Mark Turgeon Autograph Biography
Dave Winfield of the New York Yankees was my first autograph. I was eight years old when I received his autograph, and after that day Dave was a hero to me.
Collecting sports cards was one thing but to actually get them signed was another. I have always played sports my whole life and as a kid, I loved watching all kinds of sports: Red Sox, Mets, Yankees, Bruins, Rangers, and Celtics etc. But I would have to say; I enjoy the sport of Hockey the most from playing it and cheering on my favorite team the Hartford Whalers. My Autograph days officially started in Hartford, CT. I was a huge Whaler fan and would attend most home games and get autographs from the Whalers and the visiting teams.
I did this between the ages of 10 -17. In those seven years, I would feel a rush every time I got another autograph from a Hockey Superstar. My collection of hockey autographs consists of cards, photos, pucks, jerseys, sticks, and programs.
When the Hartford Whalers organization was moved to North Carolina, my love for autographs did not die. I started to collect music and celebrity autographs mainly in Hartford, and NYC. I have also traveled throughout the States and Canada meeting bands and Artists such as: Beatles Paul McCartney, Rolling Stones, Dave Matthews, U2 Bono, Pink Floyd Roger Waters, Doors, etc.
I have always enjoyed all music from: Rock in Roll, Pop, Blues, Jazz, Rap, Folk and Country and more. , So I had a great interest in trying to obtain from all genres of musicians to keep the memories alive.
Even Today, I still get a rush like I would get as a kid when meeting various music artists. I sell some of my items that I've obtained from various music artists as a supplemental income. To check out some of my items for sale along with viewing authentic autograph exemplars please visit my website at 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.
I recently went back to school and finished my degree in Geography as well as GIS at Cal State University, Northridge. Nobody really knows what to expect in the future, but I can say autographs will always be a part of my life. My goals are to keep the autograph industry pure, by offering authentic pieces to the market and guide people of my knowledge from collecting as well as buying signed items. All the Best Mark Turgeon
