Autographs and Signature collecting

I have a few from early 70's era Dallas Cowboys on 5 x 8 pictures

Bob Lilly
Renfro
Staubach
Andre

I friend and I each bought a copy of the sniper book of Hathcock's. Somehow, my friend ended up with the one having Hatchcocks' signature.

I wish I had a signature on my Jordan book.

BTW,....to Inspector 71.....I don't think many here know who Jeremy is.

I have a registered numbered on the back official white house photo of Richard Nixon. Its autographed by Nixon to a secret serviceman. Its about a 6" by 8" black and white. My aunt owned a cafe and a old ma and pa filling station about a mile from his San Clemente compound. When he resigned two secret servicemen "claimed" they retired at the same time and rented the filling station from her and opened a flower shop. Corney, huh? Some time later than left it a mess and I helped her clean it up and found the picture on the floor.
Wonder what that would bring?

I dont know what Nixons signature is worth but--Presidential signatures are expensive--unless you get one signed by an assistant or by auto pen? Yours being hand-signed--is the best example and highly sought after.

The current guy in office mainly uses an auto pen--so not as much value as hand-signed. Ill trade you 10 of his for one of yours. :D
 
I gave away many but still have a few like: Adolf Galland, Erich Hartmann (x2) several other RKTs. Among my favorites are those signed by Dutch Van Kirk and BGen David Lee "Tex"Hill, and three other Flying Tigers. My absolute favorites are all signed by Colonel Joseph Gordon Clemmens Jr (Hero of Pork Chop Hill) He signed a complete set of PCH lobby cards for mae--and some other stuff.

I have John Doucettes signature on an original poster from the movie: Fixed Bayonets. Ernest Borgnines sig on a pic of he and Lee Marvin in: The Dirty Dozen, a double signed photo from: None But the Brave-signed by Clint Walker and Brad Dexter. And I have some others.

I have Uncle Dave Macon and "the skillet lickers." They were playing the Louisiana Hayride years ago.
 
I have an autographed copy of River of Fire by Acoustic Eidolon.

I had an Autographed copy of All Of My Friends Are Dying by Ray Comfort

and an Autographed copy of Gorilla Show by Mae Noel.

And I'm going to guess that no one in this thread has heard of any of them
 
I have never been an autograph collector but I did get Wayne Gretzky to sign a card and got a hand signed reply to a letter to G.W. Bush about a year after he left office. Also have a couple signed CD's from Pat Donohue and Mike Dowling.

You like those two pickers:), I wonder why.:cool:
 
Was driving a limo for the Palace theater in Myrtle Beach for a while taking the performers to and from the theater. People would always hang around the limo hoping to get a autograph, sometimes they would ask for my autograph. I would laugh and tell them I was a nobody. If they insisted I would sign to just get rid of them. I wonder now is they saved them if they say who the hell is this guy.
 
I met several famous folks... but only got two autographs. The real Buford Pusser (from "Walking Tall" fame)... and Willie Mosconi (the pool player), who signed an eight-ball for me with a white magic marker.
 
Several years ago my wife was taking my aunt into Boston for cancer treatment and she and my youngest son who was about three at the time, he was running up and down the hall, when some guy picked him up, when my wife saw this she got up and ran down, the guy was John Wayne, she didn't even ask him for a autograph. Another time also in Boston, we went to Jimmy's Harbor Side for dinner, I went into the men's room and while standing at the urinal, Yaz was standing beside me, I asked for his autograph, (I haven't washed it since:D) he pulled out a baseball card and signed it, another time I was in a smoke shop and Louie Tiant was in there buying his Cuban's, he also signed one of his card's for me.
 
I was upstairs at the lounge at Autozone Park, Memphis' Triple A baseball stadium because they had something going on called legend's night. There were a bunch of fifties and sixties baseball players that were going to show up and sign autographs. When I got there all the tables were full and the only seat open was at the bar. Got up there and ordered a beer, started talking to this older gentleman to my left, real friendly guy. Said he lived in Panama City Beach which I know real well because in my younger days I played in little podunk golf tournaments up and down the Gulf Coast. We talked golf and a few other things for a while, like I said, very friendly. When it came time to get autographs I turned around to get up and there was a line of people 20 deep trying to get this guy's autograph. Turned out I had been talking to Bill Mazeroski the Hall of Fame second baseman. This guy hit arguably the biggest home run in baseball history. He was there the next year and saw me. Asked how the golf game was. I was quite flattered he remembered me. I asked him if he could still run for mayor of Pittsburgh and win. "Damn right I could", he replied.

I forgot all about my "accidental" autograph. Back in the 90s here in D.C area there was a guy on FM radio called "The Greaseman." He did a show from 6am to 10am. Kinda of a shock jock type. He would have a small group of people come in to the studio and watch the show once a week. He also had John Riggins come in to do a sports spot every day. So me and the wife go down to the station one morning to see the show and I decide to take my old Sports Illustrated from Super Bowl XVII with Riggo on the cover running over the Miami Dolphins. He was named MVP for the game. So around 9am Riggo literally stumbles in and I can't tell if he's just hung over or still loaded. And he aint' in a good mood. I go out in the hallway with the SI and a pen to ask him to sign it. He comes out and I thought he was going to hit me. Then, he sees the SI and says, "Where the hell did you get that?" He cracks a big smile and signs it and it now is framed and hanging in the living room.
 
While I have a few autographed books and CDs from some of the writers and musicians, and photos of one or two actors and astronauts I've met and chatted with over the years, none really compare to a ship's document I inherited with both Jefferson's and Madison's signatures as President and VP.

Unfortunately, it was matted and framed incorrectly, and displayed in a brightly lit area for many years before I received it, so the signatures are somewhat faded now. :(
