Hey all! ;-)

Thanks for all the comments. :) It is interesting to read everyone's different opinions about the 10 best and worst. I think it's quite difficult to put a list like this together, as it depends on what mood you meet someone, for example lalyil found Megan Fox rude but on this list she's at #10 (I've also heard she can be rude sometimes). :neutral: And the same for Gwyneth, Tom and Adam who were nice again. I think I'll go with the opinions of our Fanmail.biz in person collectors! :mrgreen:

Thanks,
zanne

[quote="patrick89"]This list is dead on and I applaud the people who put it together..The worst signer list is very accurate..I've been getting IP autographs for about a year now and John C. Reilly is the worst he is number one on my list..I've also had encounters with Will Ferrell William Shatner and Steve Carrell, they NEVER signed for me. The only person I am not sure about with on the list is Adam Sandler, I've heard he has gotten better. Brooke Shields is also usually a horror..she recently started signing because her show is about to get cancelled.

I compiled a list of the best and worst signers I've come across..my best is completely different from the original list but thats only because I've only met Mark Wahlberg.

The 10 Best Signers

01- Kiefer Sutherland
02- Kate Walsh
03- Will Smith
04- Penelope Cruz
05- Kim Kardashian
06- Mark Wahlberg
07- Miley Cyrus
08- Ben Stiller
09- David Duchovony
10- Kristin Davis

The 10 Worst Signers

01- John C. Reily
02- Jimmy Buffet
03- Will Ferrell
04- Steve Carell
05- William Shatner
06- Monique Coleman
07- Ted Turner
08- Tyrese
09- Anna Faris
10- Brooke Shields[/quote]

wow youve met some awsome people dude im not surprised about anyone on your nice list but it suprises me a little that steve carell is rude he seems like a downright awsome guy and even ted turner will ferell suprises me also.

and im really suprised tom hanks is rude he seems like such a wonderfull guy.

also i know shes not a huge star or nothing but you guys really should give chelsea staub some credit she is such a sweet-heart ive never had a celeb be so kind to me(even thou that is ttm also).

also when you guys do sports only jeremy roenick really really should be on the list same with bob feller probally the two nicest guys i ever met, same with luc robitaille he was super nice.

btw heres my top 10 (ip and ttm combined)
1. chelsea staub-no celebrity would do what shes done for me(chelsea fealt bad about loosing my letter i sent so she, instead of telling me to send another letter, paid for postage and sent me 2 signed pics and even apoligized numerous times about loosing my letter, i dont know why she apoligized,because what she did makes me like her even more then i did before. i talked to her on mypsace btw)
2.jeremy roenick- the nicest guy i ever met(my dads camera wasnt working and the guy running the signing was rushing him ,and j.r said hey dont worry im not going nowhere and while we waited for the camera to start working he started a conversation with me and hes still smiling in the picture even after waiting for the camera to get working)
3. bob feller(met him twice and both times he was such a gentlemen he was joking around with me and my dad. he told baseball stories to us and even told me son stay in school)
4.mookie wilson(another gentlemen, he was signing everything i had on me and even offered to sign my jersey even thou at the signing it was supposed to be one signed item per person)
5.fergie jenkins(wonderfull man loved my long hair and joked with me because hes bald and on my photo he wrote to anthony peace( a hippie reference lol)
6. mike piazza my all time idol was super nice i met him before a baseball game a year and a half ago and he did the classy things made sure to sign for all the kids wanting his auto signed my baseball and jokingly dropped my pen.
7.monte irvin-wonderfull wonderfull man poor guy is in in a wheelchair now and he was still wonderfull to me talked to me and took a picture with me and shook my hand. i fealt so bad for him thou.
8.robin roberts older gentlemen also like alot of the guys on this list but none the less wonderfull to me
9.lucky luc robitaille made a comment about my farve jersey and wrote on the picture to me to anthony your freind luc robitaille.
10. alex trebek got his auto ttm but none the less a super nice guy he signed super fast even thou it was a month after his heart attack& he signed my letter for me also.

worst ive only had 2 really bad encounters
1. gaylord perry didnt wanna sign a second autograph until my dad asked him nicely please mr.perry its for my son he was quite rude to others not just me thou(btw even thou it was one autograph per person two autographs is ok because one for me one for my dad 2 people=2 autos.
2. luis tiant didnt wanna personalize my picture until same thing my dad asked nicely
3.ron darling thou he politely turned down my autograph request i still cannot look at him the same.

Autograph Magazine has the reasons for their lists in this article if anyone wants to check it out- http://www.autographmagazine.com/tabid/73/itemid/287/10-Best-and-10-Worst-Hollywood-Signers.aspx

I got Rosario Dawson a few weeks ago, she is extremely nice. She signs, takes pics, and talks with each person. Definitely one of the best signers. John Travolta also signs for everyone, but he has a crappy autograph. Also a nice guy. Adam Sandler should not be on the worst list as #8, there is no way he is ahead of Nicole Kidman in terms of "Worst autograph signer." I got Adam Sandler at the hotel a few weeks ago and he was really nice.

A couple good signers that should be on the list are:
Will Smith- signs and talks with fans, not a bad autograph for an A-list actor
Tom Cruise- One of the nicest celebrities around. Talks to fans and can easily get multiples when he signs. Only downside is his security guys.

I met some of the people in both lists and those I left up there just shouldn't be where they are!

Megan Fox is not a bad signer but she's simply rude..
Gwyneth, Tom Hanks and Adam Sandler were all extremely nice when I met them. Adam especially. Really doesn't deserve to be on this list, I don't think he really refuses people.

[quote="michaelj"]Would anyone hear be willing to take a stab at the best/worst TTM signers?[/quote]

"Best" wont get listed as it leaves them open to abuse from dealers and people who just want an auto to boost their collection whether they're a fan or not.

"Worst" is easy, just look at the autopen/secretarial/preprint lists.

Would anyone hear be willing to take a stab at the best/worst TTM signers?

Interesting list.
I'm surprised to see no Johnny on the list. Maybe he'll be back as #1 in 2009! :mrgreen:

[quote="RYAN J."]WHAT??? Matt Damon is listed at #3 and Martin Sheen & Mark Wahlberg are like #6 - #7?? Matt Damon Doesn't even sign TTM (Which I unfortunately found out after waiting like months)
And Mark and Martin are super fast at replying too. :?

Weird List. {down}

Its an IP list not TTM as has been mentioned ;-)

To be honest with you, I think this list was put together solely on in person successes..

TTM is not the same anymore..most of them are signed by assistants and the best way to get celebs is via venue or of course IP
