So .... with the closure of 2006 many things may have changed in your collecting habbits and preferences.
Which autographs are your all time favourites in your collection?
And have things changed for you? for example did you get pickier?
And what do you collect as of 2007?
Please add scans and the reason why.

Wow, picking only 5 of my favourites from my autograph collection sure ain't that easy. I'll give it a go though. 1.  Denis Lawson. Well, he refuse to sign Star warsz photos, and have done so far a long time now. Allthough I have two SW photos signed by Lawson this one has to be my favourite. 2.  Ian McDiarmid. Very rare signer, especially on Star wars photos. 3.  Peter Cushing. Deceased actor Cushing as Grand Moff Tarkin sure is one of my most valued autographs. I have 3, but picked this one for this list. 4.  Alec Guinness. People might have noticed that I am a big fan of photos signed by Sir Alec ;D This is prob my favourite. 5.  SUPRISE! A non-Star wars autograph on my top 5 list  Harrison Ford as Indy looks much better then my Ford on SW photo, so... There were a couple that almost made the list. Sebastian Shaw, Gregory Peck, Peter Boyle, George Lucas... But I'll stick with the list... I did get pickier towards the end of the year. I kinda focused on Star wars, Indiana Jones and horror autographs. That will prob be my main focus in this year aswell. |

1.  This is my all-time favourite sig in my collection. I got it at the premiere of "A History Of Violence" in Ghent last year. That was my first premiere ever, and a fantastic expierence. And this photo is personalised, and it's from the best trilogy of all-time! (sorry SW-fans!) 2.  Leading lady in my favoure movie: Kill Bill. Haven't got this one in person unfortunately, but it definitely is one of the best-looking pics in my collection. (except for the one above that is!) Hope to see her in real-life one day... Then she can sign a Pulp Fiction-pic!  3.  Hitchcock's most used actor. Starred in a whole lot of the man's movies. And he truly is a legend. Got this one through a great deal with Aurgelmir! And I'm proud to have this one in my collection. 4.  Everybody probably knows that LOST is my fave show. And my favourite character in the show is John Locke. So I truely am thrilled to have this personalised Locke-photo. And it's a TTM-success which didn't came from the LOST-set or an agency.  5.  The man who can resist B.A. Barracus is a FOOL! The A-Team rocks big-time, it was a part of my youth. Now, I only need George Peppard to complete the A-Team. Maybe in 2007... who knows. |

SW isn't a trilogy.......there are 6 movies.... |

Ok, here's my list: #1 Jean Reno  After trying for a long time, I finally was able to snag him TTM at a French Play.  #2 Leah Cairns  I'll admit that when I first wrote to her I wasn't really a huge fan of her character Racetrack, but when I got back her response, I became practically her #1 fan. She is the prime example among many others of the cast of BSG as to being so fan friendly through the way she responds (on the back of script pages) to your letters, and everything else. #3 Clive Owen  This was totally a shot in the dark for me, I had little expectations of this ever returning to me, but there it was when I came back from vacation this past summer. #4 Summer Glau & Alan Tudyk   The reason I bundled these two together was I had the opportunity to meet both of them in person at FX Show '06, and it was the best fan interaction I'd ever seen with anyone (especially when you compare it to the SW people  ) Meeting and interacting with both of them is something I'll never forget. #5Graham Beckel  He makes the list at #5 because he is the first person that I've truly had to do some detective work and research to just find an address for him, as he is no longer on BSG. His autograph was one of my proudest achievements because the hard work did pay off in the end. |

So .... with the closure of 2006 many things may have changed in your collecting habbits and preferences. Which autographs are your all time favourites in your collection? I have posted 2 lists above And have things changed for you? for example did you get pickier? Yes, I am semi-retired. I'll live by these rules now: -Just want personalised sigs (unless they are free) -I am NOT going to pay for sigs...unless: *they are personalised AND *fit into my 'most wanted' category (which isn't long) -The best sigs are the ones with a story attached to it (an encounter in which I was able to talk to the person for at least 15 minutes) and have a great quote. Quick scribbles with 1 question don't do the trick. And what do you collect as of 2007? Same as ever. |

Ok took a while as I was busy but after thinking it over these are my favourites:  Johnny Depp: one of my favourite actors. Got him IP at a premiere and he greeted me, smiled at me, answered my question etc... Great experience albeit short. Or in other words: he hot!  Robert Patrick: He was the T-1000. He rules. Period.  Famke Janssen: Xenia Onatopp made a big impression on me when I first saw Goldeneye when I was young lol. Like her a lot as a person and actress. Oh and I'm a huge X-Men fan as well (ever since the 90's cartoon).  Wes Craven: Scream was my favourite movie for a long time when I was 12 or somethig so sweet childhood memories (others had my little pony, mine was Scream ;D ). Met him at a convention and got a posed photo with him as well.   Paul Campbell and Nicky Clyne. I paired these two as I have interviewed them right behind each other and they were both very nice and sweet. Especially Paul Campbell surprised me because he's REALLY funny. Taking the p!ss out of everything including himself and the ugly outfits he wore on Battlestar Galactica lol. So had a nice one on one with them. Didn't make the list: Tom Cruise Jeff Goldblum Sir Ian McKellen Very nice peeps and appreciate their fans and take their time (when they have it) for you. |
