Michael Kasmar started as a baseball card and autograph collector in the early 80s and used his natural entrepreneurial skills to form Autograph Pros in the 90s, a leading provider of celebrity autographs and music memorabilia. He was one of the first to introduce in-person autographs to the ebay market and shortly after used his technical skills to create an online presence at AutographPros.com . Having been a huge fan of rock and roll growing up, Michael opted to pursue music autographs rather than what all of his competitors decided to do which was chase sports figures. In the matter of only a few years Michael Kasmar and his now family run business had become one of the largest autographed guitar dealers in the world and featured an extensive online photo gallery of musicians and celebrities signing his items. His in-person scrap book features photos of him with Presidents and guitar legends, Hollywood A-Listers and all the “Who’s Who” in the celebrity world, his favorite being the photo of him with Keith Richards (guitarist for The Rolling Stones) where Keith has his arm around Michael with a huge grin which displays a touch of friendship towards this autograph dealer. Autograph Pros is the exclusive provider of music and celebrity autographs to cmarket.com as well as to the New York Times Store. What’s really exciting to see is their incredible 1 of a kind custom airbrushed guitars which are hand signed by Madonna, Eric Clapton, B.B. King, The Rolling Stones, just to name a few. “We’ve done both public and private signings with celebrities and musicians. Our items have been seen at just about every major auction house in the world and we provide more proof of authenticity than customers should ever ask for. I have a natural drive and passion for our new program called Charity Works. I’ve always been excited about Autograph Pros because we truly are a cut above the rest, but providing these incredible items to charity events and watching the excitement they drum up as well as the desperately needed funds during this troubled economy, it’s truly rewarding. With our expertise and input from several non-profits, we’ve created a COST FREE consignment program that not only works, but in almost every case, surpasses the charity’s expectations!”
