Kenny Baker SUCCESS

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.

You're right... OPX send in service is flawless. It wouldn't have gotten smudged. You can always trust them to do a good job!
- Dont send that to Carrie Fisher TTM.... she doesn't sign. Her TTM signature has been ghost/secretarial signed for well over a decade! You can get her at CVI though or many of the comic cons she attends.
- Anthony Daniels doesn't sign TTM either. He'll be at CVI also.
- Mark Hamill also hasn't signed authentically TTM in a long time. But he too also goes to a lot of comic cons. As of now he is not going to CVI.
- I won't say never on Harrison Ford b/c I just got 2 authentic TTM graphs from him back in May (see below). But there are only about 5 known authentic TTM successes from him in the past 15-20 years. OPX just did a signing with him for $500.00, but that wasn't a send in. If you can track him down IP he is a good signer as long as things stay calm.

Insanely jealous of your Fords. Yeah, I've purchased from OfficialPix before and they're top notch. I'll definitely be using them to add Daniels and Fisher at CVI – I've definitely versed myself in the TTM lore of Carrie Fisher/Debbie Reynolds. My fingers are crossed that Hamill will eventually be announced so I can just knock them all out in one go and only worry about Ford in the future (who will hopefully follow in the footsteps of Ian McDiarmid and do a send-in one day).

JMD, good to hear that you know that Carrie's mom signed her TTMs for the longest time!
So many people think her TTMs are legit!
Glad to see there is someone else on these boards that knows there stuff!
Looking forward to seeing the sigs you get added to the pic via CVI!

I try my best to keep up-to-date on my autographs, thanks! I definitely keep track of who's known to send out secretarials, who doesn't respond, etc. It makes things so much easier! Thanks, I'll try to get a picture of the final (or semi-final) product uploaded.
I'm kind of sort of a member on Rebelscum. I have a username (leialover229) and I've posted a few times, but for whatever reason I've been more of an observer than a participator. I've been meaning to start posting for a while; I know it's a great bunch of guys who are all enthusiastic about "Star Wars" and autographs like me!
