Mayhem

Rational guess, so people can decide in time if it’s worth spending the travel and accommodation money to attend the Winter event while they are both potentially cheaper now than closer to the time.

Cheers for the info Raylenth, I've sent in items to a number of SM shows over the years, and this is the first time I've seen the hologram. As said, not all my items sent in this year received a hologram either!

Cheers Queen S, I regularly chat to JasonG myself, but as he's at Glasgow this weekend, I was wondering if anyone else had gotten similar on their items or if anyone else knew about this before I ping him a message in a couple of days time when he's back home.

Got my send in items back from SM (for Sunday guests I wasn't there for) and some of them have a hologram sticker on the back saying "Showmasters Genuine Autograph". I was not aware this was being done, not seen any mention or information of this feature, when was it introduced? Given not all of the items had stickers applied, is it only being done for over a certain value, or the ones missed were an error?

There was no option in the survey if you attended two days heh. It was either one day or all three.

Bernard Cribbins, but only as I didn’t attend Sunday. I got everyone I set out to get at least.

I've always done Friday because it's usually when Jason loads the Star Wars guests, and tends to be the quietest, so win win. This year, I have to say, and several other people commented similar, that Friday was way quieter than last year's Friday. It was incredibly easy bar a bit of a dash about trying to catch everyone I wanted in between lunch, photo shoots etc, and having to reschedule getting Peter S for Saturday as he couldn't make it.

Not offhand, but all the big autograph collectors I know use them. It's because the sleeves are archival acid-free for starters.

It's Flickr time for my photos... https://www.flickr.com/photos/mayhemers/albums/72157710036151722

Preparing my daughter for starting nursery on Monday, I hope she nails it and takes no crap from the other kids heh.

My brother is usually interested in what cosplay and celebs I’ve snapped at each show.

Hopefully will get to sticking up photos tonight...

I have to agree, one of the nicest members of staff I've encountered during my visits to LFCC, and especially as Ian was the first DP I ever got. She managed to squeeze me into the line before Ian went off for his throne photoshoot (which was a little fortunate as he got plenty of practice using paint pens with guests before me, right before I also handed him a thin nib paint pen to use on some cards!), had a good chat about how it was going, and I came back a couple times later on to see how she was doing and how the queue was (very slowly) progressing. The situation definitely made me realise buying a DP was a good idea, and she handled matters excellently.

I'm not killed off that easily....!
