007 Autograph Collector - here are my latest Bond autograph images - hope you enjoy the Sakata one signed under his name of Tosh Togo whilst wrestling.
There is also a particularly rare Paul McCartney, up there with one of the rarest Bond autographs you can get in today's market.
You're building quite a collection, there! My favourite are McCartney and Sakata, without a shadow of a doubt. I'm building an autograph emporium as it is something I want to do full time, one day. Get out of my rubbish job I do now.
Sure its money but they don't have treat you like rubbish. Not me, I'm afraid!
Saw one of Robert Shaw at 007 Autograph Magazine which would be nice as he is rare and also found a signed Lotte Lenya as well - she'd be good to add, too, but all in good time.
I've ordered non-related Bond autographs just tonight and at present, am building a diverse collection. Its a hobby I find fascinating.
Hope to get some more Bond autos soon, hopefully for xmas!
In the meantime, happy collecting. Perhaps you could add some autograph scans 007_AutographCollector as I'd be intrigued to see your autographs.
She is one of these names that remains 'forgotten' certainly in the Bond world, but to the 'Carry On' fan such as yourself she would naturally be more remembered.
Don't have many signatures to shout about but do have my QoS limited edition Planet Ocean papers signed by Barbara Broccoli as well as one of the poster books too.
Is anyone here going to the Bondstars Christmas Party this month?
I've had a look at your ebay listings and some of the items you sell are cheap to say the least, in terms of price, that is. I mean, not being an expert myself, but Harrison Ford at the price you've quoted is very generous.
Fords go in this day and age for possibly four times that price - if not more. I've just ordered a real Ford autograph from a private signing and it cost me mega bucks but to have an authentic Ford is something I'm very happy about.
Its almost like saying selling a Sakata for £50. My Sakata one, signed under his Tosh Togo signature I wouldn't sell for anything less than £500 since his signature is very rare, possibly more so under the 'Tosh Togo' mould.
I would never dream myself of selling on Ebay because I want to build a collection which may gather momentum one day.
Anyways good luck with the auctioning! I am a collector as you know myself and would love to post my collection online.
Many thanks again for your kind words! In all truth, its difficult to sell anything these days! I paid half for that Harrison Ford a while back and I have a lovely one here at home with an early signature so this was just an extra I had.
Ebay is a minefield but if you know what your looking for, you can come up with such bargains. I have 2 Harold Sakata's, one on an album page and the other is an 8x10 vintage from Dimensions 5 which I paid £65 yes £65!! It is worth more like £350. Also the Milton Reid I got yesterday, I paid £22 for it and its worth well over £100. The problem is finding the right buyer for items, its a big difference between selling an item for what its worth in comparison to what someone is prepared to pay for it. I am trying to be in the middle!
My collection is getting so large now that the hard to find names are a lot of money and seldom appear, which is why I am selling ones I have several off so I can afford to pay for rarer ones
Thanks again and I too eventually will have my collection online, its just finding the time but stay tuned and hopefully in the next decade or so I will have it done! ) -{
I totally agree but I still do the hobby because I love the siggies - hope to pass my collection down to a deserving cause one day.
Got a Ford on the way from Official Pix.
One of my most treasured autos is the one of Tosh Togo/Harold Sakata - that must be worth its weight in gold, especially if it is highly desirable by Bond collectors but I would never sell it as it is one of my favourite pieces and I would never sell the item.
I think with the Sakatas you will make a lot of money off of those and I'd buy a Sakata off you if not to have both the Tosh Togo and the Sakata autograph but I'm happy with the one I have at the moment.
In all honesty, I was lucky enough to come across a Sakata and I went in straight away for it as it was probably the closest I was ever going to come to getting a Sakata.
Good luck with ebay though if you want a friendly piece of advice, I do think you're missing the trick because you can potentially make a goldmine out of what you have, especially the Sakatas and the Fords (Ford signatures as I'm sure you are aware are very rare - early signatures may go for even more if they are scarcer - not sure but you might want to check it out. Also, if you sell things which some people consider to be underpriced, it might make people suspicious despite what you sell is genuine if you get my drift.)
As you say, its such a minefield out there - good luck with the selling!!!! At least we can say we have the Sakata autograph which is the Holy Grail of Bond collecting, bar a very few.
Got my photos back signed by the lady who was the horse mistress and trainer in Goldfinger! Never signed anything for anyone before so I am very honored to have her in my collection
Your collection will turn into a goldmine one day!
I've always obtained Ron Rich's autograph with great ease (and believe I am one of the first to have his), he's a good guy for signing & pretty quickly at that too!
A new one now, a very rare Neil Cunningham courtsey of 007_AutographCollector, well pleased with it - cheers! -{

Well done on all your recent autograph successes.

Enjoy!

Only ever seen one other autograph of hers!

Whether it'd happen is another matter.
If your interested in seeing my list inbox me your email address and I'll send you a list.

Gav
Yes I will be there. Ticket no's 2 & 3! I went last year and enjoyed it so much that I had to go again! Have you been before?
Gav
:-)
Yes a great opportunity. The tour is great too.
Yeah hopefully the weather will be good. Last year it was raining and a bit muddy. Still didn't detract from how good it was tho.
Karen Loughlin was a Zorin Party Guest in A View to a Kill...not Octopussy
I'm not sure exactly how rare Francoise is, as I haven't seen another autograph of hers so I'm presuming she is pretty scarce.
Fords go in this day and age for possibly four times that price - if not more. I've just ordered a real Ford autograph from a private signing and it cost me mega bucks but to have an authentic Ford is something I'm very happy about.
