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.

That is a great story. Anthony Daniels sounds like a really nice person.

Was it a The Force Awakens signed poster being discussed that Profiles in History had on Invaluable.com? PIH emailed one to me this afternoon asking for input, along with a lot of ILM documentation. I sent it to Pete, who said it was bad and the documentation was fake. They immediately pulled it from the auction.

Last I checked they had a dozen or so cast signed posters, all of them were fake.

Those were from multiple sellers on Invaluble.

I received 5 messages asking for opinions on posters from PIH. I just checked all the links and they have all been removed. They had a Guardians of the Galaxy, Game of Thrones, Star Wars and I don't remember the others. All were the same premiere poster hologram/fake COAs that we see on ebay. Good on them for pulling them. Hopefully now they know to look out for those bogus COAs which can be pretty convincing.

Thanks to Pete's tip about Celebration II signed photos, I got this for my 8 year old son for $14.99! He absolutely loves Star Wars.

A friend asked me if I could find anything out about this print he found in a thrift shop. The signature lower-right is probably the artist, I assume. Any help appreciated!

Since Ryan Gosling was not Luke Skywalker, my guess would be a fan made poster designed to look vintage.

In 2011 Gosling was in a movie called Drive. He played a stuntman who wore a jacket with a scorpion on it, like Mike said it's either a fan made poster or a Mondo type litho criss-crossing the two. They just popped him into a Star Wars image and slapped a scorpion on the hood of the landspeeder.
