Star Wars Collectors Unite!

I have been collecting Star Wars autographs since 1998. Not all of my signatures are on Star Wars memorabilia. For example, when I met Warwick Davis at a comic convention in New York City, I had him sign a Willow photograph. I also have publicity photos of Sir Alec Guinness and Christopher Lee from the 1970s, and a Natalie Portman signed The Diary of Anne Frank theater poster from her performance on Broadway back in 1998. My current wish list includes Peter Cushing, Terence Stamp and John Williams. I am interested in knowing about the collections and wish lists of other members.

Pete you are a huge asset to this community. I have been following you on RebelScum for a while and have learned a lot about Star Wars and entertainment in general. Thank you!

Great stuff. Any Brando signed Godfather pics?

The only one I have ever seen that could possibly be real, remains on ebay now. I personally don't care for the signature and can't verify it myself. PSA seems to think it's the real deal tho.

I'm looking for a Brando cut signature or one on a STM pic if you are aware of any Brandos out there.

I love the Sean Connery and Al Pacino autographs. Did Al sign that particular one at a private signing? I own two from one of those signings.

That's what he used to sign like, and still does for people he knows, it's good to know people that know Al.

Free is far sweeter a price compared to what he gets at these signings

Show off. Awesome collection Pete. Is that Johnny Depp's autograph that I see on the bottom piece? Must be a Donnie Brasco photo. Can you post the entire image when you get a chance? I would love to see it.

Yeah that's a Donnie Brasco poster, I don't have a great shot of it, but I hope this works.

It works fine. I had a feeling it was a poster. I was just wondering. Very cool.

Nice stuff. You Sin City poster is very nice.

How long ago did you get your Johansson sig? Looks super clean. I never got that lucky with her.

That was her first night on Broadway early 2010 maybe January? By the end of March it was very different.

It kills me that she walked right past me in 1999 and 2000 at multiple NYC film premieres and I just never got her.

early 2010

Then by March 2010 it turned into this,,,,,

Then by December 2011

Now she comes into NY and won't touch a pen. She signed a bit in LA and a bit in London for the Avengers premieres, but she has become one of the toughest autograph signers out there.

Thanks for taking time to show me these. Been trying to figure a time table on her sig changes. This helps me a lot. Appreciate it. I got her 3 times while in NY. Once on Broadway in 2010 and twice in early 2013 also Broadway. She was very tough. Tried probably 20 times and feel lucky to have got her three times. Never did get her on an Avenger photo. That was next but struck out last 5 times I went out.
