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.

He's actually posting a bunch of tweets confirming legit items, FB is trending it, as well as some online celeb sites now have articles on it :) Awesome and good for him for helping out the fans!

Mr. Jason Wingreen, the original voice of Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back passed away on Christmas morning. There was never a kinder man in Star Wars fandom. Until he was in the care of others, he never refused an autograph for a fan, usually signing multiple items and writing long handwritten letters of his appreciation for his fans. Suffering from severe arthritis never stopped him, he was a true gentleman.

He was 95 years old.

May he RIP.

I am extremely saddened to hear about Mr. Wingreen's dying. I had written him about his appearances on All in the Family just to tell how much I enjoyed it. I never expected a reply and did not request an autograph. I was surprised when a package arrived with a wonderful handwritten note saying how much he appreciated my letter. He also sent me an 8x10 of him with Carroll O'Connor. A truly great character actor and great human being he will be missed.

So 2015 is behind us, the drunken debauchery has faded, the hangovers should be gone, now is the time for the year end round up. What Star Wars goodies did you add to the collection this past year? Show us or tell us, it's your call.

In the past few years Star Wars autographs were an ever shrinking section of my new acquisitions, yet this year they came in at about 15%, and I can't even blame that on the new film. Out of 75 new items only a dozen can be blamed on TFA.

Lots of Lucas, a few Fords, half dozen Hamills, some Portmans, a couple of John Williams, J.J.s and Alecs, lots of one of a kind artwork from Colin Cantwell, John Dykstra, Billy Dee, Ewan, John Mollo, Steve Leialoha and Warwick Davis.

The big winners were Alex McCrindle and a small pile of Daisy Ridleys.

So what did you get?
