Mark Turgeon Autograph Biography
I was eight years old, when I first received my first autograph ever by Dave Winfield of the New York Yankees.
As a kid I collected sports cards from baseball, football, hockey and basketball, but to get them signed by the athlete was another thing. I always enjoyed all sports from playing them and watching them on TV. I enjoy the sport of hockey the most and on my favorite team the Hartford Whalers. My official autograph collecting days started in Hartford, CT. I was a hardcore Whaler fan and would attend most home games and obtain autographs from the Whalers and the visiting teams.
Between the ages of 10 and 17, I collected hockey autographs in Hartford. Every time I met a new hockey superstar, I would get a rush. I obtained a massive collection of hockey autographs that consisted of pucks, cards, photos, sticks, and programs.
After the Hartford Whalers moved to North Carolina to become the Carolina Hurricanes, I began to have a great interest in collecting music autographs. I met many bands such as U2, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, that have toured throughout Connecticut, New York, Boston, and even Canada.
All genres of music has always been a passion to me. I had a great interest in obtaining autographs from various artist and bands in all genres.
I still get that same rush I used to get as a kid, only now I sell some of the items I obtain as a supplemental income. To learn more about me and to view my authentic Rock n? Roll signature exemplars, please visit www.sharkstreasures.com.
As of today, I currently live in beautiful Southern California and still continue to work with the best collectors and professional photographers in the Entertainment business. Throughout the years I have obtained thousands of signatures in sports, music, celebrity and along with some political. I have built a database of authentic signature exemplars and able to determine if an autograph is authentic or fake, based on collecting experience and cross comparisons. The market is loaded with fake autographs and it is really disgusting, because some people just don’t care. An autograph to me is a true memory or an artifact that should be well preserved for the future generations.
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
