I have not got any sucesses ttm but bought an autographed picture of robert stack at a flea market for ten bucks! It looks authentic copared to ones on the internet. If it is not at least it is woth it for the picture and frame. At a comic book store i bought a siderman comic book signed by brian michael bendis for 7 bucks!
I bought several photos through the Hollywood convention mainly people that I have received RTS or PP from and this way I know that they were in person at least.
Just dropped off a birthday card at the post office today to Nicholas Hammond (Friedrich von Trapp from "The Sound of Music"). His birthday is May 15th and he lives in Australia. I hope he gets it on time. Sent with a Self Addressed Envelope, though the post office said that U.S. return postage won't work. So I added a note to Nick to let me know how much reimbursement I'll need to send him for a response.
Received a Daniel Craig autograph today. (I am collecting autographs for a childrens Wish foundation auction) I designed a card and asked them to sign and draw a picture or just autograph it. I knew it had to be Daniel craig as soon as I saw the James Bond drawing. The picture can be seen here: http://kardz4kidz.webs.com/apps/photos/album?albumid=8346195

My apologies. In my post about an hour ago under a Military success I listed Edward Brown as a Tuskegee Airmen, and he was not, but he was a survivor from the U.S.S. Indianapolis.
been a lucky week, haven't posted them so here they are, Don Shula 8x10, Hank Williams jr 8x10, S.Truett Cathy signed book, Ed Hochuli signed 5x7, 2 Georges St. Pierre signed 8x10's,4 Bj Penn signed 8x10's, Judge Judy 8x10 and Steve Wilkos 8x10
Today the mail brought me the 3 x5 card I sent to 6-time Emmy Award winning actress from the hit TV show "Cagney and Lacey," as well as the hit TV show "Judging Amy," Tyne Daly. She signed it beautifully in black ink pen, and wrote, "Thank you, Jeffery" underneath it. I say, "Thank you, Ms. Daly" for the autograph and for that great lady cop show from 1982-1988.
I got autographs from former wrestlers Barrry Darsow - smash of demolition and bobby fulton formerly of the fantasics. Thanks Russ! for the address for Bobby Fulton.
I got an in person autograph from the lead singer of the grass roots rob grill in concert earlier this evening. I thought he might say something about signing 3 items but he just joked about working a little harder signing more. An awsome signer!

sorry i have not posted lately. a little dry spell again but the past three days have been great. well atleast two out of three. day one I found a post card with allen Jackson on the front and a sorry note stating that the fan club does not give away autographs that i would have to pay. well if I would have known it was a fan club i would not have wasted a stamp. Then the next day i got a nice 5x9 signed harlem globe trotters and the next. well let me set the story in motion. i like to walk rob dyrdrek , a skate baord millionaire with my youngest son. I was watching when they showed an episode where his bull dog meaty, got a label deal for a dog food company which my dogs eat, well low and behold, the owner of the company is non other then Dick Van Patten from the tv show eight is enough. which i watched when i was a kid. well i wrote him an email and got a reply from his pr lady stating that he was happy to here from e and that he would love to send me an autographed photo and a some coupons. got them in the mail saturday . very nice 8x10 autographed by him and his soon jimmy. so it is amazing where you can find successes.
I received Bruce Dern in the mail on Monday. I loved his character in the movie Support Your Local Sheriff. When he was placed in jail that had no bars or doors just a red splatter on the floor that was supposed to be the last person that tried to leave.
Just received back today the "Then and Now" photo of first year Mouseketeer Mary Espinosa that I mailed to her home address. Very nice and positive correspondence with her via e-mail the past two weeks.
I bought and finally got an autograph bought from shop goodwill.com. It was a autographed photo from mousketeer Julie from thelate 70s version of the mickey mouse club. I won the bid of this for 20 bucks but the shipping was 10 bucks for it.
Robert did you send two different requests or did you receive someone elses back with yours? I am waiting for mine from him but I mailed a picture that was already signed by David McCallum from the show Man from U.N.C.L.E.
I sent to different requests out Chris! I thought the first one got lost. I also think he lived somewhere else or part of the year and is playing catch up so hopefully you will get yours soon.
as all of you have probably read Gary Colmen has passed away today. he was 42 years old. life support was terminated by his family after slipping into a coma earlier. another member of my generation of celebrities is gone. we will think of him every timne we hear " what you talkin bout willis! rip Gary.
I got an autograph in the mail from jonathon coachman who used to do a lot of commentary for the wwe and is know with espn. He also went the extra mile signing my note cards.
Just got back in the mail my signed 1965 Topps baseball card of former White Sox, Reds, and Red Sox outfielder, Floyd Robinson. Floyd played 9 years, hit for a career .283 batting average, and led the American League with 45 doubles in 1962.
I recieved NASCAR Hall of Famer Junior Johnson in the mail yesterday, unfortunately some of the ink from the Sharpie stuck to the toploader than I had mailed in it.
Slow mail time, but letters will get out and returns will pick up I am sure, but the last couple of weeks here is what I have received. If anyone needs an address do not hesitate to drop an email off group.

I received in today's mail Don Grady's 2008 CD "Boomer:JazRokPop" personally signed by Don, along with a photo of him in his Mouseketeer days that I sent through Mouseketeer Mary Espinosa which he also signed. Mary had also passed on to him to read the "One Brief Signing Moment" article I had in the June/July 2007 issue of AUTOGRAPH. He sent that back, as well, with his signature and thanks. You may remember him best from his 12 year stint on "My Three Sons" as Robbie Douglas. His birthday is actually today. Thanks, Don!!!!
