Collecting guest stars?

I've been collecting Cold Case guest stars for couple years and I was thinking is there anyone else who's collecting guest stars? If you're from what show and why? My reason is because I love Cold Case and there's so much to collect! There's like new cast in every episode :DD Right now I have maybe 40 or 50 autographs. And I don't collect only guest stars, I'm collecting the regular staff too.

I am trying to get as many guest stars as I can from "The Golden Girls." I have a good collection, so far. :) And it's because I'm a HUGE fan of the show!!! Lol.

Doctor Who, because almost every character actor in the UK has appeared at least once, so it's like a who's who of British theatre and film, plus even the episodes from the eighties which people remember as being, er, not terribly good, are actually - when you watch them again (especially with kids who don't have the 1980s style-baggage) - pretty-to-very good. Plus, the series is held in such high affection in the UK that the LOR practically writes itself :)

Seinfeld. I have the main cast on a poster (Seinfeld, Dreyfus, Richards, and Alexander) then I started another poster for guest stars and recurring cast members (Stephen Tobolowsky as "Tor", Richard Herd as "Mr. Wilhelm, Bruce Mahler as "Rabbi Glickman", Larry Hankin as the other "Kramer", James Hong as the "Chinese Restaurant Host", and Larry Thomas as "Soup Nazi"....so far). 8 x 10s of Marisa Tomei, Teri Hatcher, Rebecca Staub, and others I can't think of right now. Then an index card collection of quite a few more; Bryan Cranston, Jerry Stiller, John O'Hurley, Wayne Knight, Ian Abercrombie, Len Lesser, Mark Metcalf, and Patrick Warburton. There are so many great characters on that show that it is a fun chase that could take a lifetime.....and I've been told a lot of great Larry David stories!!

I've got a few of the 60s Batman guest villains (unfortunately, had to sell of some of the rarer ones due to finances) and a good number of the Batman Animated Series cast signed on trading cards I sent out.

Doctor Who is probably my biggest; I've got a 3-ring binder of just Who actors.

I am just now this week starting my guest stars from the Simpsons. I got about 30 pictures printed out so far. It's something that will really keep my interest since there is atleast 100 of them to try to get if not more. I think it's fun to try to get the guest stars of our favorite shows.

Me too!! It's my favourite show ever! {??} I've not been working on this for long though! I never thought of writing to guest stars after I got the four girls! :roll: Out of interest, who do you have so far? :D

I'm so jealous! I'll have to look some of these guys up! I wrote Sid Melton months ago and didn't hear back! He's one of my most wanted! I would love to have Herb Adelman who played Stan too but he's passed away! :(

Yeah, I wish I could have gotten Herb, too... :( Did you send Sid Melton something to sign and enclose return postage? I did, and got something back the 2nd time. :)
