Should original movie posters be autographed?

This is one debate that just refuses to go away... If you were to ask 10 different collectors, you might get five votes "yes" and five votes "no," but each answer will come with a unique (and logical) reasoning as to why those people feel that way. In all my years of collecting, I have yet to be convinced of what is right and what is wrong.

Let's take, for example, an original poster for "Night of the Creeps" (one of my favorite horror/sci-fi flicks from the '80s). The movie is… Continue

A rare signed Living Dead Doll from one of it's creators!

I met Damien Glonek one of the creators of these Living Dead Dolls at Horrorfind in Maryland not long ago.

His partner Ed long I met during this past Halloween Chiller convention!

A friend and neighbor of mine, Nick, has been collecting these dolls since it's inception.

When I spoke with Damien a few weeks ago, I told him that when I meet he and his partner at Chiller, that Nick would be interviewing them because he knew so much about these dolls and was an avid… Continue

Autographed Artist John Ruthven Bought Cheap

In the Union-Tribune here in San Diego, there was a story about a guy that bought a signed print for charity. It was a signed, limited edition print of a leaping mahi mahi, and went for $60 for Promises 2 Kids, which benefits abused children.

He Googled the Ohio artist, and discovered Ruthven was a renowned wildlife painter that had works in the White House, Smithsonian, Neil Armstrong Air and Space Museum, and other prestiges places.

This guy even contacted the artist's… Continue

Autographed La-Z-Boy Photo and Empty Box

So, this guy got arrested for drunk driving. Unlike the goofy woman who called 911 to report a drunk driver, only to tell the operator "I am them." And being asked to pull over, while a cop found her and arrested her for a DUI.

This guy drove his La-Z-Boy into a parked truck and got into trouble.

He's selling autographed pictures on eBay to raise money (I believe, for his legal defense). The first photo sold for $750, which baffles me. That's about the price I would pay… Continue

Warnings in the NASCAR hobby. Now is the time to....

BEWARE!!! It seems that many "collectors" are dumping collections of old die-cast cars, trading cards, and driver postcards / photos & Magazines at this time. What appears to be a growing trend is that some of these sellers are forging signatures ( or they bought the items already signed wit ha forgery and didn't know ) onto these older items in hopes of drawing interest.

DON'T be fooled by these older ( vintage ) NASCAR collectibles that are signed. Understanding the evolution… Continue

Reality stars: Are they REALLY worth getting autographs from?

OK, let me get this out of the way right off the bat... I'm not a reality TV junkie. When I turn on the TV, I watch shows like "House," "24" and "Lost." You know, shows that are well-written with great actors... TV the way it used to be before network executives got stupid and filled their timeslots with people who do nothing but fight, argue and throw tantrums.

50 years ago, we had Bob Hope and Lucille Ball. Today, we have Jon and Kate. Not exactly what I'd call… Continue

An Education -- Not in signed books!

I just saw the indie film "An Education". Emma Thompson is amazing in everything, as is Alfred Molina.

But the young girl in this steals the show. You'll be hearing about her during Oscar time.

Her much older boyfriend (she's 16), wants to convince the parents it's okay to let her go to Oxford over the weekend.

He claims to know C.S. Lewis. The mom states how much the girl loved the book "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe."

I won't tell you what… Continue

TV Showing Autographs and More...

At one of the Indian casinoes in town, in late November, Bob Eubanks and Jamie Farr (Klinger on MASH) are going to be hosting some gameshow type of contest. I'm sure they'd be available for autographs, if anyone is interested. It's at Sycuan.

On TMZ yesterday, they showed baseball stud A-Rod leaving a restaurant. A few other players were leaving, and signed autographs for the 10 children waiting. A-Rod only signed three, before hopping into a car. The TMZ staff commented on how mean… Continue

The Most Interesting Man in the World...Likes to sign autographs!

You've all seen the commercials. The Dos Equis beer spots, where actor Jonathan Goldsmith walks around, as a narrator says he's the most interesting man in the world. I believe they give him a different name. Something that sounds Latino. But I'm not positive on that.

Goldsmith was featured in the Parade, syndicated newspaper magazine in a variety of Sunday papers. Someone named Pat Scranton in Lodi, California asked if he was really that interesting. Parade… Continue

Brad Pitt in Motorcycle Crash

Fight Club star Brad Pitt, had his motorcycle get into a fight with a parked car.

He was trying to manoeuvre between cars in LA traffic (gotta love that LA traffic), and his handlebars clipped a parked car. He toppled to the ground after swerving to avoid hitting another car stopped at a light.

No ambulance was needed, but a tow-truck was. His bike wouldn't start, and the tow-truck took him and the cycle home. I'm guessing the driver also got an autograph, although...no… Continue

More Than a Game, More Than a Zombie

I just saw the documentary More Than a Game. I actually enjoyed it a lot more than the critically praised "Hoop Dreams" from a decade ago.

It showed LeBron James in high school, and even years before that, playing with the same group of kids. It was so interesting following their stories. One kid was only 4'10", and the crowd laughed when he entered the game. Until he made six 3-pointers in the span of about five minutes!

It was great watching the boys being asked to sign… Continue

Indiana Pacers Pre-Season Game 2

I was able to attend the 2nd home Pre-Season game the Pacers had vs. the Rockets at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on October 16, 2009. The game was, really, anything but spectacular. Indiana pulled out the game 119-104, but the stars saw minimal minutes to allow those trying to make the team a final push.

For the autograph chaser, the game turned out to be the perfect place to be. As the players were finishing warm-ups, some decided to sign on their way to the locker room. Rod… Continue

R.I.P Soupy Sales

Soupy Sales passed away recently.

I interviewed Soupy in New York last year, and his autographed photo to me along with a photo of him signing for me can be seen in the April 2008 issue of this magazine under my column the Sci-Fi Scene.

His helper Kathy is emailing me with possible info she may wish fans to know, so I will hopefully post more here later this week.

It was a pleasure meeting this icon of our culture, and I am happy he autographed a few great items… Continue

Martha Stewart -- A Recipe for a Good Autograph

I'm not a fan. In fact, I don't think I've ever turned the stove on in the condo I'm currently living in.

But she came to Costo here in Carlsbad, California, a few days ago.

She signed 1,000 copies of her book, even staying 45 minutes after her alloted time. The publisher said that's a record for the amount of books she's signed at one time.

One lady caught Stewart as she left the store, and she still signed for her. I had always wondered if people did that,… Continue
