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.

A friend of mine has recently caught the Star Wars autograph bug, and what seemed to be a simple question asked by him, turned into one very interesting answer from me that took a while to explain.

I figured it may help some newbies here and might also clarify some things for long time collectors as well.

The topic was Official Pix and identifying material that was signed for them to sell, opposed to blank images signed at a later time.

Here we go... This is an Officially Licensed Official Pix Star Wars AutographThis is an Officially Licensed Star Wars Photograph, autographed privately

This is an Officially Licensed Official Pix Indiana Jones Autograph

Lastly, an Official Pix Autograph, after letting the Official Lucasfilm license go.

and here is a cheat sheet image....

So the Official Pix sticker will always have the word autograph on it.

If it is autographed under their supervision, yes.

When they held the license for Indy and SW photographs, the holograms say "PHOTOGRAPH" the 2 on the left-side of the cheat sheet image (I used what I had available, sorry if not super clear)

It gets even more confusing when you have a multi signed shielded photo. Some of the RS shots were sold with Ford only and shielded, some were sold with all 4 and shielded the exact same way.

That happened with a number of signings where you could pick your photo. Hamill signings, Fisher signings and Ford signings.

The explanation and conversation took long enough, if I went there heads would be exploding and nosebleeds, cats and dogs living together.....you get the picture.
