Can you stop posting loads of questions. This is a forum for posting recent bond autographs you have got. I suggest you go searching on the internet for addresses and wait and see if you get a reply, thats what everyone else does.
Constants I have to correct you. Today I got a letter back from Mrs Eaton´s agency that says that she no longer signs through the mail.
It also says that know I have the chance to buy it from bondstars. So another signer less...
That makes me a little bit sad.
I know Bondstars DO NOT tell the stars NOT to sign but the majority of them that have joined now choose to stop signing TTM as they think they might as well get money for their autographs via Bondstars, I think this is a real shame. I really appreciate those who do sign TTM as they supposrt their fans!!! I really don't see why a fan should pay for autographs - Stars should appreciate that if it wasn't for the fans in many cases they wouldn't be who they are now.
I know this doesnt apply to all stars!! Thats just my opinion though.
I thought I'd comment on the whole Bondstars scenario.
At least with the celebrities at Bondstars, you can be guaranteed on receiving an authentic autographed photo.
There are many other celebrities who have signed on with a "preprint" organisation, where if you write to them, you will only receive a preprinted autographed photo, because they could not be bothered with the whole process any more.
At least with Bondstars, you know where you can purchase inexpensive, authentic autographs.
That being said, there's still nothing better than receiving an authentic autographed photo TTM from your favourite celebrity, and it makes the process of searching for their address and writing to them all the better!
PS. Andy, I'll see you at Pinewood in June.

And your all forgetting one thing, artists stop signing whether or not they are with us..Connery..Dalton etc etc we are not the issue here, the issue is people get tired of being taken advantage of simple as that.
I have to agree with you Asio - I could, however, spend loads of cash at Bondstars - which sadly at present I don't have - I would go mad but it isn't as exciting as waiting for TTM.
Asio - I am also going to Pinewood in June for the Lazenby thing - should be excellent! Are you coming all the way from Australia or did I read that wrong??
Sarebear, yes you are correct in your assumption. I will be travelling from Melbourne to London via Kuala Lumpur a week before the event.
This will make it the third time I've visited London since 2001, (the last time was in August 2004). I'm also going up to Stonehenge on the Thursday, just as a filler (since I have already seen most of the tourist locations that London has to offer).
I'm looking forward to the tour of Pinewood and meeting George Lazenby and others! Are you going to be there for the whole day, or are you just attending the Q&A and dinner?
I wonder if any other AJB members are going to attend?

Dear friend,
I have thought for a very long time NOT to post this message,because you all seem to think so highly about precious BondStars.
It's very very annoying for me to see that people always say that they giving such a very good service.
But NOT to me!!!!Infact all they did was lying about the whole story that I'm going to tell you here.
I really think that it is about time,that people see and understand that you most not always believe what you hear or read.
Some people will say that this will be allso the case with my story,but I'm not trying to badmouth people if they don't deserve it!!!!
People who know me will confirm this,allthough it is a bad thing that I'm not be able to reach you all with this story,and that written words are just written words,allthough I hope that you out there will be allso read between the lines this time,thanks for that!!!!
Last August I order from BondStars Michael Billington's autograph,a thing I normally don't because it's against my policy to pay for an autograph,but sometimes you have to pay,otherewise you will not get the autographs that you want to have for your collection,luckly and I say it again;Most of the stars will keep on signing for free,if you know which road you have to walk,but anyway,I send the total amount of money in a registrated envelope to Bondstars.
A few days later they confirm me through email that they received the money,and that the Michael Bliington autograph was allready send out,so I thought this is really a good service!!!!
A week past,no autograph,two weeks past no autograph,and so on and on!!!!
Let me say that I UNDERSTAND that it is NOT Bondstars fault if things are getting lost in the mail,it's the way they tread me afterworths!!!
I send a couple of mails to Andy of Bondstars,and after a few mails he everytimes reply with saying that he had going to the Postoffice to start an investigation about my lost Michael Billington autograph.
So I thought I wait a few weeks before the Post will contact me about this,but you can guess it NO phonecall or any contact of that sort.
And why not???Because I find out myself that there NEVER EVER was an investigation about my lost autograph.Believe it or not but I phoned EVERY Postoffice nearby BondStars,and no-one did have a clue about any investigation or heard of it,so I was furious,not even for the fact that my autograph was lost,but that he lies to me all the way.
That they give you a CRAPPY service if you live outside the UK,and up untill this day I've never been called or mailed about anything,nor for any compensation for maybe a new Michael Billington autograph,NOTHING!!!NOT EVEN SORRY,FOR BEING A LIAR ANDY!!!!
Or:what a shame that your autograph has lost,this is what I mean from the reply I posted before,that if they have your money,they don't care about anything anymore,they just treat you like a nobody,and they think that they are the only people who have access to stars and autographs.
Afcourse Bondstars now will say that I'm the bad guy in this story by sending them offensive emails by trying to put some pressure on the investigation,when I ask him about that it tooks such a long time,this was after more then 5 months!!!!he replyed by saying that the Postoffice in England are very slow,and I quote:"Our Postoffices are not known for there speed,Obviously we cannot send out another Michael Billington autograph,untill this matter is resolved",Allready known then that there was NEVER!!!an investigation.
I really think that you people out there can imagine why I'm ticked off as I still am,because all they did to me was lying and NEVER EVER in the first place had the intention to help me out with anything,so please think twice before you buy with Bondstars is the only thing I can say,because they don't give a **** about anything then your money.
Further I knew from a few people who I have contact with through mail,that they allso had a run in with BondStars at conventions,so for ones,people out there who have something to say about this Precious English Autograph Company,speak up darlings,I can't hear you!!!
So for me not only a CRAP service,but Liars all the way,and then I put it mildly!!!Further I think that they are really should be ashame of themselves to tread a customer like they did,and that they didn't have the desent to work something out for me,only come up with a fake story about an investigation that never was!!!
What an ABSOLUTE JOKESERVICE and COMPANY they run.Further if you had no problems with this Company in the past because your transactions went smooth,think about what I tell you here and what about things are getting lost in the mail?
Bondstars doesn't or will have NOTHING to say about this matter or maybe they allso come up with another Crap story,but it allso can happen to you,
think about this for a moment!!!Further I'm feeling treaded like dirt,and therefore I couldn't not longer keep this for myself,so Andy,you ask me a few months back on this forum why not let everybody think what how you feel about us,so here you go!!!
Further I'm open for any discussion,and wish you all warmest wishes and happy collecting!!!
That is an awful long way to come but I see your fav Bond is George Lazenby so am not surprised (what with him being Australian). Were your last trips Bond related as well?
You should enjoy Stonehenge it's interesting but hopefully not as much as the tour round Pinewood. I am going for the whole day as well....... I would imagine that many other ajb members are going but I only know one other person (other than you) so far who is going. Not sure on numbers going anyway.
Clown-Andy - I am sorry to hear that you had such a Bad experience and that it was not resolved speedily.
BTW I recetly received purchases of Carmen de Sautoy, Sonny Caldinez, Rita Coolidge, Michael Kitchen, Gert Frobe, Sid Haig, Tina Turner, Shane Rimmer (Oh and TTMs from Claudine Auger, Janet Brown and Karen Allen of Indiana Jones fame)
Don't really use messaging but of course I remember you - the website was a big clue!
You have loads of different types of people on there. Are you going to Collectormania at the end of this month? I am really excited (sad huh?)and am hoping to get some Bond people - John Rhys Davies - as I got a refusal TTM - Lawrence Makaore and Alan Cumming. I also have started to collect Stargate autographs so REALLY want Michael Shanks and Corin Nemec (Also cos they are both very fanciable - hopefully in real life too!)
I see you have a Buffy section - lots of these will also be there......
Also I have just won an auction for Constantine Gregory (Aide to Metz in DAF and the Computer Store guy in Goldeneye) - Particularly happy as some of profit is going to charity!
Has anyone had a recent TTM success with Julian Glover. I have his autograph but not on a bond shot. I would like him to sign my photo that is also signed by lyn-holly Johnson! I know he's in Theatre - is he still signing TTM ?? Thanks
adam - I would rather get most people such as Laurence Makaore in person than TTM.......
I hope to get there early (traffic permitting) and if I can't get someone on Sat I will go on Sunday! I have been trying to save up - it is just after payday though so I could end up with no money left by the end of May!
Got a signed 40th anniversary Trading Card from Michael Billington (via Ebay) today - I have one for trade now! So if anybody is interested, just PM me!
Quoting sarebear:
I also have started to collect Stargate autographs
Sarah,
Couple of years ago I sent a request through the mail to the stargate sg1 set in the hope I could get an autograph. A while later I got back the photograph I sent with autographs from Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, Richard Dean Anderson, Micheal Shanks and Don S Davis! They stopped doing that a while ago I think though.
Just bought a book from ebay for £1.50 'The Little Book Of Bond - Classic James Bond Quotes'
Can't wait to get it !! Should make me laugh. Has anyone else got this book ??
