of the Hendrix signed albums, they note: "There were only six Hendrix albums that were autographed". Rock Star Gallery offers four of them! Many other signed albums, photos, etc. and memorabilia.<br /><br />American Royal Arts - Southern Florida - five walk-in galleries, said to be expanding. Believed to be in litigation with Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo over Caiazzo's condemnation of a Morales-approved Beatles-signed album. Offer multiple Beatles signed albums, Presley, Marley, etc. <br /><br />Signature Dreams.com , Dallastown, Pa. - (Michael Leppo) Sports autographs<br /><br />Starmarks.net, Naples, Fl. - Rock autographs including a Beatles signed guitar $99,900 and signed "Help!" album $19,900, among others.<br /><br />Touched by the Stars - Five galleries in Florida (but no contact information available on their website). They use STAT and Morales, also Spence and PSA, all apparently for a small amount of lower-end material. Picked out two presidential autopens or printed sigs. (STAT-authenticated), but nothing awful here.<br /><br />Can anyone add names to the list? I'd like to assemble an exhaustive list.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
