James Earl Jones nice bold signature good size on card.
I have not cut it from the card but shown what it could look like matted into your framed project.
£150 shipped via tracked and signed. Unfortunately my camera phone is ****, the item itself is crisp.
I pack bombproof.

I also have several 8x10s listed in another thread

Gotta say mate, this is bang out of order and pisses me off. It's just profiteering in someone's sad passing. This is just insulting and disrespectful.

If you want to sell this, I'd do it on Ebay as no one here will buy it, and its in no way worth £200 but you might find a fool over there to pay it . Just remember he signed a lot of the autographs out there for free, through the mail.

Think about if for a second.

"Bang out of order and pisses you off" ?

Well just for your information...

I I was one of those calling for a period of respect after his death during which people should not be allowed to sell his autograph, however, as I can see that everyone else
is completely ignoring that and literally flooding the market - most of them fakes I might add - and asking massively inflated prices, I think that I am, with respect to Mr. Jones,
legitimately now allowed to sell genuine examples of his autograph, and for whatever price I choose to ask , which I might add that price is way below what I am seeing elsewhere !

I've seen cuts smaller and rougher sell for significantly more this week.

No doubt you'll choose to criticise my pricing when I post up some 8x10s - all I might add at significantly less than I have seen other people sell fakes for.

Oh and as for "profiteering" , yeah, I'm the guy that regularly gifts items to charity auctions. You've probably bid on some of them in the past.

The answer is simple really. You have 3 choices....

1) Go buy a fake and at a massively inflated price.

2) Buy a genuine item at a reasonable price from a genuine collector with huge trading history. Or make me a sensible offer as I'm always up for a deal.

3) Choose not to buy and simply move along... move along...

Nope, never bid on any of your 'charity'pieces. I've been in the gane for over 30 years and remember when you came onto the SW autograph scene when you asked for help authenticating some autographs, the Harrison Ford in the movie programme you purchased years back being one. You actually messaged me years back for authentication on the Ford and others😀

I'd love to see some of the JEJ you have called fake too. Just to add I don't buy fakes🤣 if you were a 'genuine collector' then I'm pretty sure you would hold on to such pieces and not trying flogging them when the signer passes away.

Like I said, it is profiteering after someone's passing. Just because other's do it doesn't mean you have to.

James Earl Jones once said that he signed for free in the past because he wanted to make sure his autograph was so easy to come by that people couldn't make money off his name, yet people start selling right after he passes away.

It's also one many reasons why actors etc won't sign in public anymore, Hamill being one because he is sick of people making money off his kindness.

Either way, you are right - you can sell what ever you want. Whether or not it's done at the right time or way is up to you and if you deem it to be respectable then that's up to you.

I remember that too and while I had - like many others before me - been collecting autographs for decades before "coming onto the scene", I'd been woken up by being burned on Star Wars fakes, as I'm sure pretty much everyone got in their early days, so I made it a point to go looking for forums etc where experienced collectors hung out.
I thank you for the input back then. It was appreciated then and it still is now. As was the input of many others.

Yes, I know all about Hamill and Oz and others refusing to sign and the reasons behind it.

As for charity pieces - you'd have no way of knowing it was me who donated them to the charity as I usually prefer to be anonymous when doing so - unless of course I personally am selling an item and donating the funds to charity - which I may well be doing with some of the items I'm listing.

You question the genuineness of my collecting. Well I have been obsessed with Star Wars since seeing it as a 9 year old child and collected anything I could find to do with it until I out grew the toys and passed everything onto my nephew - only to start collecting again the following year. In fact my most cherished memory of my Mother was the day she bought me a Lyons Maid ice lolly with a C3PO mask. I dropped monopoly money into collecting as much Lyons Maid items as I could because of it.

I've pumped more than the value of a house into my collection and while I have enjoyed every minute of that buzz of finding the choice piece, or that one bit you're missing, there was always going to be a time when I knew it would have to be sold on for others to enjoy. In doing so, raising funds to look after my wife and I as we both have major health issues.

You accuse me of profiteering. I'm well aware of James' signing ethos, and it's not me that sets the market. Others do that.
I simply price my items below what I am seeing similar items sell for.

Considering lots of those are fakes and my items are genuine, I think that's more than fair. After all, I'm always willing to strike a deal for a reasonable offer -
but in that offer does need to at least reflect the market a little bit.

I never said you did buy fakes. I've seen you around for a long time and with some choice pieces - more than enough to recognise you as an experienced knowledgeable collector.
Oh and it's not just me calling them fakes either. I'm sure you hang out in other forums so will have seen as much yourself, as well as on Evilbay.

At the end of the day what I see is this - you're annoyed because you think I'm simply trying to milk a dead cow. I get it. I understand it. But it's simply not the case.
I sat and cried like a baby when the news of James' death broke, as I did with Carrie, Kenny, Dave and others. Star Wars is my life blood.

As much as I do not want to part with my collection, I have nobody to leave it to, so my items were always going to be sold when my health went South.

As I said previously, I was one of those calling for a period of respect, but that is being ignored and fakes are flooding the market and people are getting burned.

Timing and pricing are simply a question of supply and demand. The demand is now and I have the supply. Better to let people buy genuine items.

Good post, I appreciate your understanding of my point of view as I do yours after that post. Seems like you have the same mindset as me with regards to SW, it means a lot to me too and like you I have a fondness to collect what means the most to us hence why much of my collection is about what my mum bought for me as a kid.

We can agree to disagree, and I apologise for the rant. I suppose it's just something that I need to accept.
 
This is one for blackbeard really, but previously we have allowed people to sell anything SW related at any time. It may appear insensitive, but now is probably the time when it will fetch the most. It's in a sellers best interests to list when demand is highest.
I make no judgement on who is right, or wrong. I can see both sides. Either way, unless the new boss has a different set of rules than the old boss, members are free to sell anything SW related, any time and ask any price.

Though, it looks like all is good now anyway. 😎
 
Lee, rant away mate it's absolutely understood - especially when you see something that feels just plain wrong to you.

We all have to do our best to - for want of a better expression - "police" this hobby.
