Got a very special reply today - I wrote to Geoffrey Cheshire (he was Toussaint in OHMSS) and received my pictures back unsigned with a letter from his wife: he said that she was sorry that she mus return the pictures unsigned as her husband has passed away in October 2004!
Too sad, but I still got his autograph: she cut out two signatures from other documents and added them, what a nice lady!
That's really sad news about Geoffrey Cheshire. I got a few signed photos from him last summer. Really nice guy. Really sorry to hear the news. Thanks for letting everyone know autographarea
Got only one success today - photo and letter of Richard Vernon from e-Bay
8x10 colour of Sid Haig this morning - in character from DAF. Courtesy of Markusnauman on e-bay! Thanks Markus. Don't normally go fo colour, but needs must!
Not sure if this has been brought up b4, but does anyone know of any credible autograph sellers on ebay? Reason i'm asking is that I see alot of Bond Actors auto on there, and wouldn't want to purchase a fakie.

You can't go wrong with bondstars.com
very reliable and honest.
there are a few reliable e-bay sellers - Bondstars.com, as Mark pointed out, Bondcollectibles, asignofthetimes (not a specialist, but sells a number of authentic items). Markusbrandes is also good (again - not a specialist), markusnauman, anyaamasova also good.....bondforever and markhoneyball (both are mine and are good - but I would say that - I'm not a dealer though - I just sell suplus from my collection). Hope this helps - there are more - but you do need to careful - I would estimate 80-90% of the main character autographs to be fake on e-bay.
very good day for the collection today - package of photos back from Constantine Gregory (the computer shop owner in Moscow in Goldeneye). Got a long letter from him aswell. Got 4 8x10's and 5 6x4's in BW. Have some of the 6x4's for trade if anyone is interested.
Hi, I've been watching these posts for a while now and there are a lot of heated discussions going on about Autographs and buying/selling.
I myself buy most of my Autographs as I don't have the time to find addresses and send photos out to places where its not even sure if they'll come back, some people here seem to have a lot of luck and well done, it takes time and effort to get autographs through the post and if people are sending a few items and trading what they have extra that is fine by me. Although I do understand the stars signing for money, why should someone make lots of money with autographs when they sign them for nothing? and the ones that don't charge, OK , but like someone also mentioned, its a bit wrong to get 5-6 things signed just to make a quick buck.
A lot of the older Bond autographs are Very rare as the person has deceased and there is no other way of obtaining these unless you buy them, I always cross check signatures if I'm not buying from a renowned dealer and must say that if anyone is buying Connery autographs on ebay then good luck!!!! It is really true that 99% are fakes, some are so bad it makes me cringe. I have an extensive collection now of Autographs (Rarities like Harald Sakata, Nik Nak, Daniela Bianchi and of course the "Bonds" ) and Original props ( an Original Goldeneye Activation key, 8 made, eon have kept 2 , An original script from bond XX, Original Q boat screen, Original storyboards etc etc etc) I must have spent nearly 3000 pounds on everything up to now, although the collection is probably worth 3-4 times as much ( 1 of the 6 other goldeneye keys went at sothebys last year for 2500 US dollars)
Anyway all I wanted to say is that buying items doesn't make anyone more or less a bond fan, some people have time and some have money!!!
I am looking for a couple of things for trade myself, 8x10s of the following, Britt Ekland, Master toddy, yaphet kotto, I have 2 x gerd frobe for trade and a couple of other things, mail me at matrix222@web.de
Quoting james _bond_ fan:
i don't know whether any male members can remember Tracey Dixon who was a glamour model and page 3 girl ?? Well she is my best friend's godmother! Does anyone know if she played a small part in any bond film as my friend is convinced she did??
greatful for any info
She did appear in the films. She was the major stunt double for Tanya Roberts!!! She was also in Octopussy - will find more info via herself
haha she must be the most hated bond girl ever. When stacey walks up the steps of the mansion and opens her window, then closes it - it was tracey as tanya couldnt make it to shooting. Also the final sequence where bond is in the shower with stacey that is also tracey NOT tanya roberts !!!!
she did loads for tanya roberts as tracy says shenever turned up for shooting ?? who knows! Tracy did the distance shots - she went down the fire ladder over a stunt mans shoulder, she was in the shower with a stuntman (final end scene) she onlt did the full view shot of the shower, they didnt use roger moore for this cos his shadow was too thin and they didnt want a skinny bond! She also did the scene just before the intruders at her home. She walks up the steps and opens the central window and opens the curtains. Also she did some small scenes in the Mine shaft !!
