Autograph Collecting,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカ 激安[/b][/url]
It's odd to think as a 12-year-old that many of my favorite actors and actresses had already passed away. There was no way to get Judy Garland to ever sign a photo for me. Clark Gable had been dead for years. I began a mission to write to stars and request their signature; some sent notes, others sent photos. My collection highlights include Bette Davis, Jimmy Stewart, Claudette Colbert, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. When stars did revivals,[url=http://discountduveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ 店舗[/b][/url], I wrote to them in care of the theater.
Of course today, people spend hours waiting outside restaurants or other venues, hoping that someone like Tom Cruise will sign something for them. Why bother?Professionalautograph seekersturn around and sell the autograph for hundreds of dollars. Autograph collecting should be more of a personal experience. This lens describes a little about my collection and how you can start your own!
Sadly, many of your favorites may have since passed away. If you're a fan of movies from the 1930s, there are very few of the major stars that are still with us.
But take heart, you can still collect their autographs from established and reputable dealers. Sometimes you can find an old scrapbook at a garage sale, and low and behold,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.halod.com/][b]ダウンジャケットduvetica[/b][/url], there are vintage signatures that the seller wasn't even aware of.
Here are some tips to collecting old hollywood star signatures,[url=http://duveticajacketsmenjp.albirank.net/][b]ダウンジャケットduvetica[/b][/url].
Find out if your favorite is still alive - search for them on the Internet. You can often find a mailing address, whether it is an agent or their personal home address.
Write a fan letter - A nicely worded handwritten note or card gets more response than a computer-generated mass letter requesting an autograph. Send a self-addressed stamped envelope and include something for them to sign,[url=http://discountduveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベチカ専売店[/b][/url]. You may not want to send anything too valuable though - you might not get it back.
Write a letter to an agent,[url=http://duveticajacketsshopjp.gengfl.com/][b]デュベチカ専売店[/b][/url], publicist or studio - you might get a signed photo, not as personal because it is usually mass-generated.
Attend book signings - When stars write their autobiography, they often have book signings. If they're really big, like Bill Clinton, you have to take a number and expect that the book will not be inscribed.
Internet searches - you can find a lot of smaller web sites devoted to autograph sales and collecting. Be wary of authenticity though, ask for a certificate of authenticity and know the value.
Auction - Christies and Sotheby's often do major entertainment memorabilia auctions. When they had the Marilyn Monroe and Katharine Hepburn estate sales in the past few years, many signed photos,[url=http://duveticajacketsoutletjp.albirank.net/][b]ダウンジャケットduvetica[/b][/url], scripts and other memorabilia were made available.
eBay -- Love eBay but again,[url=http://duveticajacketsmenonsalejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカ 店舗[/b][/url], be wary of authenticity of the signature and know who your dealing with. Many of the newer stars are marked up so high,[url=http://duveticaonline.halod.com/][b]ダウンジャケットduvetica[/b][/url], you can write to the star for a much cheaper price. The old stars are the ones that are usually not as attainable, so just keep checking to see what is available.
Antique shows - sometimes antique shows, especially the big ones, have an area of movie memorabilia. Dealers sell vintage autographed photos, you just to be sure they're for real.
In each envelope I would place two 3" x 5" index cards and a self-addressed stamped envelope. I remember writing to Fred Crane, an actor who played opposite George Reeves as the Tarleton Twins in Gone With the Wind. He wrote all over that index card. It was really thoughtful.
There was a class shown by these stars. You knew they were writing back to you themselves -- the handwriting was often scrawling, like someone aged. The only time I did not receive an authentic signature was when William Powell sent back one card -- it was ink stamped with his signature. I knew at that time that he was over 90 years old, it was fine!
So many have since passed away,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.gengfl.com/][b]デュベティカ 店舗[/b][/url], it's very sad. On the other hand, it's neat that I have a small piece of them.
And there's a big difference between someone like Jean Harlow signing a photo and her mother, who practically signed every "authentic" signature of hers out there. Experts in authentication look at how an "s" is curved or how wide the signature runs, they look at curly-q's and flourishes and often times the signature is a mess. If it's too carefully written,[url=http://duveticajacketsmenonsalejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], it was probably signed by someone on the stars' staff.
For the pros, they can distinguish facsimilies, rubber-stamped signatures, secretarial signatures,[url=http://duveticacoats.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ 店舗[/b][/url], autopen and of course, forgeries. In some cases, you probably can too.
I once ran into Bob Hope at LAX. He was gracious when he signed my scrap of paper, but for the life of me, you would never recognize it as reading, "Bob Hope." In-person signatures are the most authentic, because you know that person is right in front of you. Hard to come by when the person you're seeking is no longer with us. So you must rely on dealers who are not on a scam, who get their signatures from good sources, and know what the value is.
Sometimes I can't believe that I paid good money for Walt Disney's signature 20 years ago. But,[url=http://duveticaonline.halod.com/][b]デュベティカ ダウンジャケット[/b][/url], in retrospect, that signature,[url=http://duveticatrenchcoat.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ専売店[/b][/url], now framed and not going anywhere, has increased in value substantially.
My signatures,[url=http://duveticaonline.halod.com/][b]ダウンジャケットレディース[/b][/url], which are mostly inscribed to me, are worth something to me personally. The ones that are not inscribed, are quite valuable.
When a star passes away, all of a sudden, anything related to them goes up in value on eBay. I've been collecting memorabilia on June Allyson for years. She passed away in July 2006, and all of a sudden a magazine she graced the cover of is priced $20 higher than usually the case.
Of course, the knowledge that that person will never again sign another autograph makes things even more in demand. Autographs by stars who had short lives but continue to target new audiences like Marilyn Monroe and James Dean are highly coveted. The value of their signature is in the thousands at times.
There are many books available giving monetary value of signatures. Sometimes a signed poster or photo is better than a scrapbook or informal signature on a piece of paper. I had Ginger Rogers sign her biography many years ago. She was at a book store, came in waving from her wheelchair, was a little out of it. A little sad, but I cherish the book.
