Do you have any autographed possesions ?

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

I have an autographed Cal Ripken Jr. baseball . What do you have ?

[enigmatic]

1. I've got a signed letter from Charles Bukowski

That I got from him a couple years before he died; it's one of my very prized possessions..

[youspeakmylanguage]

43. That will be priceless someday...

Charles Bukowski will remain a legend.

[RetroLounge]

53. Oooh, very nice

I corresponded with him and published a couple of Bukowski poems when I was an editor at a University Poetry Mag...

RL

[Duer 157099]

2. I got signed postcards from

Garry Trudeau, and one from Francois Truffaut. It was a "T" thing I had, I guess....

[NMMNG]

3. I have some autographed books

One by Robert Cormier (who wrote The Chocolate War, I am the Cheese etc.) and a few by Robert A. Salvatore (who writes fantasy novels). There might be another one, but I can't recall at the moment.

[tavalon]

4. I've got a book

autographed by the author, William Rivers Pitt. He spelled my name wrong.

I'm waiting for John Conyers to send an autographed copy of What Went Wrong in Ohio. I hear he had lots of takers so I'm not expecting it any time soon.

Oh, and when I came home yesterday, I found a book called Staying Afloat on my counter autographed by three DUers who had stayed at my place this weekend. Well, I think it was just one of them (same writing) and it really isn't a book written by any of them (so it stretches the idea of autograph) but it is a pretty cool book. I might have my next door neighbors autograph it as well since it turns out they were interviewed for it. I'm guessing the book was written before the repaint as there was no mention of the little pink atrocity next door.

Ah, but I babble. It is late.

[KitchenWitch]

A Jerry Jeff Walker autograph on a cocktail napkin. A Leon Russell autograph on a cocktail napkin.
And the best one I own, an original "Golden Ticket" from the Willy Wonka movie with a photograph of them on the set, signed by Gene Wilder and all of the kids in the movie. On the back are pictures of the kids as they looked grown up in 1998 when the pictures were taken and what part they played (you'd never recognize them now). I bought it for my daughter as a gift several years ago, she being the biggest Willy Wonka fan, ever. I'm sure I could sell it now that the "new" Wonka movie is out and fetch a fantastic price for it, but how many people have an actual "Golden Ticket" to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory? That will stay in the family forever.

[Seabiscuit]

I asked someone what the boxes were and they said it was trash. Anyhow, one of the boxes caught my eye as it was full of files. I started browsing through them and found out that this box had belonged to the head of publicity from the mid 1940's to early 1960's. It was full of notes and letters that he had received from Joan Crawford, Ed Sullivan, Jack Warner, to name a few.
