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.

Hi guys!

What do you think of this Carrie Fischer:

http://www.autographcollection.co.uk/carrie-fisher-autograph-signed...

If real, I thought the inscription was pretty cool since I have read here that she can be pretty difficult. It reads "I'd just as soon french kiss a Wookie"... :-)

I´m not looking to buy since I pretty much only collects music sigs, just thought I should show it to you and hear what you think about it!

Definitely real :)

She's a nut, and can be difficult when it comes to inscriptions, especially adding her character name, but there's no shortage of her stuff out there with them. Some of them get really weird.

Last one I saw said "thanks for last night xoxo".

This is my most up-to-date collection, come 2015. I hope you enjoy. Just for educational purposes, I've included ones I know I have collected to be fake when I was a bit of a raw collector, sadly for me. Happily, I've managed to correct that error by replacing it with a genuine piece.

This is one of Peter Mayhew, assuming it was signed for Celebration Japan.

I bought this from a public dealer some years back, signed by Dave Prowse, Julian Glover and Declan

Mulholland.

This is a piece signed by Warwick Davis (had this signed on a Harry Potter image) - its a really nice gold ink

piece.

This autograph was bought in good faith from a store in Las Vegas. Which one, I can't remember. It was in 2005. This is of Harrison Ford. Unfortunately, its a forgery and a pretty poor one at that, too.

My mum got this for me, signed by Anthony Daniels. Signature is a bit faded, but I believe it real.

One of Samuel L. Jackson from a regular shot - bought from a public dealer. I believe this real.

One of Harrison Ford from his private signing for Official Pix in 2011. Really nice piece.

One of Christopher Lee, bought from his official site, some years back.

An in person autograph of David Prowse, obtained in London. Very nice piece. My mum got this for me when she went to the ideal home exhibition - he was doing another exhibit, signing items and luckily, mum was on hand to oblige.

Alec Guinness, bought through a dealer.

One of Frank Oz as Yoda. Bought from a public dealer.

One of Billy Dee Williams. Bought from a public dealer.

Liam Neeson, bought through a public dealer.

Ray Park as Darth Maul, bought through Celebrity Authentics.

One of Jeremy Bulloch, non star wars, but gorgeous all the same. Bought this through a public dealer in UK.

James Earl Jones autograph, obtained through a public dealer.

Ewan McGregor, obtained through a public dealer.

Ian McDiarmid, obtained through a UK dealer.

One Kenny Baker my mum got for me - signature is slightly faded.

Jake Lloyd, bought through a public dealer.

Well I hope you enjoyed my collection - looking forward to seeing other people's. Maybe one day add to it. Would love to add a Cushing or a Portman, but that'd be very difficult.

Those are great pix! Too bad about the fake Indy. I'm slowly getting to know his signature but I'm really relying on a few people here to help me when I come across an item-thanks everyone!

What do you know about GAI? Are they reputable when it comes to Star Wars autographs? To tell the truth, I kinda trust the people like you on here more than any company.

Cheers,Rob.

You are best going through reputable IP companies for SW autos. I know little of gai. I tend to buy only through legit ip companies or trusted sources and always abide by the autograph code. You can't go wrong as long as you tick all the boxes.

Avoid GA & GAI like the plague.

I am not an expert but sig looks ok but I'd prefer a photo rather than a card... Best just to buy from an ip company. Only once in a lifetime and piece of mind.
