Are you sure that the Rick Riordan is real? I've met him in person and got a personalized autograph. In some ways they do look alike, and in some ways they don't. But if it is real super congrats to you!!!

I'm almost 100% positive it's real. I'm never 100% positive on ANY autograph unless I see the person sign it myself, so....but, I compared it to other examples and it measures up.

He doesn't usually make his R's that pointy but maybe your correct.

Not exactly from a thrift store (or charity shops as we call them in the UK) but these were two amazing finds:

Image

Ian Holm signed autobiography found in discount book store for £2

Image

Hockey legend Martin Brouder.This was an a amazing find! Bought this book on Abebooks (an online book store where people can sell their old books) for £5. I just wanted to read the book and that was the cheapest I could find it. There was no description that said it was signed so you can imagine my surprise when it came and I flicked through and saw that! I only wish my name was Wayne now.
