DIARY FOR 2002
12/31/02 YEAR IN REVIEW: I started with 297 autographs last year and ended up at 587 different names. About a 50% return give or take a couple percentage points. My style of collecting changed this year with a lot of new expanded universe autographs added. Celebration II was cool even though I was sick. Ep II was highly anticipated and it seems more fans liked it better than Ep I. Lord of the Rings came out and may replace Star Wars as the series of choice... Alas, Disney weekends stopped and so did the Myth of Magic tour. Coming to an end is the Art of the Starfighter exhibit. There is a decline in the hobby. The Starwarsautographcollecting.com board that was started seems to have fizzled. Mark from the Belgium Star Wars fan club and the Tatooine trips...has developed a great service for everyone. He's pretty much made a niche for signings, tours to Tunisia and has a great looking newsletter. Starwars.com fan club is not on my favorite list right now as it's turning pay. May the Force be with you in 2003 and if Hobbits invade your life, don't forget about the other creatures in the universe who seemed to inspire many of the newer sci-fi epics. Happy New Year! Please Don't drink and drive.

Joeybearpa@aol.com Seller ID on Ebay, is selling blatant fakes. UACC says he is NOT a member as he claims. His name is Joe or Joseph Ranoia from Nottingham, PA. I also saw on other sites others who got ripped off by him. He's got private feedback, private bidders etc. Don't bid on someone whose feedback or auctions are private. What would be the reason to have private feedback? There is none. If you bid, retract your bid before it's too late. I have reported him to Ebay.

10/31/02 HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Have a safe evening and as a famous Vampier once said "safety in the darkness".
10/29/02 News: I got a phone call last night from Tony Cox. I sounded stupid I know, but it's not every day I get phone calls from someone I've been hoping to find! I was thrilled and just so everyone knows, Mr. Cox is current working on a film due out in 2003 called Bad Santa. Also, if you've not rented Me, Myself and Irene, do that too it's a great one and Mr. Cox has a hilarious part in it.

Mail success: Howie Hammerman (520) (Star Wars sounds; Jabba's burp) I gave him a couple questions and to my delight, he answered them...here's the info for you: Mr. Hammerman did a series of "burps", that combined with P38 Mustang (planes) and some bear cub growls that made up E. T.'s voice! Not only that, but in ESB when Jabba eats the frog? That's Howie's burp too!!

Mail successes: Stan Winston (512) (Star Wars Holiday Special Costumes) He did not sign my two items, but did send one NICE photo, Eric Swenson (513) (Star Wars crew). Success or not? I have part of a sig. He had never had an autograph request before mine. He did NOT sign my items. I appreciate he answered my questions about motion control vs. other camerawork; Mr. Swenson doesn't want to sign or be bothered. He said yes, he did do something (he won't say what) but he's not comfortable signing and his work there was 'nothing'. He's obviously not proud for some reason and that's his choice. Please respect him. Charles Edwards (CUE) (514) (Star Wars Rebel commander extra and Naboo citizen - Jedi), Hal Hickel (515) (Lead Animator Star Wars)

09/27/02 News: Robin Scobey has been located and a recent phone conversation yielded he does NOT want to be bothered by us collectors. He was rude, crude and just plain old nasty (not to mention he was cussing). Nothing you can try will change his mind.... it's been done. This is the worst response I've ever known and thank the Lord the others are beautiful people (most of them) Personal News: My sadness today for the loss of a guy who I used to work with. He was our repo guy and one heck of a nice guy and got a lot of cars for me; I remember that signature series Anniversary Mustang...and that Allen Iverson car.... we'll miss you Brent! You were a great repo man and one heck of a nice guy.
09/25/02 News: Some wanted to know where I got the info on Mr. Elphick. Here's the link: http://www.infinitematrix.net/columns/langford/langford43.html
They obviously erred because we know it was Richard LeParmentier in that role and the other was Needa. According to the person with the poster, they just had him sign the poster and went on the word he was in Star Wars - they weren't sure.
09/24/02 Mail success: Patricia R. Duigan (489) (Crew Star Wars/ROJ/Caravan of Courage). News: Star Wars Insider/Fan Club prices going up. It was 19.95 for a year for and you got 6 issues ($3.33 and issue) of the Star Wars Insider and supposed discounts on exclusive items. It used to be they'd forward fan mail on for you but don't now. Now the price is $28.95 for 8 issues. That's $3.62 and issue. If you want to subscribe, contact www.paizopublishing.com, call 1-800-692-3836, or email swinsider@pcspublink.com. News: Michael Elphick passed away about a week ago. I saw his name on a Star Wars poster but when I emailed the seller on Ebay to ask about it and get a scan, the seller sold the item to another collector before the auction ended. Anyway, I received a newspaper article via email from a friend confirming his death that very day. Was Michael Elphick in Star Wars? I have found NOTHING to substantiate this claim except this: R.I.P. Michael Elphick (1946-2002), the UK actor who died on 8 September aged 55, did little genre work but is known to Star Wars fans as 'the Empire officer Darth Vader choked with The Force.' Regardless, I've added Mr. Elphik's signature to my collection.
09/23/02 Mail successes: Nicholas Reeves (archeologist/Egyptologist) and Curt Schulkey (486) (Dialog Editor Star Wars). Said one comment which was "disturbing", but that's ok, he just doesn't understand our enthusiasm. He sort of mocked me wanting signatures of lesser crew; but he did sign I guess... and Bruce Logan (487) (photography; Mini and optical Star Wars). RTS: Bruce Nicholson (Star Wars crew) 2741 Tenth Street, Berkeley, CA 94110 "Return to Sender: No longer at this address". And RTS: Gerry Cooney (boxer), though I think they didn't send it and it just came back to me. Only postmark on it is VA and no stamps, messages or other marks! 22501 Linden Blvd. Jamaica, NY 11411.

09/19/02 Mail successes: Joan Rivers (481) (Spaceballs) and Dick Durock (482) (Ewok films) sent two signed photos. You need to purchase photos from him on his site, but at $10-$15 each, they are quality images and he signs beautifully and will inscribe. He doesn't have any Ewok photos, but I think if you sent a generic photo with Marauders in it and $5, he'd sign (don't forget the SASE). Purchase: Ken Olfson (483) (Spaceballs - deceased). Signature verified by his brother Lewy who noted me bidding on it on Ebay. News: The Radko company verified that the Radko items I had listed on the site were in fact, ALL that were ever made.

It's not what he owed me (I sent him two other autographs because he made me feel guilty plus had to foot postage twice). After being ripped off a lot more than what he sent, I'd never deal with him again and would encourage others not to as well.
Mail successes: Paul Davids (476) (Star Wars Author) and Hollace Davids (477) (Star Wars Author).
09/12/02 News: Monopoly questions resolved! After an email from the Vice President of Tourism, I have been told that Illinois Avenue has indeed been renamed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. It may be that I did in fact see a sign that was inadvertently left up! Also, Marvin Gardens is NOT part of Atlantic City! It's in neighboring Margate and Ventnor, which are suburbs of Atlantic City. There is no Marvin Gardens really, but it's the area connecting the two 'burbs', and what's more is It's spelled incorrectly! Seems it should be Marven Gardens which is a combination of names for MARgate and VENtnor. A move was made to change the name years ago but in 1972 a movie was made called "The King of Marvin Gardens" and because of the reference and popularity, the name change was vetoed by Parker Brothers. Parker Brothers, now Hasbro, didn't comment on the Marven/Marvin Gardens question, but they did answer my other question as to if they'd change the game according to reality as it exists today. According to Ms Ouellette of the consumer affairs Dept at Hasbro, "There are no plans to update the classic Monopoly game." As for the elusive St. Charles Place, "it no longer exists", says Ms. Rhodes of the Atlantic City tourism office. She and the gracious staff checked several old maps and it seems that St. Charles Place was at the location of the now named, Showboat Casino. If I go back, I'll finish up with the board and try to find the Waterworks and Electric Companies as well.
09/11/02 Mail success: Antonio Hoyas (475). He was tough to find! His wife tells me it went five places before she got my letter! This was obtained via venue and he's moved to another state since then... I don't have a new address, sorry.

09/04/02 News: We went to Atlantic City, which was awful in some ways as it rained within an hour after we got there and stopped about an hour after we left! I've written about our Monopoly quest and a write up and photos and more is online as well. As for Star Wars, the only thing there was a "Starabilia" store in Trump's Taj Mahal. I saw a couple Ford posters and one GIANT display matted (about 6' wide x 4' high). There was also a Ray Park item, but at $250 it was overpriced ten fold. I almost convinced Scott to by me an Aerosmith signed drumhead/display or a Bon Jovi item, but we quickly lost the $350.00 we were ahead, and decided not to go to far in the hole. We saw Martin Short in a comedy act, but did not get his signature as we were stupid and didn't get there early enough and had to sit in the back. Mail success: Dan Gregoire (468) (Star Wars crew).

08/08/02 I sent the wrong image to Kevin Pollak! I sent the Ewok movie image rather than the Radio Drama Image. So I got a note back that said, "Thanks, but Kevin wasn't in Star Wars". Obviously they didn't read the whole letter. I did mention the radio dramas but just sent the wrong pic. Never did get my item from Chris Macht. I hate to mention it again, but the guy is just a rip off artist! Amazing people have no conscience.
08/07/02 Purchase: James Cameron (436) (Director/Star Wars Documentary). Confusing mail success. Marty Balin! Now, what was up I don't know because I wrote to him November of 2001 and got a non-signature success the following month. He had sent a bunch of laser prints, a pin, a CD etc but NOTHING was signed. I thought it greedy to try again because he sent the CD, so I just bought a photo. Well today, I got my two signed pics back. However, he did NOT sign my Holiday Special item. So if you write, that could be a hint... It doesn't add another name to the collection, but it's a nice one because he's still one the the best rock stars of our time.

07/16/02 Just got done returning an email from an animator who worked on Star Wars. I won't be giving out his name because he seems not to be thrilled at being asked for an autograph. In any event, he was cordial but here is his statement for your consideration:
"My advice to you is not to ask for autographs directly from animators or digital artists via email. You'd do far better to approach the publicity departments of each company who handles this sort of thing.
Our business can be very secretive as studios want to keep their projects out of the public eye until they're ready. Because animators are employees of studios, they are under certain rules about handing out any kind of information, autographs, merchandise, etc. All employees that work at animation or effects companies are bound by non-disclosure agreements, and companies are very sensitive to this. Due to the inventions of on-line auctions like Ebay, it has not been unheard of for people to seek autographs to boost the value of an item and sell it.
Unfortunately, because of this, autographs are a sensitive thing."

07/12/02 To Chris Macht . . . deepspaceproduction@hotmail.com productions; you tried to make me feel guilty and said you didn't get your items so I sent you another. Then, I compensated so that you didn't think I was accusing you of something... then you lied and and I've NOT received the trade items. I will expect either payment for the autographs you got, the items back or what you were supposed to send. To all out there, do NOT trust this guy. His Ebay ID is Inept533; he will RIP YOU OFF. As of 12/04, Mr. Macht has not only kept the several items I sent him, he has never made an attempt to pay me or return the items and in addition, ripped off at least two other people I am aware of. He has MANY Ebay ID's and is a pathological liar.

Speaking this week the star revealed that he even refuses to sign autographs. "I love acting. I love the rehearsal process. I love everything between action and cut in a film and I also still like 7.30am till 10.30pm on stage. But, everything else associated with it I find I have no patience for. When it comes to the interviews I think what's it going to prove? After all its the work that counts. But, the fact is you have to go out and sell your product." He continued, "I really want to protect my children. I have a policy if I am with my children I always say no to autograph hunters. I'm not rude I just don't want them to see me being treated special."

05/12/02 Celebration II celebrity photos online. Mail item: invitation to Charity event in Washington DC for today to see the screening of Ep II! But alas, I don't want to get ill again and don't want to drive 3 hours there and 3 hours back.... so I am passing. But another nice addition to my collectibles area. Another mail item from Anna: British Magazine and Newspaper about Ep II!
05/11/02 Hi all! I am back! Celebration was huge. I have much to tell and won't get into it all today. I still am recovering... Apparently, I have walking pneumonia and didn't know it. I was ill the whole time at celebration and appeared the freak. I couldn't speak well (laryngitis) and was pale, then flushed and sweating. I heard a number as high as 98 thousand attended, but they were including repeat visitors. There was no way to count. Let's just say a number of people were there to get Carrie Fisher's autograph and pretty much that's all they did after a 7.5 hour wait. Some waiting in line that long and left the event without seeing Carrie, obtaining her sig and seeing pretty much nothing! If it weren't for someone special, I'd not have gotten Carrie's sig myself. Because even getting in line at 5 am or so meant I was about 4,000 in line just to get in the door. Half of those were were for Carrie. In any event, I'll be putting some stuff on here all week. Except for one mishap with a poster that was lost and getting Silas Carson's sig (he didn't show) and one Carrie sig (I was only allowed a couple total, sorry), I did manage to get everything else and will be offering a few photos for sale/trade. I managed to get the exclusive figure and the person who bought one from me already has theirs in the mail. For everyone else, I am sorry for the delay and will be mailing everything Monday. If by chance I am as ill as yesterday or today, I'll get someone to do it for me, so never fear. As for mail whilst I was gone, I just finished opening it all and no ttm successes! I got two responses which I'll tell you about later and also a couple surprise packages and another item or so. Oh, I never want to see Pizza Hut again-I left it on the shoulder of the highway! Oh, the best part of the trip? To meet a few people I talk to. Now time for bed, but watch for a LOT of stuff to come every day this week from the trip!
05/02/02 News: I'm off to Celebration II and to visit relatives. For those who sent me items or cash to get stuff from them, I'll try to email from my relatives. I am sick; started feeling bad today. See ya soon!

04/12/02 RTS: Esther Scott (Ewok Cartoons) c/o Abrams agency, 9200 Sunset Blvd. #407, Los Angeles, CA 90069. A label was overtop with this address: 2716 3r Street Santa Monica, CA 90405. But there was a stamp over the top of that and looks like it was cancelled twice "Moved Left No Address". What I might do is send to this address again, hoping they forward. Because even if she wasn't at that address, I don't think they'd forward three times anyway. A success though from Jim Henshaw (349) (Voice of Wicket in the cartoons).

News: I got an Email from N1 Newsagency (after I threatened to make a site telling people they rip people off and upload it to every engine I could find...and after I tried emailing them nicely three times previously), said that they have begun getting over 50 orders a day from overseas. They said all of a sudden this has happened and it was unexpected and apparently it was because of my post here). They went on further to say 75% of these orders have resulted in chargebacks because their credit cards are not good. He was not flattered by my threats and did say he was alone in doing the chargebacks and weeding out the good from the bad. In the meantime, do not order stamps from them till this is cleared up! He also said that the business was not set up for individual orders. It was set up for mass business.
