ARRGH!!! I've been internet-less at the house for over a week (changing providers) and today's been the first day I've had a chance to hop on @ work and say hello to everyone.
I've got some great successes/addresses waiting to put up on the site.
Drumroll please...
1) Ken Colley signed and kindly personalized two pics each w/a different quote and with Piett's name (I actually have this one up on my site but couldn't remember if I'd posted it here.)
2) Dermot Crowley signed and personalized two photos, including one previously signed by Caroline Blakiston.
3) I got an awesome response from Brian Blessed. Signed and personalized my Boss Nass and Prince Vultan (Flash Gordan) pics, included his own signed and personalized pic and wrote nice handwritten comments on my letter.
4) Got a wonderful handwritten letter back from Peter Sumner (Pol Treidum) who signed my pic "Bret, why aren't you at your post!?".
5) Non-Star Wars - but got a signed & personalized pic back from Tera Patrick (Google her, you'll thank me) and a great response from John Carpenter. He signed and personalized a "Halloween" 8x10 poster print to my gf, a "Big Trouble in Little China" 8x10 poster print to me, as well as included his own personalized pic to both of us. We also got signed & personalized photos back from Dick Van Dyke.
I did get one disappointment. I had a non-success for James Earl Jones. Care of one of his NY addresses (don't have it here at work) I got my photos back unsigned. On the plus size, both pics were previously signed by others so happy to have them back, but I was disappointed to not have them pan out. Guess I'll try another address.
I might have missed someone, but we'll see. I should be back up and running next Wednesday.
Happy Collecting!
Bret
