My awesome wife knows about my passion/obsession for autograph collecting. She gets a kick out of what i get, and is amused over how happy i am when i get something. So, for Christmas, she ordered me a signed photo of Frank Vincent, who was very prominent in the last couple seasons of the Sopranos(Phil Leotardo) and was also in Good Fellas. My project in 2011 is to fill all the holes in my Sopranos collection, and this was one of them! I had also got a few signed book plates TTM from one of my favorite authors Dennis Lehane several months ago, so she bought me a first edition of his new book Moonlight Mile, so i can use one of them in the book....AND she also got me a bunch of stamps and envelopes for my TTM collecting, and a copy of Autograph Hell, which is an excellent book about the pitfalls of autograph collecting. What a great wife to get me what i wanted for Christmas and to help feed my obsession! Did anybody else get any autographs or related stuff? I would be interested in hearing about it.

My gf's aunt gave me a sketch drawn and signed for her over 60 years ago by Terry and the Pirates creator Milton Caniff. Very special; one of my all-time best Christmas presents.

Hi!
I know I'm veeeery late but could you tell me how your wife got Dennis Lehane's autographs. The thing is, my best friend is turning 18 soon so I wanna make her birthday special. Dennis is her favourite author of all times! But I can't find his address anywhere :(
Could you give me a hand?
Thank you
