Mike, as I said up above to Pete...thanks for your honesty. Straight talk is the best. Please read what I wrote above and respond accordingly. I hear what you said about condition, and see if what I wrote makes sense or is reasonable. I completely agree with you about secondary cast members. I mean...I don't think Bulloch or Rose add a whole lot to the piece, although I have read that Bulloch is very popular with some fans, but regardless...he's not Darth Vader! I wish I could at least replace Bulloch and Rose with Prowse and Billy Dee or certainly McDiarmid. I would say Oz, but apparently he is even more challenging.

But I ask...what is the deal with Oz? Why would he not sign this? I'm really speaking as an innocent newbie here. Thanks for your help!

Also, though I know it's not a nice thing to think about, but there are several stars that are getting on in age. I can't believe Billy Dee Williams is turning 80 this year. Prowse is 82, I think. James Earl Jones is 86, John Williams is 85. So if you don't have some of their autographs, and you want them, and you have enough funds, now would be a good time to get them.

Frank Oz has been refusing to sign for the last 8 months or so. Long story, some are saying he will never sign again, but only time will tell.

Thanks for the info...but doesn't he understand that I really want and need his autograph on my album?! Lol.

So then if that's the case, might we see prices continue to rise on his signed photos and the like?

Probably, especially on multis.

I like the piece! I know it has its faults, but if I were to buy a piece starting out and not worrying about reselling I would want that!

Thanks, Adam! Yeah, it's not perfect, but it has some nice attributes. This may sound weird, but I kind of like the three different shades of pen color...because it kind of adds character...if that makes sense...because it looks like a piece where the fan or collector went around and slowly put the piece together at various events, which is exactly what happened. It looks like it took some work to accomplish.

Yea, absolutely. I am sure Pete and Mike know what they are talking about, with the higher end Star Wars collectors with condition and who is missing.

The dark surface makes it tough...But for me (I love Star Wars, but don't collect) i would want Mark, Carrie, Ford the most. The fact that you have Lucas and Williams is awesome! Chewbaca and 3po and are great too! I also love Boba Fett so that is cool to me too.

It is sad no R2D2, but was Baker in the suit always anyways? Not knocking Kenny, but I thought someone else controlled it?

Anyways I think you have a great piece purelly imo on that it is cool and I would be happy with it, but I don't know anything about reselling but am sure there are people like me who would be happy to start out with a piece like that. Congrats!

Thanks, Adam. Yeah I know...I really wish Kenny were on this. To me, yes, you have to have Mark, Carrie, and Harrison. And then I look at those three together with C3PO, R2D2, and Chewy as being the core six. But, of course, Star Wars isn't Star Wars without Darth Vader. So I really wish I had Prowse/Jones and Kenny. But I do really like it. To me, there's really nothing as awesome as Star Wars as far as pop culture goes.

Hello new here. I have photo signed by Mayhew, Hamill, Guiness and Ford. I have had it for 5 years now and it is the crown of my Star Wars items. I pray it is real as it will definitely be a hard blow if not. Either way I will keep it forever. Thanks

Hi Darth - feel free to post a photo of it if you would like to know. Sounds like a cool piece.
