Excellent post, Matt and what a great collection! I especially like the signed Clint Eastwood press book. Wow, did you actually get to meet the man himself then?
You are right about it being expensive being a film buff. I love to collect autographed photos and autographed memorabilia and have built up quite a decent collection now. Below are some of the highlights.
The following autographs are ones I have had the great pleasure in obtaining from the stars themselves in person:
Christopher Lee, Leslie Phillips, Jack Douglas, Tim Healy, Pat Roach, Valerie Leon, Jacki Piper, Sue Holderness, Roy Heather, Craig Charles, Chris Barrie, Danny John-Jules, Robert Llewellyn, Ben E King, Mick Foley.
My collection also contains autographs of the following people who I haven't met:
Chevy Chase, David Jason, Ronnie Barker, Nicholas Lyndhurst, Lennard Pearce, Matt Lucas, David Walliams, James Herbert.
Now, where's the money coming from for the next piece of memorabilia?
