12/04/03 News: Someone emailed saying they bought something expensive: and wanted to authenticate it. They said the person issuing the COA was from a reputable auction house and their original photo was valued at over 5,000 pounds (7,500 US Dollars) because it was original, had a COA by a famous authenticator and was signed by Ford, Fisher and Hamill. I have bad news. NO contemporary photo of an autograph would be that much unless your talking high art world here like something signed by say Ansel Adams or someone like that! I told him unless taken by Annie Leibovitz or something, signed COA from Lucasfilm and signed by Lucas and Leibovitz and Ford, Fisher and Hamill and was a one of a kind photo, it's wasn't worth 1/10th as much. I sincerely doubt the photo was "original"; Lucasfilm owns all these photos. When you are buying something someone claims is rare, please check the COA signer out. In this case, the COA was issued by an auction house, but the signer of the COA was a Donald Frangipani. The seller I am not sure about. Could have been the auction house or someone else entirely! You can see by simply typing his name in Google, you get this:
This is one of quite a few articles talking about the fakes this guy has done.... so remember, check out the seller and the COA issuer! This person was ripped over SEVERAL hundreds of dollars or more. He wouldn't say. He just said a LOT more when I posted a random figure that was really high (several hundred).

DC Trip yesterday was horrendous! A normal 6-7 hour trip total on a medium to heavy traffic day, took a whopping 12.5 hours! We hit an accident on the way up that was an overturned oil tanker and on the way back we were 8 miles from home and had to be rerouted to another apparent accident that had 6 fire trucks and several police cars...and if that wasn't bad enough, the truck stop we ate at on the way up was HORRENDOUS in all aspects from the restrooms to the food and service, and it continued long after we left...I got ill from the food!

10/28/03 News: A fixture in the convention world emailed me with a dilemma. He told me he doesn't charge but he's reconsidering such as some people do NOT send items to sign and outright ask for 8x10's. He's given personal stuff before, but even has had to pay postage and what bothered him was some of these people also turn around and resend several more items. Someone sent upwards of 10 cards in one batch! Due to this, he's asked my opinion and I told him if they do not send proper items and postage, do NOT respond! If they send postage and no items, I suggest he enclose a letter telling them when they send an item, he would be happy to sign. I told him most collectors would appreciate him signing free through the mail and would certainly make a concerted effort to buy a photo from a convention if they attended a convention where he was at and maybe were more likely to buy since he was so nice to them in the first place. The lack of postage, sending something to sign and lack of politeness, makes the signers want to start charging or worse yet, NOT sign. Please do NOT ruin it for others. Please enclosed IRC's, postage from their countries or even money if you have no other options for postage. ALWAYS include items to sign and please be polite. Sending more than a couple items makes them think you are selling it on Ebay no matter WHAT you say in your letter. Yes, people lie to these people about who the sigs are for etc! They say they won't sell them but they end up on Ebay. Be responsible, PLEASE!

10/22/03 News: On those Star Wars Weekends at Disney autographs, check it closely with mine because the Quinn preprint is convincing; for those not understanding the concept of Preprints you can take one signature and lay it over the top of the other and it will match exactly. The signatures will be in the same place and be identical. When I got them, I could spot immediately without a close look that they were PP's, but the Quinn one I had to look twice! It was dark and shiny and looked like marker. But it was indeed a PP. How can you test? Take a Q-Tip and dip in rubbing alcohol. Then squeeze excess off. Find minor part of the sig and briefly swipe the area in one direction once... If nothing comes off, that means it's a preprint. Buying these online are hard because people list them as "hand signed" and unless you compare to my scans, you won't tell till you get them if they authentic or reprints.

10/11/03 RTS: John Noble (Lord of the Rings Denethor) c/o AA Williams MGMT Helen Rolland P.O. Box 1397 Darlinghurst NSW 1300 Australia. News: Someone mentioned my Dave Prowse "fakes" last night, so let me make this clear again: A couple years ago I sent two requests out to Dave Prowse in the same week. I got back two successes within a day of each other. One from North Carolina and from the UK. I was told that Dave lived in the UK and yet goes to US all the time and that's the home of his Arthritis foundation and sending a donation would yield a sig. So I sent. The two successes were different. 4 index cards; two with one sig and two with a different looking sig. Later on, I found out someone named Max Peterson was probably forging Dave's signature on the cards. Dave knows about this. I have not heard if this practice is still taking place, but I would strongly suggest not mailing to the North Carolina address. News: Concerning ILM: several incidents occurred in the past where mail employees, secretaries or others were signing without permission for crew members. Items that have come out of ILM that are proven fake (two by me personally): Paul Martin Smith and Phil Eason. I've seen a fake C Andrew Nelson and at least two fake Michelle Taylors when she didn't even work there or was in the country, and last night, someone mentioned David Dozoretz and Gavin Boucquet are as well. I have no proof on the latter three myself but that is what was reported to me and those Taylor sigs were not right. The first two I know first hand. Especially Phil Eason who I was in contact with. Sending to ILM is not good at this time. Also, friends report you'll get one of two nasty-grams: "cease and desist mailing our people" or "we are not a fan mail forwarding center"

09/23/03 I've been harassed countless times by someone claiming to be Thatcher Stone, a lawyer, who demanded I remove a phone number from the site that clearly belongs to Marvel Comics. A long time ago when he first said this, I called the number and someone answered Marvel Comics. A number of sites also list this number, so I told him and said that he should be nice in his next email, I'll remove it (even if not an error). He refused, escalating to threats! Four months passed and he has never asked nicely for me to remove this number so it will remain. I don't take kindly to threats and rude behavior. I am so stressed out by this man that I am feeling ill... If you are in need of a lawyer, I would strongly urge you to seek council elsewhere; some of the threats make it seem he is NOT knowledgeable about law. If he wants the number to be removed, I will accept a polite email asking me to remove it. If he refuses, it'll stay till the end of time.

09/22/03 I am just online weeding through close to 200 emails (75% non spam because I have most now on a kill filter); The hurricane was horrendous here with millions in damage. I woke up to see it NOT on TV anywhere. The ONE day northeast/NY blackout got more coverage? I am one of the lucky ones without power, cable, phone and cel phone for 4 days! Lucky because some lost even water/sewage too. We could at least flush the toilets and take a cold shower even if the water was not fit to drink. We had propane, bottled water and my fetish for candles and batteries was something my husband said he’ll never complain about again. But there was no air conditioning in the sometimes stifling muggy heat and no ice for those drinks or for my withering pets. Also, no hot coffee, no milk, no gas for the cars and thank the lord I had cash stashed away for things like instant coffee, underwear and other small things we could eat. No one thinks about it, but the ATM’s don’t work without electricity. As I write this, over a million people are still without power. I saw a man begging for ice to keep his daughter’s insulin. Many old people on respirators etc were in big trouble. Still today sirens all day. Curfews at night… We are alive, will NEVER take power for granted again. I didn’t complain and still won’t. We are safe, did not have flooding (other than a little in the back yard) our house and cars are in tact. I saw a lot of damaged houses and cars crushed and all the piers around here are gone and many injured. Our damage was minimal. I think GOD was watching over us because we had a 40-50’ tall pine tree in the front…. It was uprooted and by some miracle, I watched it fall about 3’ from the window where we were sitting. It landed between both houses, missing both! The massive maple tree in the back yard lost a limb that I often worried about and asked some tree guys to take down less it kill my neighbors, but the guy stole my money and never came back to get the last two limbs (that was one of the two). Well, the limb snapped off almost from the base and missed the house next door by about an inch! It landed between their house and shed. I lost one split rail fence and my husband was able to put the other together with salvaged pieces from the other. The only damage we have to claim is a chain link fence. We lost a good 20 feet that that was crushed by the falling limb. Also we had a steel clothesline and one end of it was crushed. We also probably lost a 200.00 of meat and food that today I’ll be throwing out. I lost one of my three favorite remaining bushes (the snowball bush) and my Hydrangea might be able to be saved....it's just leaning a lot (along with a pine tree in the back that might/might not have to come down). One thing at a time I guess. I have to get my husbands medicine if the pharmacy is open, try to get groceries if they’ve got anything left (all the freezer cases were empty the last stores we tried), get gas for the cars, vacuum (mud throughout the house), and most importantly, triage my 5 days worth of laundry that was smelling (from wet clothes that had been in the washer the morning of the hurricane) and clean out that rotted food. I’ll get to normalcy later in the week. In the meantime, I’ll try to respond to emails between laundry and cleaning. Trade: William Daniels (Voice of KITT and Mr. Feeny). Mail success: Harry Melling (Harry Potter Dudley Dursley) and Sid Ganis (812) (SW documentary).

We were told to evacuate, but we personally will not because all hotels up north are full and we've no relatives in the area or friends in the area we need to go to. Shelters won't take animals and I've 3 cats; so we are riding it out. PC might be down a couple days.
