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.

Tony, I absolutely love that image.....if you have any idea who made it, please let me know. I want to swipe it and use it along with the CHanUKhA emails I may send out, hahahahaha.

Got to give credit where it is due.

I will definitely be celebrating Chuka this holiday season. My collection would be very different without him this year, as he's responsible for bringing several great Scarletts a, a Natalie, and an Emilia Clarke "that should not be" into my life!

It was a pleasure to help, next time we will have to grab a coffee and do it in person, instead of through the mail. Only the USPS can take days to move something a couple of towns over.

Seeing these Star Wars Trader signature cards of Daniel Logan popping up for the last week or so. I figured it was just another insert card from Topps.

Nope, it's official, the world has lost it's mind.

These $15-$25 "signature cards" don't exist in the real world. They are digital downloads! So you too can drop hard earned cash for an email of a picture of a signed Daniel Logan card.

.....and I though preprints were ridiculous.

God help us all.

I am considering to start collecting Star Wars autographs, but I'm not sure where to look. Is eBay the best option? Or is there dealers/companies that most people use to start off? I am most interested in starting collecting the main characters of the original episodes (Oz, Prowse, Hamill, Fisher, etc) so I know these probably the most expensive. If anyone has an idea where to shop, it would be greatly appreciated!

Also, I am thinking of sending items to conventions to try to get multi-signed photos. Is there a particular convention or service where you can send your items in to be signed by some of the actors/actresses?

Unless you are familiar with the autographs I would steer you away from ebay. Just way too much stuff that is bad on those pages.

For convention services, I can't speak highly enough about the community of collectors on the Rebelscum forums. There is an autograph thread as well as a autograph classified thread where members tend to post the shows that they will attend and their requests if anyone needs help. Usually for a nominal fee to defray their own costs for travel & convention tickets, thay are happy to help other collectors to get their items signed or pick up photos at the show for you.

The next step would possibly be hiring an in person graph hunter for the non-show names like Frank Oz, Harrison Ford, George Lucas, JJ Abrams, and the majority of the new cast.

Obviously the deceased cast members are a completely different story, for those that you might want to add, collectors will sometimes upgrade their own collection and put pieces up for sale on rebelscum or through some bigger auction houses.

I am here to help out and answer questions about authenticity or maybe even help you locate certain pieces. I have also been known to trade autographs and on occasion sell pieces. Unfortunately the majority of the stuff I have remaining in the collection tend to be on the higher end side, price wise.
