We're BAAAAAACK

Hello Autograph Seekers and Friends.


It has been a long time since I have posted due to some family and health issues, but I am back now and hope to start posting often.

This year, besides the TTM and In Person autographs, I am going to also do some Sports and Business Fan Packs.   I might even try for a few signed Playbills.

I have always loved this hobby and and glad to be back in a position I can start again.

This has already started off a bad year with celebrity deaths, after last year I was hoping it to be a little better.

First On January 16, 2017 we lost Dick Gautier, Mr Gautier was best known for playing Hymie, the Robot in the TV Series 'Get Smart.

Next on January 17 (and I know this one has nothing to do with autographs), but we lost Colo the Gorilla - she was the first gorilla to be born in captivity anywhere in the world and as the oldest known gorilla in the world. I remember this one since when I was a small boy I would go to the Columbus Zoo and watch the Gorilla's and saw her as I grew up.

We Lost Roberta Peters a great opera Star on the 18th.

We lost Miguel Ferrer son of Jose Ferrer and Rosemary Clooney on the 19th.  I loved him the little known Horror Flick 'Night Flyer'.

We lost the wonderful Mary Tyle Moore on the 25th, best know for 'The Dick Van Dyke Show' and 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show'.

On the 26th we lost Mike Connors, from TV's 'MANNIX'.

Let's hope that ends it for awhile, so many of my childhood icons are gone now, I don't want to loose more.

That is all for this post.  Next post will be my Successes this week and also a post about Fan Packs I have received.

Hope you have a full mailbox.  Best of luck in your collecting endeavors.

In-Person Autographs

Here are a couple of In-Person Autographs that I have in my collection.

1st is Janet Ann Gallow, Janet was the little girl in 'The Ghost of Frankenstein" (1942) which had Lon Chaney Jr. playing Frankenstein's Monster.  She was also in a few other roles including "It Ain't Hay" (1943) with Abbott & Costello.  I met Ms Gallow at a Monster Bash Convention, she was a very sweet and friendly lady.

Next is Beverly Garland, I met Ms Garland the first time at a Convention Virginia in 1999.  Ms Garland may be best known for her role in "My Three Sons" but she was also in "It Conquered The World" (1956), "Not of This Earth" (1957), "The Alligator People" (1959) with Lon Chaney Jr., and so many wonderful tv series and films.  Sadly she passed away December 5, 2008.  She was also a very friendly lady that seemed to love her fans.

Here is another In-Person Auto that I have, it is of Mr Bob Hastings. I had seen Mr Hastings many times at the Old Time Radio Convention in Ohio.  He is best remembered for his role as Lt. Carpenter in the original "McHale's Navy" Series, he was also the voice of Commissioner Gordon in the Batman Cartoons and many other small roles in films and tv and also voice work.  He was a very friendly man with a 'wacky' sence of humor.  Sadly he passed away on June 30, 2014 of cancer.  Shortly before he died I created a small montage of pics for him to sign, he like it and asked if I would send him some to his home, which I did (so if you happen to have a copy of this picture please let me know).

Well that is it for this post, I will be posting more as I can.  Hope you enjoy.

Introduction

Introduction

Hello and welcome to my Autograph Blog.  I will be listing the Autographs I currently get TTM (Thru-The Mail) and also IP (In-person) and some times purchase.

Let me introduce myself.  My name is Jess and I live in the middle of Ohio.  I have been collecting Autographs on and off since 1995.  I also have a website called www.classicscreams.com, this site is dedicated to the memory of Classic Horror Films and People (Please take a look when you have time.)

This blog will be used to show the autographs that I get either TTM, IP of purchase.  I will show the address for the TTM's when possible.  I collect mostly celebrity (TV and film related people) I like to collect classic horror and character actors the most, but I also like the television programs of the 60's and 70's.  I am a music fan and collect music people when possible also.  There will also be some sports people.  I will also show some of the autographs I have collected over the years.
