Career Experience
Owner and authenticator for the web site
www.signedsealeddel.com
One of the world's only autograph dealers that only deals exclusively in music industry autographs. Signed, Sealed & Delivered Autograph Memorabilia has been in business for more than 20 years. The company started out as a mail order business by printing and mailing a quarterly catalog. It has now matured to a 24/7 online store.
Owner and authenticator for REAL Roger Epperson Authentication Limited
REAL was started over five years ago to help individuals and businesses know that the autographs they own or are selling are in fact authentic. Once inspected, either a letter of autograph authenticity or a letter of rejection is issued. I also have a "quick opinion" service in order to help those who are buying autographs from an on line auction to confirm quickly if the autograph is likely authentic or not.
