Your assurance of satisfaction
If you are not pleased with your order, for whatever reason, any or all of the items you have purchased can be returned to me within twenty-eight days of receipt in good condition for a no-questions-asked refund.
Items are sold as genuine hand-signed autographs of the person named. I only offer items for sale on this site that I am absolutely sure are authentic, but should you purchase an item from me that you subsequently have genuine reason to believe is not authentic, please return it to me and I will be happy to repay the money that you paid for it, irrespective of how long ago the purchase was made.
I enclose a letter with each order which includes my full postal address should you need to return any item.
Small print concerning condition, currency and dimensions
Unless otherwise mentioned, all items are in reasonable condition commensurate with their age: I will always mention any significant creases or tears to the item, and any faults and blemishes that affect the front of an image, plus any paper etc. adhering to the back.
Many of the items, particularly the older ones, have writing on the back, in pencil or in ink, such as notes as to their origin or auction numbers/prices etc., which are part of the item's history and which I will not mention unless I consider that they damage the item or reduce it's value significantly. If an item is a signed postcard I will mention if it has been postally-used.
All prices on this website are in Great British Pounds Sterling [£], and all measurements are approximate and include the white border of photographs.
Please note all measurements carefully because items are not shown to scale with each other.
If you have any enquiries about items I have for sale I am always happy to answer them - just e-mail me: william@williamrevels.com
About me
I began collecting autographs, especially those of opera singers, when I was a student in London in the early 1980s. Fifteen years later my collection was reaching worryingly large proportions, and I started selling at antiques and collectibles fairs, subsequently expanding my business buying items from autograph dealers, auctions and fairs.
In 2005 I set up the Song Stage and Screen Autographs website, and now, four years later, am selling autographed items to collectors and other autograph-dealers all over the world. I am a member of the Universal Autograph Collectors Club (UACC member William Revels 9513), and adhere strictly to the UACC Code of Ethics.
