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 know JD is their modern celeb guy now and either he nailed it, or someone there got confused and stickered an authentic piece by accident.

A perfect set in every way, likely signed on the press junket in 1983.

Has JSA been that bad?

All I will speak about is what I know, their celebrity authentication has been a complete failure, they seriously get as much wrong as GAI. Star Wars items with JSA sticker are usually a horror show. They still to this day insist upon authenticating secretarial Carrie Fishers, and some of the worst forgeries of Hamill and Ford that I have ever seen.

With JD now one of their experts, I had high hopes that things would improve, but from what I have seen lately, it certainly seems that they continue to to try and do it "in house," instead of asking Mr. Bardwell to look at items.

I seem to recall someone here on this forum relating Mr. Epperson's comment about not seeing items that have JSA stickers, so they seem to have a long history of not using the services of their experts.
