<p>I agree with Steve and Terrier about the Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth autographed baseball. I agree with Josh about the Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and James Earl Jones autographed <em>Star Wars </em>movie poster, although I consider Anthony Daniels and Peter Mayhew to be main characters.</p>

<p>On the topic of Disney, seems like a good place to find enthusiasm for behind-the-scenes collecting. Not just animators, but notably theme park imagineers. </p>

<p>I agree with Steve on the Ruth Gehrig ball. Unless it were a 1927 Yankees team ball, that might be a different story.</p>

<p>I meant Ruth Gehrig… A multi signed ball by Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Sorry… But I absolutely disagree. A handful of random players on a Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig signed ball will decimate the value. It would be worth way more with just the two of them. </p>

<p>One of the things I did, when I spent an insane amount of money for a signed Morrison Hotel album signed by the entire band was -- I spent years, tracking down each person on the album. John Sebastian (Lovin' Spoonful), who plays harmonica on Roadhouse Blues, Lonnie Mack, photographer Henry Diltz, bassist Ray Neopolitan -- and they all signed it as well. Only Ray signed by the other 4 band members (one who is also named Ray -- Ray Manzarek), but I think it looks bad-ass that way. A signed…</p>

A signed album, signed by the band but also the studio musicians that played on it !!!! Now, if one of those studio musicians signed right over Jim Morrison (the way Garth Hudson of the Band signed right over Robbie Robertson's signature on my album), yes, that would suck.</p> This is a great question you…tag:live.autographmagazine.com,2022-09-22:3524372:Comment:17766222022-09-22T15:51:39.205ZJosh Boardhttps://live.autographmagazine.com/profile/JoshBoard870
<p>This is a great question you posed. First, in regards to Steve Z and the Ruth Gehrig (we realize you meant Lou), you're actually wrong in that analogy, and it was poorly done. Yes, you're correct. Nobody wants the bat boys on a Gehrig baseball. But you can't tell me some hardcore baseball fan, would rather have a solo Lou Gehrig signed ball, vs. a baseball signed by Lou (on the sweet spot), and around the rest of the ball, signed by 4 or 5 teammates. Especially teammates that maybe played 10…</p>

But you can't tell me some hardcore baseball fan, would rather have a solo Lou Gehrig signed ball, vs. a baseball signed by Lou (on the sweet spot), and around the rest of the ball, signed by 4 or 5 teammates. Especially teammates that maybe played 10 years in the Majors, but aren't Hall of Famers. These are people that...well...there might not be another signature of them out there!!!! Some player that played in that era, why would anybody save the signatures they got from them, as it wasn't the Babe or Gehrig??? I had that very argument from someone that worked for Autograph Magazine years ago, when we were both columnists.</p>
<p>Now, as a movie critic who often interviews the celebs, I'll have movie posters signed, and I do like them signed by ANYBODY associated with the movie. But here's what I wouldn't want. Those signatures to detract from the big guns. So, I had the cinematographer from one movie, sign the movie poster. The 4 big stars had signed on the photo, and you can clearly read their names. I had him sign by where the cast was listed, by his name. So, it doesn't detract from the big names you want to see, but it adds one more signature from someone associated from the movie. Now....would I have that same movie poster signed by the second grip, who might be the 38th name listed in the credits -- no. But if they're name is the movie poster, I want that signature on my movie poster.</p>
<p>I doubt, it's not just related to Star War fans, but I'll use that as an example, since it already was. If you had a Star Wars poster signed by Mark Hamill, Carrie Fischer, James Earl Jones, Harrison Ford -- and they sign near the top...would you NOT want the guy playing Chewbacca or C-3PO (Anthony Daniels), to also sign it? I think I'm speaking for 98% of the people on this website and anyone that collects autographs -- we want the side characters on their, too!!!!!</p> Thanks Mike! :-)tag:live.autographmagazine.com,2022-09-20:3524372:Comment:17758802022-09-20T00:28:45.943ZEric Keith Longohttps://live.autographmagazine.com/profile/Eric947
