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.

Happy to help, I own about 40 pieces and sold just over 30 more. If you need anymore help putting together a time frame just let me know. Her signature hasn't changed since 2011, in fact these few are from London this past March.

It looks like all the rest of the wasted signatures Celebrity Authentics got and charge way too much for. If you want a Fedora signed by Ford ....please tell me why in the world you would have him sign inside the headband?

Yeah, I know felt is tough to sign, but how exactly do you display that?

They want over $2k for those and you get to spend another $2k on a display case with a series of mirrors, pulleys and levers ....so that you can show off the signature.

Yes it's real.....but don't waste your money.

Bradford, let's use the signature on what appears to be an official document as an exemplar. The "r" in "Jeffrey" is different, the "H" is different, the "n" is different and the "r" in "Hunter" is different. The "J" does not connect to the "e". The two letters connect in the exemplar. The "J" connects to the "r" in "Jr." in the exemplar as well. I am also concerned about the way that the "rey" slopes on the index card. The three letters do not slope in the exemplar.

Also consider that Jeffrey Hunter died relatively young. He was 42 years old. He was not retired, but active in his career. I just do not see him sitting around the house and answering fan mail. That is why I believe that a lot of what is out there may be secretarial signatures.

You are correct Mike. That's why when I was shopping mine, I really didn't want to buy one that wasn't PSA authenticated. The one above,of course, failed a PSA quick opinion. The one on the contract speaks for itself, as it's on an official 20th century fox document. The one I ended up purchasing for my custom framed collage came with a PSA LOA. Also interestingly enough, Hunter always signed with a slant unless is was on an underlined document. ALWAYS.

Can you rotate the image? I have not been able to get a very good look at that one.

Thanks Bradford. At first glance, this autograph compares better with the exemplar than the autograph on the index card does.

I am kind of shocked that there was no Ep7 panel or signing at SDCC. Star Wars has a history there dating back to it's conception and so does JJ. He always seemed to launch his newest projects at fanboy Mecca.

No DC Comics cinematic presence either. Marvel dominated as usual.

DC was there, they just got trounced.

They did a trailer presentation for Superman Vs Batman, released an image of WonderWoman, had panels and signings for Arrow, Constantine and Gotham....and the best news of all in my opinion, they found Harlan Ellison's lost script for a Batman TV episode featuring Two Face, which they plan on releasing as a comic later this year. 48 years sitting in a drawer, and written by the top living author in the field.
