Re: [MOPO] AUTOGRAPHS ON POSTERS
Autographed posters are a very touchy subject. An autograph will reduce the value of a poster for any prospective buyer who does not collect autographs. This will become an even greater problem, when the autograph is personalized, like "to so and so" best wishes etc.. If you are not an autograph collector yourself, you are faced with another danger, that of buying a fake autographed poster, thus rendering it useless to the other segment of collectors.

Re: [MOPO] AUTOGRAPHS ON POSTERS
I have been trying for a long time to add a Sean Connery autograph to my collection. As a Bond collector this is something I really want. Mr. Connery no longer signs autographs and in the past I know that he has been a reluctant signer which I can understand. I bought one autographed picture one time and it was a really bad fake. Certificates of Authenticityare worthless.So anyway the only thing I feel comfortable with buying is a bank check (personal) or a document. All the Sean Connery signatures on e-bay are fakes. I have started liking personal checks which can be matted with a photograph. I wanted a Danny Kaye signature and secured a bank check from a man that worked for Danny. It look's great framed with a favorite still. I really like my Moe Howard check which I got from his daughter for a donation to City Of Hope. At my frame shop someone bought a small poster from "Unforgiven" and it was signed by Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Francis Fisher and Richard Harris. My framer said it's real since it had a certificate of authenticity. I did not have the heart to tell her that the poster was most likely a fake. That the certificates are worthless. --Tom Pennock P.S. I called People Magazine when they were offering autographed portraits for charity.I thought finally I have a real genuineSean Connery signature. But the lady at People Magazine said that he must be popular since theywere quickly sold out. I asked her how many photographs Mr. Connery had signed for charity.She said THREE!!!

[MOPO] FW: [MOPO] AUTOGRAPHS ON POSTERS
AUTOGRAPHS ON POSTERS Gentlemen: This is a very interesting topic. Here is an absolutely true story dealing with this subject. Movie posters as a collectible is a sideline business for me. What I am most noted for is finding and providing nearly anything on video. Early this year I received a phone call about finding a video title from a gentlemen who once several years ago bought a SINGLE vhs tape from me through an associate, probably a secretary (less than a $20 sale). Speaking in a non-direct manner as if he was trying not to reveal something, he explained that he was a Hollywood producer who had founded a company that wanted to distribute interesting action and horror films of the sixties and forward whose copy right had fallen away from the major studios and returned to the original film makers or their heirs. The abrupt arrival of DVD has created a second wave of rebirth to the Home Video industry with the power and financial rewards returning back to the studios or distributors and away from retailers and home video rental dealers. His call to me was about finding and buying up all available inventory anywhere I could find it, of vhs inventory of three films that he recently acquired the ownership of. This was to rid the market of potential future competition to his future DVD release. Also, to do away with any inferior edited prints, as he had found the original film negatives and original directors and planned a dvd release of the vision the director(s) had intended and not some slapdash version the studio had rushed to assemble for a quick sale. Since the three titles had gone out of print on video many years ago the number of units were calculated to be a finite though not insignificant number, so of course I was most interested in fulfilling his request, in the hope of building on our new relationship and to do more business with him in the future. After about nearly an hour of conversation, he must have became more comfortable with me and revealed that he was the son of one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. A MEGA star. Now, I cannot reveal any names, but I can say that aside from helping this gentleman with his business need, I also helped with a personal one too, as he was beside himself with what to give his parent as a birthday gift. I just so happened to have at the time a poster on linen of one of his parent's earliest films, and it was signed by both one of his parent's acting colleagues from the film and its director, who had passed away a couple of years ago. I gave the poster with autographs to my new friend as a present to give to his parent. He was overwhelmed with gratitude, couldn't believe I would give away something of so much obvious value. My new friend calls me often now, usually spending well over an hour or more on the phone, getting my opinion of what film titles my other customers are asking me about that are not currently on dvd. This past month he called me back with another request to find all video of another new film acquisition. So far this year, my total sales to my new friend have totaled over $25,000. Dennis G.

Re: [MOPO] AUTOGRAPHS ON POSTERS
I have a friend who is a huge Connery fan. He was desperate to get an autograph from Connery, who is indeed famous for not signing anything. My pal learned that Connery was filming THE ROCK in the Bay Area, and actually drove all night from San Diego to San Francisco to try to get Connery's autograph . He finally got to the Presido area, and somehow hooked up with Connery. Connery refused to sign. My friend then explained that he had just driven eight hours to get the signature. Connery sighed, grabbed the piece of paper, signed it, and gave it back to him, saying, in that famous voice, You've got to get a life, son. Greg Douglass Tom A.

Re: [MOPO] AUTOGRAPHS ON POSTERS
Greg: It's sad to read a story like that. I was thinking it would be awful to meet someone that you admire only to be given the brush off. I can understand that Mr. Connery get's tired of people. He has been bothered for years. Being famous has perks but also you have to deal with losing your privacy and fans. I think about Paul Newman and his wife Joanne Woodward. Neither will sign at all. Never have for the public. I think Steve Martin gives out printed cards that say "I Met Steve Martin". Maybe it's better to admire people from afar or not all all. I think about Donald Sutherland's famous line at the end of "Ordinary People". He said to Conrad (Timothy Hutton) "Don't admire people too much, they might disappoint you".

Re: [MOPO] AUTOGRAPHS ON POSTERS
Personally I don't like autographs on posters - I feel it's somehow defacing the poster. In fact, I've never seen the point of autographs unless one has got them personally. I have some signed CDs from bands I like, inscribed to me, and these I enjoy. But, even if the autograph is legit, having one obtained by someone else holds no appeal for me. Case in point - a collector friend has a Performance quad, signed by Nic Roeg for sale.

Re: [MOPO] AUTOGRAPHS ON POSTERS
Hello All, I have a very interesting story about an autograph from Bela Lugosi. I was visiting a friend of mine a few months ago and I noticed an 8"x10"BW portrait still hanging on a wall in the kitchen area. I had to look twice because I was not believeing what I saw. Turning to my friend I said "Isn't that Bela Lugosi"? He said yes and that it was giving to him by his father whom was working as a checker for Warner Brothers back in the 1940's when Bela did a stage show at the local Masonic Temple. My friend's father went back stage and introduced himself to Bela and as the conversation went on Bela invited him and his wife out for dinner where he was staying at the Cinderella Inn in Waterford, CT. Getting back to the still, Bela autographed the front and on the back his address: Box 69 South Grand Elsimore, CA and phone number: 2168. Thus, a new friendship begun. I guess you never know where something like that might show up.
