Jim Davis - Garfield Signed Note and Card

In 1998, my daughter sent Jim Davis a letter, requesting an autograph. He sent her a nice signed note on Garfield stationary and 3 Garfield autographed cards.






Jim Davis is very generous with his autographs. He has signed via email. If interested in giving this easy avenue a try, here is his website:

Mel Blanc Autograph and Business Cards

Mel Blanc was born Melvin Jerome Blanc on May 30,1908. He became famous as a voice actor and comedian. Blanc is best known for his work at Warner Brothers and Hanna-Barbera Productions. He was the voice of many of America's favorite cartoon characters. Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sylvester the Cat, Tweety Bird, Porky Pig, Wile E. Coyote, Foghorn Leghorn, Yosemite Sam, Elmer Fudd, Barney Rubble, Dino the Dinosaur, Woody Woodpecker and Mr. Spacely are just a few of the characters that Blanc gave voice. He was aptly nicknamed "The Man of a Thousand Voices.”

I also have a Mel Blanc calling card and a business card in my collection:

Colin Powell Autographed Newsweek

Sunday, Colin Powell, who at one time was considered a possible presidential candidate, threw his friend of 25 years, John McCain, under the bus. Powell on "Meet the Press": "I think he is a transformational figure, he is a new generation coming onto the world stage, onto the American stage, and for that reason I'll be voting for Sen. Barack Obama."

Powell expressed concern that the Republican Part has "moved more to the right than I would like to see it." He also expressed his doubt that Sarah Palin had the necessary qualifications to become vice-president.

Powell was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm in 1991 and 1992. He served as George W. Bush's Secretary of State from 2001 to 2005.

In 1997, while Powell was not engaged in government service, I sent an index card to his home address which he returned with a signature. A little later, I sent him this copy of Newsweek which he signed:

Clayton Moore - TV's Lone Ranger Was Always a Responsive Signer

Clayton Moore always appreciated those who took the time to return an authentic autograph to those who took the time to write him. In the late 1990's, I sent Clayton Moore an original arcade card and a vintage comic. He returned them both signed with a authentic autographs. Moore was always responsive to those who took the time to write.



Ringo Starr Says No More Autographs

Ringo's a little grouchy lately. He says he won't be signing any more autographs through the mail, and anything sent to him after October 20th will be trashed. From a video on his website:

"This is a serious message to anyone watching my message right now, peace and love! Please after the 20th October do not send fan mail to any address that you have, nothing will be signed. I'm warning you with peace and love I have too much to do. No more fan mail and no objects to be signed. Nothing."

Ringo issued an apology for his attitude on October 20th, but he's still not signing.

In July 1996, I sent an index card to Ringo's home address and it was returned with a signature. I filed it away in one of my albums, sometimes coming across it and always wondering if a member of the legendary Beatles had actually took the time time to sign it. Guess he did.

Wish I had sent a CD.
