Macca encounter

I thought I'd share a PM encounter.
Today, in London outside his office in Soho sq i saw Macca. I was the only person there, and i had a copy of one of his solo CD's for signing (Ram). He came out and said very politely that he does not sign there ('because this is business' i think he said, or words to that effect). 'But in can shake your hand' he said, and did so before getting into the car. 'And thank you for being a fan' he ended with. Nice. He was great. Of course, i have seen him sign there many times over the years, but less recently. This is the first time i have actually heard him say he does not sign there, so i suppose this is relatively new. Anyway, as a genuine fan, it was great to see him today - he's a class act.

Also there are photos/videos of Paul signing for some people at the Eight Days A Week premier last fall in the UK.

To Adam, Ricardo, and Mr. Steffman:

When he signed (after 2013), did he give out "Pal", which is the quickie street version, or was it "Paul McC________"?

What I wrote is based on the information I have. I would love to know that he still gives out "Paul McC_____" to the public because I need him on two group items.

I know a few guys who got him in Cleveland in 2015. But I don't count it because he basically wrote "Pol". This happened when he was leaving the Rock and Roll HOF ceremony. He signed three of four along a fence. They were just about the worst versions I've seen.

It was dedicated to me and 'Paul Mcc' , on a Wings best of LP, and he signed a variety of other times for 5-6 others.

In reply to mr . Steffman, I have seen Macca many, many times since the mid 80's, and I have NEVER found him to be rude or anything other than polite and courteous to anyone - even if he won't sign. Maybe his attitude depends on how people treat HIM when they see him.

Ricardo, I've never approached him with anything but respect and kindness. I'm also a huge fan. Just stating my experiences. I don't know how many times I've witnessed him being pompous, maybe 20. Not to say he isn't smiling or being cooperative about signimg while also having that snootiness aspect about him.

The Heather Mills divorce papers paint a portrait of him that I cam believe.

There was one time I took a picture without Paul's permission and he ordeed Mark Hamilton to "Get him!" ... he smashed my camera and left both of my arms bloody. So maybe I"m biased.

It is definetly a dedicated Paul McC version he got. I asked Nick to post it, so hopefully he will.

There is always a chance anyone will sign. I am not saying he is signing for hundreds on the streets, but he still does or has signed decent autographs lately.

After looking at a picture of Nicks autograph again. I will say it is nore of a PaulM (sorta of a half M with his swooping line) still not a horrible graph and leaves me hope one day. In any case my point is to never say never. Because you never know 100% if you aren't the one trying.

I haven't seen a really nice signature out of him in awhile. Attached is a typical modern sig from NYC. Also attaching Nick's recent nicer one from the midwest. (He won't mind seeing it shared here.)

That's a beaut!

If I was famous like Paul and obsessed with autographs like I am, I would NEVER sign. Not once and my autograph would be super rare and that would be so cool. But I would let people take pictures with me as I actually feel that SHOULD hold more value to the person and you can't sell it.

The idea that he won't do that might mean it has less to do with resale and more to do with he is sick of fans. I guess I can't really blame him after all these years of being hassled.
