   There were some checks there and a couple contracts.  However, the Led   
   Zeppelin was from an early photo (yes, appeared to be many moons ago   
   as you said; I believe from thd 70's).  In order for me to do these,   
   it took a long time. I did contemplate putting (signed check/document   
   etc).  I'll do that later on (it's a good idea). The date listed is   
   when I added it but all the sigs aren't always known when they were   
   done so I could start annotating that too).  Now that I got it   
   started, it should be a little easier to do more so I can probably add   
   more. I got a crap load to do still.  I hope someone benefits from it.   
      
   If you ever see something way wrong, yes, I'd love to know (that's why   
   the disclaimer).  Most of the stuff looks good though.  Only a handful   
   seem to be modern sigs (all ths Star Wars sigs were modern day - 90's   
   and 200's in my opinion as well as some of the film poster signings).   
   But most are very vintage.  How they acquire this stuff one only   
   knows.  Many seem to be celebrities own collections (several film   
   crew/actors etc giving their stuff to sell or a lot of them are from   
   collections from estate, like William Plunkett who had numerous   
   paintings of his own as well as other artists and some celebrity   
   letters and such..
