I think with Kenny it depends on his mood, I sent 2 10x8s a few months back and got them back unsigned, someone had wrote on my backing board Kenny no longer signs, yet 5 days later I see someone get 2 back off him????

you said you sent a long letter, 3 pages? but you didnt send your own photo right?

it seems everyone who sends there own photo gets it signed
i havnt seen anyone send just a letter since about 2007 including myself, and i did get a signed photo back

i think it was probs meant to be signed or pre signed and it wasnt
and the information on his website about not signing anymore has been up for years

his auto isnt worth a lot because he signs so many in person, hes a nice guy and will sign and sign, he goes to pretty much every convention he can and gladly meets fans

You can find his autographed photos on Official Pix (they have preorders if you can't attend Star Wars celebrations in person) and even on Warwick Davis' official autograph site, http://www.thesignatureshop.co.uk. Some of his photos are signed by both him and Kenny Baker, and Warwick will personalize them. Worth checking out, not too expensive at all.


Good for him!

He should have stopped signing for free a long time ago.

Shame on people for taking advantage of his kindness.

If you think Kenny Baker is a rich celebrity... You have lost your mind.

Any actors from the OT that are NOT named Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher are far from rich.


And by no means original poster was I including you in that free loader group... Sorry for that. It's the people that send like 4-8 items or more with their TTMs.

i do agree that he does sign a ton, and has been singing things that have been sent to him for free. it could be that he is getting ready for CE2 also. it is going to be the biggest celebration of what i have seen of past ones. i would try it again, cause he will probably sign it. i may try to send to him around august, cause then the fuss of celebration will be over with. good luck. {up}

@CHIgrapher, Someone who writes a letter and provides an item/self stamped envelope is not a freeloader. They are putting their time and money into it, and are just requesting a signature in return. If someone chooses to charge and someone wants to pay, fine, but its not freeloading to send TTM the correct way. I dont feel a celeb owes us anything and they have a right to do as they choose, but charging people that are 95%+ of the time lots less well off then you to write on a piece of paper/photo/index card, etc. outside of a convention is bogus. Its not freeloading to not want to pay a celeb who has lots more then you ever will generally upwards of 50+ sometimes for a signature, when you put lots of time into your request and are a genuine fan that has enjoyed/paid for much of their work in the past. Sorry to hear about Bakers health though, I always liked him.

@OP, Sorry for your failure.
