Thank you for visiting my page in cyber space. This is a chance for me to showcase my collection, which includes Star Wars actor/actress autographs, Metallica vintage and modern autographs, Rock-N-Roll autograph collection, Star Trek autographs and one of my favorite areas of collecting, Carlton Fisk. I've always wanted to do this and I finally got up the nerve to give it a shot. Anything listed on this site, is part of my personal collection and is not for sale. I do not sell autographs, I just collect them, sorry!
Like millions of other people across the country, I grew up with the Star Wars movies. In the early 1990's I finally decided I really wanted to focus my collecting in the Star Wars genre. In 1992, Harrison Ford was a visitor to Chicago to film the movie "The Fugitive". Since I had been actively getting autographs from celebrities and music stars I knew where most celebrities stayed while in Chicago. My first experience was nerving to say the least with Ford, and I ended up getting one picture signed and talking to him for several moments. From that moment on I was hooked on Star Wars autographs and since that time I have assembled one of the larger and more diverse SW collections around.
I also enjoy collecting autographs from my favorite band Metallica. I've been lucky enough to see them perform 19 times since 1991 and I've also met the band members numerous times, too many to recall. After getting fed up at collecting the modern signatures of the band I shifted my focus to pre-1987 autographs from the band, specifically the era when the original basist Cliff Burton was alive. As you will see, I have one of the most diverse and unique Metallica autograph collections in existence.
I hope you enjoy viewing the signatures that I have featured here. Countless hours of waiting outside hotels, standing in lines at shows and mailing requests away have been put into making this collection a reality. I'm going to try and update the site as much as possible and I hope you come back frequently.
Updated Content!!!
I'm starting to change things up a little bit as I get more comfortable with my website. Usually on this page were all of my autographed figures, all 290 different! That was taking forever to load up, so instead of that, I switched the figures to different pages. If you scroll over the signed figure bar on the top left hand side you will see each different series of collections and you can click on each to view the figures in that series. When I first started working on this site, I had no idea how to structure it, how to put it together but now after having it for over a year I finally figured a few things out and I'm making changes.
Hopefully in the next few months, I'll start writing about some cool in person stories that I've had in the past and I'm also going to be adding loads of content including a section of my candid photos with celebrities and more autographs! I have many more sections planned for this site and I look forward to educating and giving collectors a great reference for authentic signed autographs.
I hope everyone has a Happy New Year.
What's New??
Ok April is long gone and we are in mid-May!!!!! I was lucky enough to have a friend outside of the Late Show with Jay Leno on Friday May 9, when Ford signed a few autographs leaving. The photo seen here, the first scene in which Han Solo says hello to the fans of the Star Wars is signed by Ford and Peter Mayhew. I was unfortunately inside of the Leno studios watching the taping and was unable to get outside, though I did meet Ford before the show backstage and had a chance to shake his hand. I have been actively picking up new great pieces in bunches! I just added some wonderful Star Wars pieces including some real nice Peter Cushing signatures. Included are the only signed color photo (8-1/2 x 11) that I have owned or seen and one of the toughest, if not the toughest still to have signed: Cushing/Browse (missing Fisher). I also added two different Alec Guinness/David Prowse photos and 7 new Alec Guinness signed photos. Also newly added are some great Hayden Christensen photos all of him as Anakin and signed in Hollywood while he was promoting the movie "Jumper".
Don't worry Metallica fans, more from the Four Horseman have been added including two great sets from 1986 and a single signed piece from Cliff Burton. I'm still adding daily, changing things and making sure everything flows smoothly.
I hope you enjoy viewing my collection.
