I saw that as well. Very sad.

To me, Christopher Lee was always Scaramanga first. I guess I was more of a James Bond fan than horror when I was younger.

I got this signed photo through the mail in the 90s. I never studied it closely and don't know if he used secretaries. Thoughts?

Very nice! That one looks good to me. He was signing through the mail up through the 90s, but stopped (for the most part) around 2000 or a little after. For reference, here are a couple examples from my collection - the first is a photo sent out by through his official fan club in the 1970s, the second is a quick in-person traded for with another collector that's (I think) from the 1980s, the third is a TTM that I got in the 90s, and the final one is a copy of his autobiography from the early 2000s.

Thanks for sharing, Steve. I believe my Scaramanga photo compares well to your "80s" example as well as the signed book.

This is the only Christopher Lee autograph that I own in my collection. I was attracted to the red ink when I purchased it. I suppose that I had Dracula in mind.
