My second success from the wonderful Kenny Baker! I never send pre-signed photos to untested addresses, so I held off on this one when I sent a few R2-D2 pics to Kenny last December. When I got those back safe and beautifully signed, I decided to go ahead on this one. I'm both glad and bummed that I sent this out a few days before it was announced he'd be attending Celebration VI; I'm always a fan of getting autographs for free rather than paying for them, but using a send-in service at Celebration would have probably avoided the smudging that happened on the photo (it looks like he signed with a silver paint pen and slid it into the envelope while it was still wet, since I can see silver "skid marks" on the inside of the envelope). Still, it's really not that bad, and I'm always very appreciative of people who are willing to sign for their fans TTM. Two down, four to go.
