It's a sticker auto -- not a cut. Barbara Bush also signed.

I think this may be the first US President to sign for a card set, although I don't recall the year The Apprentice set came out.

A little aside:
True story, within the first four boxes I bought (all at a discount from the original price, I might add) of 2012 Panini Americana Heroes & Legends, I got the George Bush sticker autograph numbered 41/41 (a quantity chosen because he'd been the 41st President) AND the redemption card for the Dwight Eisenhower Cut Autograph relic card (the relic being a star from his military uniform) that was numbered to 5.

I probably got another 6 or so boxes after that, and pfft, not even one more President autograph in them.

Yeah, that's a good one. I was looking at Fred Haise, Jack Swigert and Ken Mattingly from Apollo 13 to see if they signed anything. Swigert passed away long before autograph cards were a thing.

I'm thinking Trump is probably the first. Apprentice came out in 2005

I'm not supposed to reveal too much of what I know from the future, but for those of you who like autograph cards of Presidents, you might want to pick up a few of the existing cards of actor Jamie Kennedy (found in Breygent Ghost Whisperer & 2021 Leaf Pop Century) who will be elected the 52nd President of the United States in a "The All-New Jamie Kennedy Xperiment" prank gone horribly wrong.

(He will later serve a second, non-consecutive term as the 55th President, but I've said too much already.)

Hmmmmm sounds like you might have some for sale.

Film cast with most non-sport autographs not related to the Film.

I am sure there are others but one of the biggest I put together was Loaded Weapon with 18

Same with TV cast. Deadwood has at least 20

What's the dividing line between "member of cast" and "guest star on multiple episodes"? Does Alice Krige count on Deadwood (appeared on 5 out of 36 episodes)? What about Kristen Bell (2/36)?

Justified had a great guest cast over its run. If you accept anyone who appeared in 4 or more episodes, you come up with 25 (at least, I may have missed a couple). If you pick up those who were in 3 or more, you get to 30. I didn't go through all of the actors who were in 1 or 2 episodes, but I did notice a number of names that I know have signed cards.

So, essentially, any appearance at all? Or do they have to be in every episode of a single season?

For the Big List, add James Cameron (2002) to "Best Picture".

First Swatch/Costume -- see also 2002 Xena: Beauty and Brawn

First Comic Book Artist -- Jim Lee, 1991 Comic Images X-Men (Frazetta didn't sign until 1996, Wrightson 1993).

First Singer -- Julee Cruise, 1991 Twin Peaks

First Classical Musician -- YoYo Ma has a couple of cuts; other than that, I can't think of any classical musicians with signed cards.

First Country Musician. Either Steve Hall, Tracy Lawrence, Mark Miller -- 1991 Sterling Country Gold;
or Alan Jackson, Clint Black, George Jones, Ronnie Milsap -- 1991 Collect-a-Card Country Classics.

Most Tony Awards -- James Earl Jones, 3 (?)

Oldest Walk of Fame -- Milton Berle -- inducted 1950, 1992 Pro Line

First Academy Award acting (Best Actress) nominee -- Piper Laurie 1991 Twin Peaks

Must be in every episode or at least a justified main character which generally gets credit even though they aren't actually in every episode.

I think best picture goes to George Clooney.
First swatch went to Benchwarmers. Xena came out in Dec so it is just an assumption BW came out first. Still checking.

I read the walk of fame didn't come into existence until 1960 where several hundred were inducted. A bit of a road block for that category.

Any category without a recipient can stay open until it does.

Check out the list I just posted....updated a few things.

Star Trek TNG Season 7 2000 Star Threads costume cards.

I think these were first in non-sport.

Looking for signed costume cards. So far 2002 is the birth year. Looking like Benchwarmers and Xena are the only ones.

So Lord knows where, how, or why I ever picked up this card, but it might be a whole other section for signed cards.

Monique Gabrielle, Scream Queens 4, autographed nipple print 400/500.

So there are the first ink print cards of lips and other body parts with autographs too. I think I can remember something like a fingerprint card from somebody and of course the always desired bit of hair card. Some collectors are in for any novelty.

Family team up is a cool category....I like it! I thought Charlie Sheen and Emilio were in the same set?


Not that I think should be a category but just read that Zoe Saldana is the first actor to appear in 4 films making $2B. In spite of the fact that the word appear and Avatar is a bit of a stretch.

Yikes! I did a cut and paste error, and put them in the wrong spots. Consider it a typo, please.

I just said Emilio instead of Charlie because Charlie gets all the hype . . . .
