Hi there, I am just wondering if anyone knows why Sarah Michelle Geller never signed for any series?Also did pretty much the whole cast sign for buffy but her?

All I know is that she repeatedly said no. Inkworks tried several times with her, from what I understand.

Seth Green never signed either, reportedly because he doesn't want people to profit from his signature.

That's to bad. I understand the whole not wanting to profit from there signature, but there's fans out there who would really appreciated it.

If she was asked today I wonder what she'd say?

'No'

LoL I am gonna say she would probably lean to Yes, Seeing how her popularity has gone down. I can't even remember her last movie was.

Didn't she recently have that CW show "The Ringer" which was cancelled very quickly ?

It garnered decent ratings for a CW show and lasted an entire season but didn't get a second season pick up. Apparently, she is currently involved in the development of a sitcom.

Yes Ringer got cancelled.
I did read the other day that SMG has be cast in a new series somewhere....

Hopefully it lasts longer than one season.

We should also remember that SMG was barely out of her teens when Buffy started and may have been advised by others (including her agent) to avoid having her signature out there in that way. Inkworks probably stopped asking her after the first couple of refusals.

I think you're being kind.

Some celebrities see autograph signing as an invasion of their private lives. Personally I would be honored if anyone wanted my signature on anything other than a check.

Maybe fan adoration gets old fast.

People have different reasons for not signing. Sometimes it's unclear as to the reason why they won't do it

For instance, 4 of the 6 James Bond actors have signed for Rittenhouse sets (George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig)

Sean Connery has declined, possibly because he's 82 and probably can't be bothered at this point.

It's unclear as to why Timothy Dalton hasn't signed. He seems like a good sport and still does interviews about Bond and appears at Bond events. Who knows ?

I don't know either why she didn't sign, it just a little sad that she didn't. The Buffy sets don't quite feel complete without her signature unfortunately.

I think Dalton will sign before long but Connery never will.

SMG refused to sign for Inkworks but maybe willing to work with a diffrent company.

The way I see it the ones who won't sign for a set are a bit arrogant.

Regardless of whether or not anyone would profit from it, they should do it for the fans of said property.

Otherwise it is a slap in the face to their fans, IMHO.

It's quite possible that the stars are willing to sign but the offer to do so never makes it past their business manager or agent. That is apparently why Jorge Garcia never signed for any of the Lost sets.

In a way, I'm almost glad that Connery hasn't / won't sign cards.

He'd sign a small number. They'd become 6-case incentives. They'd be in the hands of dealers, not collectors.

I'd rather have a gap in the collection than have an unattainable chase.

Yes that would definitely be something to ponder, I would love some sort of Quotable chase set to be included for sure.
