I always buy autographs for that reason as it saves money.

Just like Lambert Wilson for example. Never really paid attention to anyone in Catwoman except Halle Berry in that cat suit, but got the Wilson auto for his role in Matrix: reloaded.

Exactly why I want his auto

I collect autographs for my favorite shows/movies such as Alias, Buffy, Charmed, and Tomb Raider as well as for an actor’s /actress’ filmography roles.

My next goal this year is a Molly Sims Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Auto Card (Delinda Deline on Las Vegas).

Just thought of a few more of mine related to this thread:

Amy Irving Alias auto: one of my favorites, loved her in the movie, "Bossa Nova"

Rutger Hauer Alias auto: tons of movies such as Ladyhawke, The Hitcher and, of course, Bladerunner.

Terry O'Quinn Alias auto: big fan of his in Millenium and also his portrayal of Howard Hughes

Adam Beach Dead Zone auto: does a fantastic job of portraying Navajo Tribal policeman Jim Chee in the PBS Mystery movies of the Tony Hillerman novels.

For me it would be for Carrie.

You can often get really desirable autographs via trading card which you just might not see elsewhere. The Mickey Rooney auto from the Twilight Zone suddenly went up in price as non card collectors suddenly twigged that a hollywood icon had signed. Think Sarah Michelle Gellar Buffy fame X many millions more people knowing who he was! Film actors them were the most recognisable people in the world. I'm sorry but a mere tv show actor just doesnt compare.

...I know I've said it before but the twilight zone autos are the biggest sleeper set out there for hollywood signers..Buddy Ebsen also signed ...he was in Broadway Melody of 1938 and was the original tin man in the wizard of oz before Jack Haley took over...and it is still his voice you hear singing in the movie

If I only had a heart..

Same for me. (I loved her in Carrie 2 as well)

She also did The Fury where she was the Carrie type super person.

And not to forgot she was Barbara Streisand's love interest in Yentl.

As I look through my cards, I keep finding more that fit this thread:

Richard Kiel- Wild, Wild West auto (gotta love his work in the James Bond movies!)

David Warner - Planet of the Apes (played Sark in one of the landmark movies of my misspent youth: TRON!!!

I have a trade set-up to get an Ally Sheedy auto from Dead Zone,another Breakfast Clubber

Mostly I buy autographs because I like an actor in that specific role (like Hugh Jackman as Wolverine... I would never buy his Van Helsing auto because I so don't like this film).

But I got the Steven Culp auto from Enterprise because I loved him in JAG and Desperate Housewives.

This is a superb thread, and the originator must be as inbalanced as I am.

I collect mainly LOTR, Star Wars and Dr Who, but I also collect Dame Judi Dench auto cards, and have cards from Riddick & Bond. I hope one day Judi will play Dr Who, but I guess that's just wishful thinking!!

Actually trying to get the autos ( let alone as cards ) of all those in the "Comic Relief: Doctor Who and the Curse of the Fatal Death" would be very challenging
i.e. as The Doctor
Rowan Atkinson, Richard E. Grant, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Grant, Joanna Lumley
as the Assistant .... Julia Sawalha
as The Master...Jonathan Pryce
and Roy Skelton as a Dalek voice

bruce campell as who-care's in xena...just pretend its ash from Evil dead and bingo, instant desireable card (btw , how disappointing they made an Army of darkness set WITH AUTOGRAPHS (even sketch's) and there wasnt one of ash.

Louise Fletcher aka Kai Win Deep space 9 was nurse Ratchett in one flew over the cucook nest...oscar winning performance

Andrew Robinson Garak DS9 was the punk Clint wanted to make his day in dirty Harry..

oh the list is endless...

I can't speak for the others but Pryce signed for the RA James Bond 40th Anniversary set, and perhaps there will be a Lumley in the SI New Avengers set...
