Does anyone here collect autographs?

I’m asking, because I do and I want to see if there are any others.

That has all of mine (that I could find, anyway). I still have two somewhere else.

I don’t but if I do have someone special sign my stuff, then I usually keep it some place in my room. Other wise, it goes in my parent’s room. BUt I have a hat signed by players in the Chargers and I think that is about it. Things got lost in my room. :stuck_out_tongue:

The only autograph I have is of the band Skillet. I loves them. :stuck_out_tongue:

Sarah has autographed 2 other items of mine, but I don’t have photos of them yet.

I’m planning on attending The Fabulous Food Show in Cleveland on either November 10 or 11 and hoping to meet celebrity chef Alton Brown. I watch Food Network for HIM. ;-p

Rhythm, Tom Kane?! Professor Utonium…Lord Monkey Fist…Mr. Herriman…SQUEEE! :smiley:

PV: HOly cow! You are one lucky person! (complains in the other room) :unamused:

I’d like to but I can never meet the people I want autographs of.

The only autographs I have are the two artists from The Crystal Method. I got to meet them backstage after a concert.

I’ve got the autographs from the authors of my favourite book series, Paul Steward and Chris Riddell. But, apart from that, I haven’t got anything. I’ve always wanted Steve Buscemi’s autograph though.

Rhythm and PV- You’ve both got great collections, there! I wonder how much you’d get for it all on eBay… :laughing:

I only colect Bottles and License Plates. I have a Coke bottle from the 30’s that I found in a ditch. Near where I live. I also got a Gold Plated Coke bottle celebrating 100 years of coke. And I got a License Plate from 1928.

Zero. :wink:

Dude, that isn’t relevant.

Nothing at all.

My Eddie Rabbit sig might fetch a little, but:

  1. There’s a huge crease in the photo, limiting it’s value.
  2. He’s been dead since 1996, so there’s no way I’m giving it away.

Also, very few people are interested in buying autographs that have been personalized.

The only autograph I got is through the mail- I wrote a letter to Gilmer McCormick and got a response and an autograph, but nobody knows her so I shouldn’t have mentioned it. :unamused:

And I got Tim Curry’s autograph, but I didn’t meet him- I bought the autograph off the internet. >_<

Here is a list of all the autographs I have “collected” over the years:

Jake Lloyd (a.k.a., young Anakin Skywalker in The Phantom Menace - I received his autograph at the Star Wars Celebration IV convention in Los Angeles last year. The poor guy was so freakin’ tired when I met him, and rightly so – he’d been signing autographs for about…seven or eight hours straight, I believe. :unamused:

Anthony Daniels (a.k.a., C-3PO) - Once again, I obtained a signed autograph from him at the Star Wars Celebration IV convention. I had wanted to meet him for years, and I finally got my chance in May. He’s quite a nice gentleman, I must admit. He also has the coolest handwriting in the entire galaxy. I’ll have to show you a picture of it…

Geoff Johns - I didn’t even know who the guy was at the time, but I soon learned that Mr. Johns is a well-known comic book artist. I attended a seminar that was hosted by him in the Disney Studios Backlot. Feel free to check out his website and work here: geoffjohns.com/

I also have an autograph by one of my dad’s animator friends who goes by the name of Art. Oh, and I have a Finding Nemo poster that has Ellen DeGeneres’, Albert Brooks’, and Alexander Gould’s autographs on it, but my mom bought that off of Ebay, so it doesn’t count. Eheh. :stuck_out_tongue:

To top it all off, my sister has Carrie Fisher’s autograph (although she didn’t meet her personally; my dad got it for her) and my dad has Ollie Johnson’s and Frank Thomas’ autographs, as does my mom (I believe).

As you can tell, we’re pretty big Star Wars geeks. :stuck_out_tongue:

PV - Dang alive. You’re so freakin’ lucky. :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh! I forgot to list Jake Lloyd! Dash and I saw him at Disney-MGM Studios during their Star Wars Weekends. Unbeknownst to both of us, to obtain a spot in line to meet him, a special Fastpass is required. Luckily, I got a pitygraph. Heheh.

PV - Heheh. A “pitygraph”… :laughing: :stuck_out_tongue:

Cool! That makes two of us. He’s a nice dude. I’m sure that Mr. Lloyd was a little more awake the time you met him, though. (snigger)

Nothing special. I haven’t had the luxury of getting autographs by Brad Bird, John Lasseter, Jake Lloyd, etc.

I have though, gotten many autographs by Mark Kistler, the man I owe a huge debt of gratitude for making me what I am today. He’s the guy who inspired me to pick up a pencil and draw to begin with when I was nine years old, and because of that, influenced my pursuit of a career in animation.

Here’s the list of items signed by Mark:

  1. T-shirts
  2. 5 drawing books that he has written
  3. Videos of his television series
  4. Drawings of his that he did at his classes that I went to for four years

PV - All I have to say is… WOW! You have to be one of the luckiest women out there. You must value that Michael Bird autograph with your life. :wink:

I also have autographed drawings of Karen Johnson, who is a animator here in Wisconsin and has been on Mark’s show many times. She was at one of his classes and drew the sketch in one of my many sketchbooks. I also have another autographed drawing of a Wisconsin animator whose name escapes me right now. He also did that one in the same sketchbook.

You all are so lucky! I wish I could meet more famous people. :frowning:
