Actors from Stargate are taking part in a new project with two aims: to benefit charities and to stop dealers from selling fake autographs to fans. In conjunction with Legends Memorabilia, a number of actors including Richard Dean Anderson, Michael Shanks, Amanda Tapping and Chris Judge are selling signed photographs and scripts at www.stargate-autographs.com Every item comes with a certificate of authenticity and is guaranteed genuine.
Recently, the actors were shocked when they were made aware how many fake autographs are being sold on auction sites and through dealers. Legends, who have run charity auctions for Stargate and Andromeda, offered to provide a free service to help stamp out forgeries and raise money for causes chosen by the Stargate actors. The only extra charge on the autographed items will be postage to wherever you live; 100% of the profits go to charity.
This is your chance to support some very good causes and to own something special; photos being sold include signed group shots of SG-1, and for longtime RDA fans, there are signed photos of MacGyver as well as Jack O’Neill.
You may have noticed that Solutions have had several announcements about Legends Memorabilia of late. Why? Because we want fans to be able to buy safely from people who care about giving them genuine autographs and quality products. We have seen autographs on eBay and at cons which we knew were fake; in some cases it didn’t even look like the actor’s writing! The best way to stop this happening is for fans to have somewhere safe to buy autographs if they want them.
Similarly, we’ve seen some very poor homemade merchandise being sold as if it were licensed by MGM. It can be very hard to know from a small description on an auction site whether an item is worth having. If you buy from Legends you will get what you pay for and it will be good quality. Legends have supported a number of charity auctions at cons, and respect fans rather than exploiting them. We wish there were people like them working in other sci-fi fandoms.
Solutions would like to congratulate everyone involved in this project; sci-fi fans have been ripped off long enough and it’s great to see Legends and the Stargate cast working to help fans and charities.
