First off apologies if this topic has already been covered, there was so much to read when I got back, that I kind of scanned through.

I was just wondering if anyone knew whether all of Billy Drago's autograph cards were different, or if there are so many of each card. I have just been going through Ebay and every card of his I've seen has something different on it, and these are different to the scans that are up at Warp9.

I was going to suggest if people didn't mind, posting what was on their BD card so we could have a kind of master list, but if he's managed to write something different on every card that's going to be a very long post.

I have to say when I first saw the list of who was signing he wasn't on my 'must have, have got to have that card' list. But now he makes the top five. For someone to take that time and effort whilst signing, puts certain other signers to shame.

Lesley

For anyone who may be interested, or for those who are sad like me, here are the one's I've seen so far.

Choose the sweet taste of fear or suffer the bitterness of regret.
The story of fear is always an autobiography.
Yours to fear
Ride the train of fear to the final station.
Fear is a sweet smell.
Yours in fear.
Only the sin eater is friends with the ghost of fear.
Fear does not end with death.
The aura of fear lights the darkness.
And all my days are trances.
He placed a strawberry in front of every candle.
Savor your fear.
Fear can tickle your funny bone.
In the end only fear will remain.
Keep your fear wrapped about you.
Fear and Kisses love...

when i finally get my Charmed in i will post any variants of the Billy Drago auto card (if I get any).

Leslie -
You are not sad, because I too am interested in having a master list of his auto variations (or maybe I am sad too) I didn't even know who he was until I saw his auto and then remembered his character. But now that I see how much time he spent on his cards - I must have his autograph card - maybe a few. I think it's great that he spent so much time on them!

Lesley - I cant help yet as i'm still waiting for my case to turn up. As soon as it does i'll post any variants.

.... I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day, and tomorrow isn't looking good either....

I got one that says: "In the end only fear will remain"

Welcome to the NSU board. This may just be coincidence but did you by any chance just snag a charmed A14 auto on ebay?

Willow: "Yeah, I-I know, but... it's a whole night. I don't think I can sleep without her."
Anya: "You can sleep with me. Well, now that came out a lot more lesbian than it sounded in my head."

Yes,

I got a case of charmed and didn't get a14.


Thanks for the welcome!

Hi Blackhood,

I've added your variant to the list, hope you don't mind.

I'm hoping to get a variant of my own, but my boxes haven't arrived yet. And seeing as how I suffer from reverse force, my chances are probably low, but I'm still looking forward to opening my boxes.

Lesley

Hi LesleyW,

Don't mind at all, this way it will be a complete list or a close to complete list of all the variants. Good luck on your boxes!

It was one of the reasons for my recent poll regarding "Autograph Card Variations"CLICK HERE to vote. When LadyX post in the "Charmed: Power OF Three" topic thread about the Billy Drago variations ( CLICK HERE) and the current 9 variations (so far), I wanted to poll Card Talk members to see how they felt when an autograph signer made variations to their autograph card.

- Autograph Card variations are not new. AS I mentioned in my poll, Richard Kiel added varying messages to his "Twilight ZOne" cards. (Not sure if he did to his "James Bond 40th Anniversary" set.) Joe Don Baker had 3 variations to his "James Bond 40th Anniversary" autograph cards. Jack Osbourne added various doodles to his "Osbournes" autograph card picture.

- Signers sometimes do this because of boredom. So do it to be unique or different. Some do it as a little something extra to their fans and collectors of their cards.

"I am a WATCHER, part of a secret society of men and women who observe and record but never interfere, we know the truth about immortals ....... In the end there can be only one !"

There is a Billy Drago card on eBay now with the inscription "Keep your fear wrapped about you."

I haven't gotten my cards yet, but should I not get a Billy Drago auto card (and I hope I won't; I want Rose McGowan *really* bad) I'm going to pick one up in San Diego.

Holy Autograph Card variants, Batman

- That brings the total autograph message variants count to 15. Well I guess this card holds the record for largest number of known (intentional) variants on an autograph card.

Hiya

I have "Fear and Kisses" love Billy Drago.

I am still waiting for a couple of boxes too.

Lou xox

"By your command, Imperious Leader"

Not quite, Dan. I've already seen two on Ebay that both said "Yours in Fear"

At least we know they're not ALL different.

Yeah, the same quote, but were they in the same spot on the card?
