ive seen treksearcher,s sketchs in the box breakdown list. i see that 2 of the sketchs he got are on the old stock card from the first set only one is on the new stock,strange ??
george cole was mentioned in the earlier listings as a signer, then it vanished into the mists of time.nice sketchs treky.

From the rumblings I have heard the Binder card will be the same Ingrid Pitt auto from the set. A very limited number of binders will contain either the Dual Auto or the Signed Castume Card.

Email from Barrie many months ago....''The final autograph signees list not finalised but are expected to include Barbara
Shelley, Dave Prowse, ingird Pitt, Caroline Munro and possibly Kate O'Mara,Julian Glover and a George Cole double signed card''.
So Vampy....what did happen to the George Cole autograph...!! he has signed for Strictly Ink before...

I think the key word in there was 'possibly'. Julian Glover signed but neither Kate O'Mara nor George Cole appeared in the final set. George Cole signed autographs for Strictly Ink for a 'Minder' set that never happened, so perhaps he was not so keen this time around.

im glad to see the hammer set is helping with the enviroment.scratching your head ? how,well the wrappers are completely bear no text but inside they are printed with the harryhausen details(that never made it out)so a good use of recycling good show chaps.

'Queen of horror' Pitt dies aged 73
(UKPA) – 36 minutes ago
Actress Ingrid Pitt, dubbed Hammer Films' Queen of Horror, has died aged 73, her daughter said.
The Polish-born star collapsed in London last week while on her way to an event hosted by members of her fan club.
Her daughter Steffanie Pitt said she was "a fantastic woman".
Pitt was best known as a seductive screen siren in a string of British horror films including The Vampire Lovers and Countess Dracula.
She also had a minor part in the 1973 cult classic The Wicker Man.
Steffanie Pitt said: "She passed away this morning. It was heart trouble.
"She had a couple of bad years, health-wise, but she had fought through.
"Anyone who knew my mother would say she was incredibly feisty and determined to make a good fist of everything she wanted to do."
Robin Hardy, the director of The Wicker Man, said he had "very good memories" of Pitt.
He said: "She was a very attractive person in every sense. She was a perfectly good actress but a very decent person as well, not that those two things don't often go together."

Listen, I am sure you don't mean it like this but that sounds really crass, the signed cards really are irrelevant when the poor woman has just passed away. The body's not even cold for gods sake. Can you see how this might be a little inappropriate?

Your right about one thing though, it is very sad news.

After reading my post it did come across as inapropriate...that was not my intention in any way...just a fan of the Hammer cards and Ingrid as an actress..

I understood what you meant AUST. I have her signed card from the last Hammer release and I always liked it, but it takes on a special memory now.

It has nothing to do with market value or renewed hobby interest, because thankfully those things are short lived, and I have no respect for people who try to profit on someone's passing. It's more that true fans can have this momento in their collections to remember her by and they will want it for that reason alone. RIP Ingrid.

Anyone know if the Shetches from the "Hammer 2 ULTIMATE BOX" sale in December? Barrie stated about a month for the sketches and no sign yet!

Also, are the J Pearce autograph/redemptions any closer to been sent out?

I've emailed Barrie but not yet had a reply.

yeah,i m slightly annoyed at that, the site had a sketch images were coming soon page , i was desperate to see some katie cook cards but now the page as disappeared,and we're none the wiser

Would you mean these Chief?



Here are 7 of the 15 Katie did.

Hi guys, I'm aware that Andy Frys sketches are with Strictly Ink and that the others should be in any day apparently.

Cool sketches Jason, your Hammer Horror sketch collection must be huge now!!

It is, they are not all mine, two scans from the Auction site, one from the flyer and the other four are mine. Topping 200 sketches now so not too shabby, with more arriving.

200

Guess how many i've got.

Er, less than 200?

Knowing you Wolfie probebly none, but I will have a guess at... three.

Amazingly i do have one and i paid wolfie pounds for it.

It's a Marilyn by NIK from the Breygent set.

Wolfie, you paid???

I thought the world was supposed to end in 2012, but on hearing that devestating news, we're all doomed...

The 200 is only Hammer sketches if you count the others then you are looking at nearer 350.

That means you're going to rook me again then

I have more than that on my desk alone... but I guess that might not count...
