Not since he passed. The Potter graphers changed the whole way he approached signing. If you want uninscribed Rickmans from the post-Potter era, you will have to settle on playbills.

Interesting. Was he simply inscribing these before Potter as well? He's been in so many great roles, especially as Hans Gruber which was a dozen years or so before Potter. One would think some earlier examples could be found.

Appreciate your response, Pete. I assume if one was to come out it would carry a heavy price tag.

The fact that Alan inscribed everything by the time the first Potter film came out, anything uninscribed shot up in value. When index cards did pop up, they did get snapped up immediately. The death of Richard Harris just pushed the prices even higher, if you wanted to do a Potter cast piece, index cards were the way to accomplish that once Richard passed.

  Rickman was my answer for years when people asked who the best living actor on the planet was. I personally collect Die Hard, Potter, Galaxy Quest and Kevin Smith's Askewniverse films. (Rickman was in Dogma) so I am always looking for more.

Then there are the people who collect Love Actually, Hitchhikers, Robin Hood and Tim Burton films, so there is no lack of interested parties searching for Rickman's uninscribed cuts, cards and album pages. 

I think the last card I bought was before he was even known to be sick, and paid nearly $300 for it.

Thanks, Pete. I still believe I will keep this on my "want list". It may make a matted piece pricey but far less than a signed photo as Severus Snape. Appreciate the information.
