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.

Sorry to hear that about Christopher Lee. He will be missed.

There are still plenty of these C2 pieces floating around out there for bargain prices. Many of which were signed by cast members now long deceased. I mentioned it here before but will toss it out there once again for our newest members, C2 images were the only Official convention prints only sold signed by the guest (no blanks were made available to collectors) therefore no forgeries. That Celebration II stamp in the corner is better than a COA.

Pete, your tip about this was why I bought it. Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks Pete. I never knew that. I've been looking at one of these and think I'll pick it up. I'll definitely be on the lookout for that stamp.

Double edged sword here. Nothing that I'd want in my collection, but as a one off if he signed a single piece that way while I stood in front of him I'd accept and deal with it.

The Raiders whip is close but no cigar, the ESB gun to head is a piece that fits his known in-person scribbles. The ANH and KOTCS shots are just wrong.

Certainly nothing here that I would be confident about buying ....literal gun to my head I might see my way clear to dropping the gun to head shot for under $100.

This is what they should look like......

Nice Ford examples - along with Brandon, you must have quite a collection. I've only got one, but that's more than enough. Was annoyed the first time I got stung with a Ford (see previous pages) so wanted to opt for a genuine Ford and took the chance and went through OPX and paid premium price. The result was worth it.

The first, third and fourth Harrison Ford autographs posted have enough typical traits to make me feel comfortable about them. The second Harrison Ford autograph posted is atypical. I agree with Pete that it is probably a rushed in-person autograph, but I would not be interested in adding it to my collection. If the autographs are in fact forgeries they are very good ones.
