Please show me your favorite autograph!! :-)

Hello everybody!!

I absolutly love when members here at AML post examples of beautiful autographs that they have in their collection. So I thought I should start a thread where everyone who wants, can post a photo of their favorite autograph and maybe write some info about why you especially like this one!

Hopefully some members will chip in!! :-)

Ok, I´ll start:

My favorite autograph is a 10x8 photo signed by Bruce Springsteen and Little Steven, Max Weinberg, Roy Bittan, Clarence Clemons & Gary Tallent from The E Street Band:

I wanted this so bad when I first saw it, because I´m a huge fan of Springsteen. But unfortunally me economy usually sucks, so it took me a long time to save up enough money to buy it. And every day that went by, I were worried that someone else would buy it before me. So when I finally bought it, I were extremely happy!!! :-)

Someone else??

PS. Sorry if this has been done recently, but I can´t remember seeing a simular thread. I know that there is a thread about the rarest autograph, but that´s not the same thing... :-)

Well, I've told this story a few times elsewhere, but it apparently needs repeating, so here goes... :)

Around 2007 or so, I was blessed enough to meet John Wesley Shipp at his first Dallas-area convention. I'd been a fan of the original "Flash" TV series as a kid, so he was one of my earliest heroes. I waited patiently in line, as he spent a generous amount of time with every fan who came to him. It was a little long, but on the whole, I despise "cattle call" attitudes even more. When my turn arrived, I told him how I'd liked him as the Flash, and also on "Dawson's Creek" and the second "Never-Ending Story" movie. We chatted for a couple of minutes, and he signed the 8x10 below for me. We posed together for a photo, after which I thanked him and prepared to leave the autograph room.

However, I'd walked about halfway to the door when the realization suddenly hit me: I'd forgotten to pay for his autograph. I'm honestly not big on celebs charging at all, but I started to think of how I hate people ripping me off. So, I turned around, got back in the line, and waited again. Seeing me for the second time, he appeared surprised at first. I pulled the money from my pocket, handed it to him, and quietly said, "I think we forgot this part". He asked more than once if I was sure, and I said "yes". He then said to me something I will probably never forget: "You know, most people probably would've walked out that door, but you came back. Thank you; I respect you for that." I remember blushing, thanked him again for his time, and left. To this day, I consider him one of the most kind-hearted celebs I've ever met, and I'd love to see him at another show someday.

Maybe some of you newer members have a special autograph (one that you like more than all the rest in your collection) that you would like to show! If so, please upload a pic in this thread! Older members are of course welcome to post a pic too... :-)

If you browse thru this thread you will see that the members of AML have some truly fantastic autographs so please take your time and have a look!

I personally have a new favorite since I started this thread, So I thought I would show you that one. It´s a 1974 set of Queen autographs with a big and fantastic Freddie Mercury signature that I just love:

But it´s difficult to pick just one, it´s (almost...) like having to choose which one of your children you love the most. So I think I´ll just cheat and post a link to all my favorites if anyone is interested... ;-)

So please let me see your personal favorites! It can be a freebie you got TTM or something you have gotten yourself or something so expensive that you had to eat noodles for a month after you bought it!

And yes, you´re allowed to cheat too and show more than one favorite... ;-)

Thanks for playing!

I think I must cheat and show my current favoriteS. My love for Blues/Rock and being a Brit means these 2 are favorites of mine:

Firstly my favorite artist of all time Eric Clapton. A rare mid/late 60s signature on a seminal Blues/Rock album, there aren't many of these around with contemporary signatures on:

Next the Rock Gods that are Led Zeppelin. A very late 60s/very early 70s set of signatures on one of their best albums (especially for a Blues/Rocker):

My Love of Clapton and Blues/Rock sent me down a path of going back to the original Blues artists. There are many favorites in my Blues collection, but I'll put these as my top 3 (in no particular order):

Firstly Billie Holiday. From the research done, by myself and others, this is almost certainly the last autograph she ever gave:

Next is Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter, a pioneer and influence on so many musicians (Dylan, Nirvana to name 2):

Finally is the legendary Son House. Great to have his signature on this his greatest album:

However I must confess that my favorite autograph in my whole collection is from the wild hellraiser Richard Harris. It's my favorite as it holds great memories, specifically of many a night drinking in the Coal Hole pub. In Harris's later life The Coal Hole was his watering hole (due to it's close proximity to The Savoy where he had a room), and I saw him a few times in there. It's signed on the back of a Coal Hole till receipt which is sadly very faded so the print can only just be made out (it is a receipt for a drink (or two) that we (my future wife and I) purchased for Harris), one of my very few IP autographs:
