I wanted to update a project I've been working on for the last few years. It all started off with a chance to get the main cast of the show to autograph an item. I make custom cards and figured it would be really cool to get something I made I signed by the cast. The signing took place over a few months and all of my cards were returned to me each time by the promoter of the signing . I now had Ed O'Neill, Katey Sagal, Christina Applegate, David Faustino, Amanda Bearse, and Ted McGinley. I really wanted to complete the main cast set so I decided to make a few cards and send them off David Garrison's agent. A few months later they were returned to me and my main cast set was now complete. It was so kind of Mr. Garrison to sign my cards I was truly thankful. I thought why not try this for a few other cast members as well. I signed up to a site that helped track celebrities so I could send them my cards and a fan letter. I was successful in getting most of them back, but soon they stopped getting returned and it was getting costly sending with none coming back. I moved on to sending the cards to fellow collectors I'm friendly with so they could be signed at shows. I was only getting so far and there were a few celebrities that passed away that I could just never obtain this way. I began removing the signed stickers from certified trading cards and putting them on my own creations. I found there were so many signed cards that weren't on stickers that I wanted to add to my collection. I decided to seek out cut signatures and certified trading cards of actors and actresses that had a brief appearance on the show. Some of the cut signatures came from photos, books, envelopes, Playbill's, index cards, etc. I was also lucky enough to be able to send a few cards to the fellow who handles Ed O'Neill's signings. I made 8 cards that Ed signed and inscribed for me. This was a paid service through a private signing and worth every penny!
While it's not completed and may very well never be, I do believe it's the most comprehensive set ever assembled with over 150 autographs.
Enjoy the show!!!
