Nelson Deedle is a recognized autograph expert who has published many articles on collecting and authenticated autographs and other memorabilia. Before founding an online autograph store, Nelson Deedle used his talents as an archivist for The Elliott Roosevelt Estate.
Elliott Roosevelt, who died in 1990, was the son of Franklin D. and Eleanor Roosevelt. Bearing the name of Eleanor's father, Elliott was viewed by many as Mrs. Roosevelt’s favorite child. She tried to support him in many ways, even writing the dedication for his controversial first book, “As He Saw It.” Critics gave poor reviews to the book, saying it did not accurately portray the role the Soviet Union played in the aftermath of World War II.
Despite backlash, Mrs. Roosevelt continued to defend the book and her son. She also collaborated with Elliott by writing the introductions for four volumes of President Roosevelt's letters that Elliott edited and published. However, his mother’s favoritism and Elliott’s continuous exploitation of the family name for his own gain led to an irreparable rift. Despite becoming alienated from his mother, Elliott later portrayed her as an amateur detective in a series of mystery novels he wrote.
