The Stan Lee autographed biography thread made me think...what sort of cool autographed stuff does everyone have?  And what's the story behind it?  Let's not limit this to comic book related memorabilia...sports, celebrities, former presidents...whatever.  Let's not make this a duplicate of the "new art" thread by posting images of your artwork that is signed by the artist. 

So here's my first one to get the ball rolling (which I also posted in the Stan Lee thread).  These are framed and hang directly above my computer monitor:

These three comics were signed by Stan Lee in Springfield, OH in 2006 when he came to give a talk for the Springfield library.  They are Thor 385 (sentimental favorite from my childhood, scripted by Lee), a reprint of Amazing Fantasy 15 and the Wal-Mart "exclusive" adaptation of the first Spider-Man movie (scripted by Lee).  Stan was awesome that night, signing autographs for hours for a couple thousand fans!  My personal encounter with him was very brief but he was just so enthusiastic the entire time.  His personality is really something to witness in person.  What a great guy!

This is the inside cover to an Uncanny X-Men Masterworks. On the top far left (Cut off. Sorry I couldn't fit it all) is George Perez, who provided some covers for this run. The rest are Stan Lee, Chris Claremont, Terry Austin, John Byrne, Roger Stern and Jim Shooter. I started getting autographs for this in 94 and had the final one, Stan Lee (with Joe) in 06.

I saw Jay Leno perform stand-up right before he was hired in full time on The Tonight Show. As we were heading to our car, we ran into him walking to his car. My sister had a pen and bank envelope in her purse. He was nice enough to sign it.

Gold Medal winner Mary Lou Retton was cool enough to write this inscription I asked for. I met her at a health expo in Cleveland.

I usually don't ask people for autographs, much less wait in line to get them, but I did wait in line to get one from George Perez last winter when he was here in Arizona for a comic convention.

There are a few Silver Age comic creators I'd certainly look to get autographs from if I ran accross them - Stan Lee, John Romita, Neal Adams, Gene Colan, Joe Sinnott, Murphy Anderson, etc., and a few others from when I was younger who's work I really enjoyed - JB, Rich Buckler, Herb Trimpe, Sal Buscema, Steve Englehart, Steve Gerber, etc.

Oh boy...where to start? I've collected autographs for a few years now and have accumulated lots of goodies during that time. Among the cooler items are....

• A box of Jell-O pudding signed by Bill Cosby
• A hockey puck signed by Don Rickles
• An Atlanta Faclons hardhat signed by Michael Vick
• A TIME magazine cover of Jerry Seinfeld signed by Seinfeld
• LAB RATS 1-8 signed by JB
• SUPERMAN vs MUHAMMAD ALI signed by Ali
• A TV GUIDE cover of Jason Alexander signed by Alexander
• A copy of TIME with George W. Bush on the cover signed by Bush.
• Indidivual STAR TREK: NEXT GENERATION trading cards signed by Patrick Stewart, Michael Dorn, Jonathan Frakes, Whoopi Goldberg, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis, and Levar Burton

There are other things like sports cards, comics, action figures, Playbills, baseballs, and other assorted goodies. Anthing else comes to mind of the "cool" variety, I'll post it.

Here is The front page of The Green Lantern Archives signed by Murphy Anderson and the late Gil Kane. Julie Schwatz signed the back page, where his credit was listed.

•Not in the collection -- a few years back I had the opportunity to purchase a vellum document signed by Henry VIII. Turned out it would have been major high maintainance to take proper care of the piece, so I reluctantly passed.

Peter Jackson,Andy Serkis,Jack Black,Richard Taylor,Gino Acevedo and Bob Burns !Got these on our fabulous trip to NY in December 2005

When I was a college student, I saw Sid Caesar speak as part of the university lecture series. I was friends with a guy whose father was head of security and he let us backstage to meet him. Backstage, he was very generous talking to us. My friend and I were television broadcasting majors and he talked about doing tv live and how to be prepared. It was a great experience meeting one of the pioneers in television.
