Dean Konop replied to Jim Hier's discussion 'Collecting Signed Presidential Books' in the group U.S. Presidential Autographs
I know of a signed autobiography of Theodore Roosevelt. It was donated to the local Historical Society of Two Rivers and this is the first time I actually saw it. The Society wants to sell it and there was an offer of 5 grand for it. So I have two…

The President visited the city next to where I live this week. Made a few stops but apparently a "no-signing" policy was enacted. Darn.

Sorry for the misspelling on the last entry. Just noticed the James Dean photo. WOW! Those are pretty cool!

I just got Zachary Levi from Chuck. He signed a caricature I di and it took close to over a year to get.

I am guessing this is a very bad company to deal with.

Notice how they advertise the fact that Marilyn looks sexy in a one piece suit before the actual mention of her signature? FAKE!

Nice magic marker Pie. FAKE!

I am gussing it was signed after he passed away so that would make it FAKE!

Profile Information
- What kind of member are you? Industry professionals must use their real names and identify themselves as such. (You don't have to pick just one!)
- Collector
- What do you collect, or want to start collecting?
- Sports, History/Politics, Books/Literature, Modern Hollywood and Stage, Classic Hollywood and Stage, Music, SciFi, Space/Aviation/Military
- Tell us more about your collection, specific areas of interest, etc.:
- Most of my collection I produce myself. I draw, paint, design a caricature of a particular celebrity and send that caricature to him or her hoping to get a signature on that caricature. If they add comments, that is a plus!
- What is your level of expertise?
- Long Time Lover
- What is your favorite autograph in your collection?
- My Tony Shalhoub (MONK) caricature that he had signed. Kind of hard to just pick one and that one is right over the computer as I type.
- Why do you collect?
- I love the connection and the feeling I get by showing my work to the famous. I am not saying I want to be famous, but in a way by doing something unique and original, it does make me stand out. I guess I like the challenge and the reward of getting something I thought of and made signed by the celebrity. I guess it validates my work.
- You can ask anyone living or dead for their autograph. Who would it be?
- Too many to narrow down...plus too many good caricatures to pass up.

Eric Fields said… - I thought that was you...You're the teacher right? I have seen many of the items you've gotten signed. You have some real talent! I'm Pristinecollector on the site. I was a member long ago when it was StarArchive and the site was free. Lost interest in the hobby for awhile and then got back into it and signed up again when it was StarTiger.
Have a good one.

- Yeah, she seems to have a little better luck then I do. Plus she has the chick thing going for her as celebrities tend to sign for chicks instead of middle aged men who draw caricatures....Don't get me wrong, I am working on my hot chick vibe. lol
