Famous Autographs

[jd_1984]

That picture of the boy with the moobs getting an autograph made me think - who has the most famous autograph in their possession?

Mine is from Peter Kay (bit crap)
However, a friend has a framed picture of Muhammed Ali, signed by the man himself he got it for several hundreds of pounds at an auction a while back.....

Some colleagues of mine met an uber famous man on a job, he gave them as much tea as they could drink (made by himself) and offered them a bottle of whiskey each as a thank you. (They did decline though, idiots!!)

Another mate of mine went to a supermodel who was having abdo pain. He didn't recognise her at first, and when it was pointed out who she was, he realised that photo-shop had a lot to answer for.

My uncle has John Lennon and Paul McArtney on a napkin signed in the Cavern Club. It is a bit frayed and worn now but you can still make the signatures out.

[SIRandyraven]

Peter Ustinov - Spooky one that - I bid on e-bay and won it the day he died ...whoo
David Suchet - Poirot
Angela Brigid Lansbury - Murder she Wrote
Sid James - Bless This House and Carry on fame
John Barrowman - Humm yes - This was for the wife
Mick Hucknall - Simple Red - Got this in person

Beatles signed anything is worth a few quid.
However beware of imitations...the manager used to sign for them

[bobjugs12]

I forgot to add, they both had 'autographs' on the Patient Report Forms

[jd_1984]

He was the one who had it signed when he was a lad and saw them live, see no reason for him to make the story up... worth a bit hey?

I have the Beatles, from when they came to York in 1963 and Billy Fury's.

[SIRandyraven]

Craft - Full set of Beatles autographs are worth a lot of money.
However you need to have them verified , if you did not see them sign in person.
Other people used to sign for them ...

Harry Houdini , that is the Holly Grail of Autographs ....

[SIRandyraven]

Mamy ...Bette Davies ....You interested in selling that ?

[SIRandyraven]

Is the Bette Davie autograph a signed picture ?
Would be worth about £100 trade or £130 retail

[babetti]

I have Terry Nutkins and the Chuckle Bothers

[jd_1984]

babetti wins hands down!
