ARNOLD SCHWARZENNEGER IN PERSON SUCCESS!!!

HUGGEEEE SUCCESSS TO REPORT from NYC!! I got a tip that the Governator was eating a popular NYC restaurant a few blocks of way from work. I was actually thinking about Arnold earlier in the day if he'd come in to promote the Expendables 2 or not. Sure enough... I call a buddy who had access to some photos and we both ran over. When we arrived, Arnold was sitting at a table close to the street and was visible by all bystanders. About 20 minutes, later he comes out of the restaurant and walks right over to my friend and I and signs! He was willing to do more but we ran out of photos! Huge success and Arnolds says "I'll be back to RACK"!!

I'm going to try to post on here more often about my in person successes so STAY TUNED!

I like your story but something seemed odd to me about it. So I asked around and NOBODY in NYC can confirm that Arnold was in town recently. Not even the paps.

What was the date and restaurant where you saw him? Did you take photos while he was signing?

Anytime he comes around everybody finds out and the press goes crazy. There should be shots from the trip all over the web right now.

I am curious.

Hi Michael,

I completely understand that it sounds strange that Arnold racked. I'm still shocked and dumbfounded myself. It was a fluke! Yes, Arnold was in NYC this past Monday August 6th eating at Nello restaurant at 5pm. I believe he grabbed a bite before he jetted off to Austria. During his signing, I was unable to take photos due to me concentrating on the autograph. Also, please note that there the autographs were obtained by more than 1 person which accounts for multiple autographs. I was able to double up though as there were bystanders, gawkers, etc. To this day, I have no idea what he was doing in NYC. He did NOT do any appearances/talk shows related to Expendables 2. To corroborate the sheer fact that he was in NY, do a simple twitter search for "arnold schwarzenneger nello" and you will see a random person (twitter name: OfficialHank) checked in on Foursquare with Arnold eating at the same restaurant.

You would think that everyone knows everything in the city... but thats really not the case in NYC. Over the past few months, I've gotten Sean Connery (See attachment which shows us get Sean Connery EXCLUSIVE in NYC without the hoards of people around him as you would expect), Harrison Ford, and now Arnold Schwarzenneger without ANYONE knowing they were in town. Again, I know it sounds crazy but thats just what it was! It's what I like to call..... A SNEAK!

Hey Eric, one of my sources in NYC talked to the owner of Nello  a couple of days ago (they know him personally) where you supposedly found Arnold and he said there was nobody there when Arnold came out of the restaurant. He confirmed that not one person got an autograph from Arnold before he left.

So how is it possible that you got Arnold to sign when in fact he did not sign as nobody was there to ask him?

I'm sorry but your account is inaccurate. There was a couple people and bystanders outside when he exited. He took a couple photo withs random people and then signed. Please understand that I'm in NYC and I'm giving the hard facts. I don't know who your sources are but they werent there and this is just a game of telephone. You've just went from your previous post proclaiming your SOURCES swore Arnold wasn't even in NYC! I think its time to give me credit for this amazing sneak and call it a day. There is no motive for me to lie and say that I got Arnold let alone post the autographs that I've got. I'm looking forward to sharing more in person success stories with everyone!

Your story is good but the word on the street in NYC refutes your story.

Actually my guys are in NYC.

When you ask the owner of the restaurant and he has no vested interest in this why would he lie?

I don't personally know you but as soon as you posted your original story the IP guys in NYC all started to call me and based on their input I decided to question your posting.

"There is no motive for me to lie and say that I got Arnold let alone post the autographs that I've got."

Of course you have a motive to lie. It sells your autographs.


I know I have been a bit tough on you and I know people get Arnold's autograph. (We got him at Comic-Con in July). It was the fact that your story was called into question by other collectors in NYC and now by the owner of the restaurant that concerned me. IP guys have stories all the time. That is simply the nature of this business.

I agree to move on and let this thread die.

Who are your guys? You have yet to bare their name!!.... You've been referring them to guys and sources but you are 3,000 miles away from all of the action. I've dealt with many reputable people on this board and have proven authenticity and validity of my accounts with them. Thanks again for your comment.

I haven't heard anything negative about Skyline Signatures and I have been paying close attention.  I am sure that if anyone had any problems we would have heard by now.  As a collector I must tell you that I find it suspicious that other New York City dealers are refuting any stories told.  I'll continue to give Skyline Signatures the benefit of the doubt until I hear from collectors who have been burned.  That hasn't happened yet.

Thanks. No offense to Michael H but his story his just too inconsistent. He went from swearing that his sources swore Arnold wasn't in town! They are not credible and he hasn't yielded their identities. I got Arnold at that restaurant and no one will tell me otherwise!! Off to the airport for some flights tonight!

OK Airdocs...

You think the owner followed him out to the street? Owner may not even have been in the restaraunt.

A guy I work with claimed he saw him about 2 weeks ago in NYC. Dont remember the exact day. He isnt an autograph collector but knows I am. I thought he was just pulling my chain. I'll ask him tomorrow the date it was and where he saw him.

Hi guys I am half way through the Expendables chasing very tired as been putting 18 hr shifts
So not much sleep . Arnie has not changed he is exactly how I know him to be I met him over
7 times in 2 days and some of those times just 3 chasers there
Not only he did not sign but he fully ignored the way I know him too.
Did I get him ? Yes me and many others did but Arnie is the same person he has not
Changed you can only get multiples when he is not aware like at a premiere .
I have times and dates for 3 restaurants in Paris lunch and dinner he did not sign
One I took photos and small video to document it cause we all know this days just saying is
Not enough we have too much to deal with in this industry.
Arnie is here in London and has been for almost 40 hrs till he departs for New York on the 14th
So far I have been getting either 1 or 2 in 24 hrs a day at more than 6 hits a day.
Won't say when and how but if a moderator wants a full diary hour to hour I can provide it but only
If needed to use . Also Arnie has done a few odd graffs not all are the same since all conditions are
Different obviously . I have only got him once in 5 days on a 4 to one were he signed a descent graff.
