Ok thanks.

Or alternatively which one do you like as in my experience there aren't really than many out there?

I don't believe they can charge for the 8x10 because then it becomes a copyright issue, so some other solution would be needed.

Where does it say that please TT. I've never heard that of MSPG before, I thought it was only the 8x10s they got signed. Sorry, to explain why I'm asking, it would be usefull if MSPG can take personal stuff to be signed at the shows, but I wouldn't have thought they would want to take responsibility for peoples personal items so had never thought they did this. I cannot see anything on their site to say they do.

One very important thing to remember though is what order to do things in. When you get into the venue and the first thing you see is all those wonderful sellers with lots of good stuff to buy it can be tempting to look there first. However if you want to meet the big guests (i.e. Elija, Carrie or RIchard Dreyfuss) ignore the tables, go straight to the guest area, find the relevant guest table you want and get in the queue for a Virtual Queue ticket. This is all explained in the FAQ but you can't meet the guests without one of these VQ tickets and the longer you leave it to get one the smaller the chance of getting to meet the guest. It doesn't usually happen that people don't get to meet the guests they want but it is risky with the bigger guests. Also remember that if both you and your friend want to meet a guest you both have to queue up and get a VQ ticket - you can't line up and try to get one for her and one for you. The same thing applies for the talk tickets. Remember - Get any tickets you want FIRST - then you can relax, take your time and look around.

To quote the Fairy Godmother from Shrek 2 "Can you give me a Whoop Whoop"!

My favorite has to be my Stephen Spielberg one. I was lucky enough to meet him with a few other people when we were allowed to go on set and watch him filming "Empire of the Sun". I've had it for years and thought it might have been lost. I knew it was in a small box inside another box in my loft but couldn't find it. I had a clearout a few months ago and thankfully found it - it's now in a safe place with all my other auto's. It was my first ever auto and I was only about 7 at the time.

In the US a period is this . In the UK a period is best not mentioned. . this in the UK is a full stop. A female friend went to stay with her US penpal (when they were both about 14 yrs old) and was horrified when her penpal told her quite calmly that she had missed her period (meaning she had left the full stop off the end of a sentence).

Yes he was in X Files - Stargate as well! Hope there are some 8x10's from that.

Well I know a huge Tony Adams fan who I would get an auto for if he attended. I lnow he did an event recently.

I understand what you are saying - kind of like keeping the bad ones visible.

Yeah, that one's much better, and far more accurate, especially how they have stated this: She was the last survivor of the tragedy with actual memories of the sinking on 15 April, 1912.

I think the easiest way to think of it (if this helps you decide whether to get one or not) is: How many guests do you want to see, who are they and how much do you want to meet them. The more big names you really want the more reason for getting a gold ticket. I can see that having a gold ticket would really take the stress out of the day if you wanted to meet a lot of the guests. No early morning queueing, no stress trying to get VQ tickets, more time to shop or meet people.... Personally I haven't ever had one and don't see myself getting one. I only ever see a few specific people (Stargate actors) so have never had much of a problem with queues and such. The only time I would buy one hands down was if SM ever convinced Richard Dean Anderson to attend. If he did, i'd be scrambling to buy one just to be sure.

Actually, I'm not intending to inflame any ongoing debates here but I find it interesting to note that the papers word it a misleading way. The article headline in the Metro today reads "Last Titanic survivor, 99, dies in her sleep". Only in the article does it clarify to say last AMERICAN survivor. However the article is fairly small and doesn't mention the other 2 at all. So to me it reads that that's it, everyone who survived the disaster has now passed on.

As others have said Nigeria is particularly know for this kind of thing, particularly in regard to phones. Unfortunately it's been going on for a few years now. One of my friend's son was selling his old handset on ebay and recieved 2 emails asking if it would be sent to Nigeria despite being clearly labled 'UK delivery only'. When she told us he had received these emails we all said "Don't do it" Again it's too late in this instance but for the future or for anyone else reading, I always check my paypal account when I have recieved a payment notification. If the payment isn't there, I don't send it out. I also always type the full paypal address in myself instead of using links in emails - annoying but always the safer option. What some other ebay users do is to state clearly in the sales blog that they won't accept bids from people with less than 10 positive feedbacks. Anyone with less than this should contact the seller for approval to bid. That way you have time to check their feedback out before the auction ends and approve them or not. Not so sure if that option is still something sellers do though, it was a while ago that I saw it. The other obvious safety tip is to always beware of buing/selling to people who keep their feedback and list of bidders private (Unless you know the reason they do this - there are some legitimate reasons for keeping bidders private), however I'm not aware of any legitimate reasons for keeping feedback private and wonder why Ebay allows this. If anyone has any opinion on that or can enlighten me i'd be greatful.

For all the cynics out there, I am sorry to say, Millvina's autograph value has just been raised. I really don't mean this to be in anyway disrespectful but will it? I'm asking from a purely interested point of view and not a financial one. It's been said a few times that out of the 3, Millvina's the only one to do anything publicly relating to the Titanic so would that change the value? If the other 2 where never involved in any Titanic signing's etc, would her death increase the value of Millvina's signings?

Two bits of advice. The most important being that when the doors open (or you get in) get the virtual queue tickets first, don't do and see the stalls, leave that untill you have your queue tickets. The bigger guests will have loads of people wanting to see them so the lower your ticket number the greater the chance of getting through to see them. Secondly, everyone there is really friendly. Just be brave and start talking to people in queues and stuff and take it from there. Oh and take a post it note with your name clearly printed on it. If you want personalised auto's you can attatch the post it to what you are getting signed. It makes it much easier for the guests as then they don't have to try wrapping their brains around accents and spelling your name wrong.

The only other bit of advice I've ever seen that might be quite obvious but is usefull to know is that if you are going to use an autograph book never get sigs on the back side of each page.

I went to U of G a few years ago when it was still Chelt & Glouc College of Higher Education. I did Hotel and Catering Management out of the Francis Close Hall Campus. It's a nice place and I liked my time there.

I checked the IMDB listing and he was on there. Andrew Jackson was as well. David Nykl is listed as playing 'Brianna's Father' and Andrew J as 'Master Burton' if that is any help.

Damn those shoppers for being in a shopping center, how inconsiderate of them.

Did anyone notice that Garwin Sanford and David Nykl were in it.

Such a shame that as you apparantly act as the forum information desk for attendees, you can't answer my post with an appropriately professional response. 951800[/snapback] hmm you want a proffesional response to a fairly confrontational email. Maybe if you phrased your questions better you'd get people to help you.

there are ways of getting any pics at almost any size other than buying em. Have you ever had your own printed? I searched for a high res picture of Buzz Aldrin, had a photo place enlarge it, looks awesome! much better than a 10x8. I get most my own images and have em printed not rely on the 10x8's supplied at shows. 951142[/snapback] Some guests will only sign official pictures though.

One method I've seen used, which I think is quite good is a numbered hologram on the back of the auto'd photo with the corresponding numbered holo on the COA. Hard to duplicate and probably can't be peeled off and stuck to another auto, as it might look obvious and can only be used on one pic, not on any more.
