Those are some great pieces David. Many people consider Blade Runner to be the greatest science fiction film ever made. I am personally partial to 2001: A Space Odyssey but with autographs like those I may reconsider. Perhaps I should just watch Blade Runner again.

Just completed a Kiss Alive 2 Album. I got this already signed by Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley (smudged), Tommy Thayer, and Eric Singer. I purchased this off Craig list for a GREAT PRICE!.. I then got it authenticated by JSA. I then got Ace Frehley in person and just got Peter Criss the other weekend. :) I was a little nervous asking them to sign something that Thayer and Singer had signed. The only person who said something was Peter Criss' wife.

That's awesome. I saw them in concert in 1976 or 77. I actually saw them again (opening for Aerosmith) a few years ago. Not quite the same as my "first" concert but still brought back memories!

Here is my signed Van Halen A Different Kind of Truth CD that I originally posted on page 72 but the photo was blurry and it was bothering me so I am posting it again here. Sorry for the confusion.

I love the 1951 Bowman. That was a great set. Very nice.

Thank you. The Bowman sets from the early 50's are spectacular along with 52-54 Topps. It's also amazing what Topps went from in 1951 to their first big set in 1952. 1977 Topps is my favorite only because it was the first set I collected in its entirety. I have everything from 1969 (the year I was born) to the present and I am slowly working my way back. I was seriously considering a 1954 Topps set the other day but it was a high grade set and I would have had to break it up to at least make my money back. Unfortunately I always want to keep and never want to sell!

I find it interesting that you consider the 1977 Topps set to be your favorite. The first set that I collected as a kid was the 1978 Topps set and the first set that I ever completed was the 1988 Topps set. Those are my two favorites.
