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.

What do we think about this? Not the best picture, but looking at what I can see(the beginning of Carrie, the end of Fisher, Kenny Baker, and Mark Hamill), I believe this to be authentic. Any one else agree?

Agree. The signatures are tough to see, but what is visible is not promising. When is the last time you saw an Anthony Daniels signature smaller than Kenny Baker?

My first "Star Wars" autographs came from my first celebrity convention, which I attended in 2004. In the ten years since, I've been blessed to get signed photos from David Prowse, Matthew Wood, Amy Allen, Ray Park, Peter Mayhew, Billy Dee Williams, and Shannon McRandle. Most of them were very nice, and Mrs. McRandle even signed for free. Mr. Williams was very silent when I met him, and didn't speak to anyone in his line; this struck me as very rude. If I ever have the chance to meet him again, I hope he's in a much better mood.

As much as I'd love to meet and have autographs from some of the "higher status" actors in the series, I'm not willing to pay the insane prices they're asking. The most I recall ever paying for any autograph is $40, and that was just once. I've heard Mark Hamill regularly charges $150, and Harrison Ford's have been listed as high as $400! In my opinion, that's just crazy. In the end, we are just talking about a signed photo, not gold or jewels. I think some people in Hollywood lose sight of the fact that without fans, they wouldn't be near as famous in spite of their hard work. =(
