Two months ago, I shared a collecting tip about using personalization as a way to get a celebrity (or athlete) to give you a nicer signature. Here's tip #2- choose a unique photo. Most of the time, the celebrity has seen the same photo poses over and over again, and they get used to signing them. However, when you present them with a unique photo, more than likely, they will pause and look at the photo a bit, and then carefully place a nice, full signature on it.
Below is an example of two photos signed by actor Jim Parsons. I'm betting he hasn't had many fans ask him to sign the laboratory photo of himself (left), but he's probably seen more than his fair share of the "Big Bang Theory" laptop photo (right). Both of these shots were signed on the same day and at the same time (one right after the other), but the unique photo features a neatly placed, full signature while the other is just "J Parsons". This is just an observation, and of course, your personal experience may vary. Now it's your turn, collectors: What are your experiences with signature quality and graphing in-person? Please share. We'd love to hear your thoughts! J.R.
