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.

I thought that you were referring to in-person autographs.

A good vintage Ford is in my opinion a work of art.....it's only the rushed in-person street graphs that start to look horrible. His modern sit down graphs for Official Pix are just shorter versions of his nice older signature.

wonderful signatures, pete!. i hope that you understand my point as to why that signature should hold more value than one of the "rushed in-person street graphs". you can't hold that signature to the same value as a rushed, stacked signature anymore than you can give more value to an artists sketch vs something he's spent more time and deliberation. one has more value. i'm reaching a little of course but you know what i mean. you have to judge the quality of some higher than the quality of others when it comes to value.

"Work of art"

Agreed. A sophisticated and refined autograph in its early form. Also, the earlier signature with its subtlety would be much more difficult to convincingly forge.

He is quite capable of still giving this autograph. The last signature was signed in the early 90's and he signed baseball bats for charity in '93 with a similar signature. He signed a desk on a Japanese talk show a couple of years ago the same way.

The TOD piece and the cut were both signed in the last 15 years.

The autographed baseball bat is awesome but I love that Temple of Doom shot.

Some of the stuff isn't the clearest photos but everything I can see looks fine.

What's shocking to me is that people are actually forging the autographs of some of the supporting characters... stuff I would have assumed were relatively low value autographs. Prior to my participation at RebelScum, I would have thought the risk was minimal.
