Without a doubt, this vintage signed C. 1955 Joyce Randolph SP. I searched for 6 years everyday for this after selling my previous example to a friend looking to complete a set. I am thrilled to have a complete set of vintage SP's once again, and the fountain pen signature is much more attractive then the early skipping ballpoint on the previous example.
The previous example:

Wow! Congrats on concluding your "6 year Hunt" with this prize autograph Eric Keith Longo!
One of the nicest "Trixie Norton"'s that I've seen.
+1 to "the fountain pen signature is much more attractive".

I know i got a lot of good ones this year. Currently in boxes because I just moved. Also lost out on about 10 because the post office is horrible at forwarding. Lost my Anniston, kenny g, Josh brolin, Jimmy Fallon, Chris pine to name a few. They sure did forward those useless mail advertisements though.
Picked keanu reeves, Tom Selleck, Kevin Conner, deion sanders, Brian may, jlo and katie perry to name a few off the top of my head.
wanted pacino to sign his book as well as cher. Oh well, another time.

I guess the Chappell Roan signed CD would be up there largely on the basis of how quickly she blew up (and how much authentic signatures are going for now). Other prime ones include the signed vinyls from Tate McRae (Newbury), Melanie Martinez, Gracie Abrams, Remi Wolf (all three from Electric Fetus), Billie Eilish, personalized items from Aurora, Charli XCX and Beabadoobee thanks to Banquet. A few others as well.
Misses include Gwen Stefani (still waiting to see how this plays out, but it seems like at the very least the vinyl is bad), Bon Jovi autopenned CDs, Ashley Sienna poster (shipped as a flat, badly damaged but was able to get one from her in person last month).

Misses: Would have been nice to grab a Wicked CD for my daughter. The Judas Priest signings earlier in the year were kind of a debacle. Can't think of much that was a clean miss. Had plenty of chances on The Offspring but ultimately passed.

Hey Jimmy James! Glad to see you're still around. Good job taking a step back with purchases. I tried for a while but fell back in to old habits. This year seems to be lacking in big names compared to previous years, still a great year overall though and I still scored some great items. I've been focused more on hunting down hidden gems on ebay to fill out my collection but here is a list of items I bought solely based off of this community. Looking at them all written down now, this year really wasn't as bad as it seemed.
Josh Gad
Keanu Reeves
Bill and Hillary Clinton
Michelle Obama
Donald Trump
Gwen Stefani
Danny Carey
Nick Mason
William Shatner
Chris Pine
Judas Priest
Green Day
Jerry Cantrell

Van Morrison
Laufey
Smashing Pumpkins greatest hits
Lindsey Stirling
Alex Van Halen
The Warning
Caroline Polachek
Kerry King
Jon Anderson
Geezer Butler
Aurora
Michael Richards
Alex Lifeson
One Republic
Timothy B Schmidt
Kraftwerk
Bonnie Tyler
Devo
John Densmore
Alan Jackson
Jeff Goldblum
Mark Knopfler
Mr Big
Coldplay
Extreme six signed vinyl not insert
Brooks and Dunn
Katy Perry
Gillian Anderson
Keenan Thompson
Kate McKinnon
Jennifer Aniston
Kevin CostnerEdit: forgot Deep Purple on a canvas
Mark Hoppus on preorder
I regret missing out on Eminem and Eddie Vedder but they were so pricy anyways. Still, I probably would have pulled the trigger if I saw them when they were in stock. Oh and missed out on Bill Gates as well but hoping he will come back in stock. Im also sad the Carly Simon vinyl was canceled and never happened

Best over the Holiday, Jimmy
