eBay has had a Z poster with YY's autograph up for $50 for months. Don't know if it ever sold. He also signed a ton of guitars, which I think is a bit sleazy, that go for $150-$400 on eBay.

Sweet! Nice work, AE. Is he "no longer with us"? Here on the forum, I mean.

mahg33ta · Oct 09, 2010, 04:59 PM

I have not seen him here for some time.

I saw that he signed the guitars and posters/lp's on ebay, but have there been his signature with the Y's rather than J's of his name?

I've only seen this on his website, never on any posters, whatnot:

even Yim's mugshot is hot.

Charged with the crime of breaking Penny's heart.

Not to beat a dead horse, but this recent eBay posting of a JJ autograph is a 34. Most have said he signs 37 and that some of the 7s look like 4s, but this is clear.

Forgery. ;)

e_wind · Jul 22, 2011, 12:45 PM

that just doesnt even look real

e_wind · Jul 22, 2011, 12:55 PM

the description of it on eBay says its signed by "Jimmy James"

Quotewhere did you folks get the autographs at?

When they aren't on tour Jim does autograph sessions at Ramada Inn's around the country. You have to wait in line for like an hour and he won't personalize anything but it's still worth it.

Ok, I'll bite. Seriously?

e_wind · Jul 22, 2011, 01:54 PM

The Ramada in Paducah '07 was awesome. It was pretty close to Louisville and TN, so carl was also there. There were hardly any people there, and they played an impromptu accoustic version of What A Wonderful Man... I'll try to find the video I have it on my external harddrive somewhere...

Yes, the dates should be announced on YimYames.com towards the end of the current tour.

johnnYYac · Jul 22, 2011, 02:18 PM

It does seem like Jim (and to a lesser degree, the rest of the band) have signed a lot of stuff (guitar pic guards, photos, CDs, etc.) that seem only designed to make someone else money. Likely, they're getting paid to do it, too. I suppose its a form of advertising and it promotes their own work, for the most part.

I would take some posts with a grain of salt here, however. ;)

And I will be quite excited if we ever see ANYTHING new on the yimyames.com site.

That's the only time i've seen it look that much like a 4, might be a fake. There's no doubt that in my roll call certificate and most Jim James' autographs that it is a 7. Sometimes he swoops the top line of the 7 with a curve and makes it kinda look like a 4. We need a handwriting expert here. ;)

vespachick · Jul 22, 2011, 03:17 PM

I'm no expert, but those are some saggy looking J's. They're usually much more rotund and perky.

Like so many other things. :embarassed:

johnnYYac · Jul 22, 2011, 03:55 PM

He signed my Omnichord in person while it rested upon my knee. Looks like a 34 here, too.

I wanna know how he got that first J under the strings! ;D

God damn, I love these guys. Real people through and through - they NEVER forget the fans. Would be awesome if you could find the video. Heading over to YimYames.com right now... :dankk2:
