jaymassive619---------> I totally agree with you!! .. I have several MOC cards signed but I prefer the way this one looks!!
Quick fact : Mark Hamill was doing $100 signature instead of his usual 150-200 !! LOL!!

Joe_O-----------------> Thanks!! , glad that we have agreed on that one!! ... Yes I have a section dedicated to some things, But I´m already short of space!!

Capetown-------------> Thanks!!!

ctscanman68---------> Thanks!!.... the best is yet to come!!! , I really enjoy viewing everybody´s collections, but I think a quick shot of the entire collection takes away the magic!!

Artoo_Detour-----------> Yes you are right!!! , who didn´t want to be Luke Skywalker??? ..... Only M. Hamill!!!

DarthStanley-----------> Thanks! ... My numero uno is my dream come true !!!!

Number 9th & 10th on it´s way!!!

Still looking fantastic Adolfo. Love the Yodas. What a great price!!!

I actually look forward to this limelight every day. I think this is the way all limelights should be done. Problem is having the pieces to do it hehe.

Everyone's pretty much echo'ed my thoughts and absolute awe of an amazing collection. The only thing is I keep going back to the picture of Mark Hamill and just freezing in fear!

TOP TEN Collectables from "My Collection"

Here goes number 9 of my collection........ Is not an action figure, but I just love, and I personally enjoyed the story behind it!!!

#6 DT Luke Skywalker sign by Mark Hamill
#7 Wicket / Squid head
#8 Proof cards ( Revenge of the Jedi)
#9 USPS Frame with the Star Wars Stamps "First Day of Issue" May 25,2007 L.A., CALIFORNIA U.S.A. (Without cancellation of stamps!!!!) and official USPS seal with "First Day of Issue" May 25,2007 L.A., CALIFORNIA U.S.A.on the back!

LEIA BESPIN KENNER ESB 32 BACK B AFA70... ..CARRIE FISHER....This one , was probably the 2nd or 3rd action figure that I sent to AFA back in 2007.... big mistake!!!!.... I was a rookie!!! ...I didn´t know that AFA consider an autograph ( real or false ) a major flaw, so the highest grade it can achieve = AFA 70 , This Action Figure was easily a 85!!!..... 2 years later, AFA created the Q grade ( So now I can resend it and I´m sure it will get that 85!!)..LOL!!


REBEL SOLDIER KENNER ESB 32 BACK A AFA80......JACK MCKENZIE... Learning my lesson, I just ask them to sign the Acrylic!


DARTH VADER KENNER ROTJ 77 BACK A AFA85.....DAVID PROWSE


CHEWBACCA KENNER ROTJ 65 BACK B AFA85.......PETER MAYHEW


BIKER SCOUT KENNER ROTJ 65 BACK A AFA80......FRANK HENSON



Here is number 9 ........USPS Frame with the Star Wars Stamps "First Day of Issue" May 25,2007 L.A., CALIFORNIA U.S.A. (Without cancellation of stamps!!!!)
Story behind this frame..... Quick Fact...Any first Day of issue stamp has to be canceled in order to be "official" ..... Going back to the story..... This story will sound very familiar for those who went to the USPS store at CIV very early the opening day, It was around 9:30am and I was waiting for the store to be opened, probably I was like the 10th on line, after waiting like 30 or 40 minutes It was finally my turn, I start to buy tons of items when somebody noticed the quick fact I wrote before and start to complain, a very young supervisor arrived and quickly pull out a seal from a box that was marked as the "Official cancellation stamp" ...( one with Vader´s Helmet ) , BIG USPS MISTAKE.... they forgot to stamp all the Frames and Stamps from the Store, but there were already like 10 people complaining about it , so I start complaining also!, so this supervisor found an easy way to solve the problem, hand the seal to every single one of us, and he told us to use a table that was located in the back of the store!!, so everybody start stamping their own things without any control! , after 10 minutes it was finally my turn and there were already 2 other persons behind me waiting for the seal, so I grab the seal and stamp this frame in the front, but the glass didn´t let the ink to stay on it , so I repeat that procedure 2 more times with the same result, finally I turn around my frame and stamp it on the Back ..... when I heard somebody shouting several times "LEAVE THAT SEAL IN THE TABLE!!!! .... THAT´S US FEDERAL PROPERTY!!..... I didn´t look , but I thought to myself , DAMN, who is stealing something from the USPS store????, but I started to hear it closer and closer to me, when finally I look up and saw this Old lady wearing a USPS uniform with 2 Cops beside her shouting at me , but at the same time she was weaving to the USPS staff working on there asking why the hell I had the seal, immediately I put the seal over the table and walk towards her to explain the story, meanwhile the 2 Cops grab the seal and gave it to the Old lady, it turns that the old Lady was in charge of USPS in L.A. and that seal was supposed to be used only by USPS staff to cancel stamps inside their store......well after all this and making long story short, as far as I know this is the only item that has the Official USPS Cancellation seal stamped in other place that is not in the stamps!!


AND HERE IS THE BACK WITH THAT BEAUTIFUL STAMP.....SIGN BY ALMOST ALL OF THE SW ACTORS!!! ( FROM SW, ESB AND ROTJ)

70 or not the Leia is awesome, don't bother sending it in again (although the Q grade will not improve it, its for items that have been opened like playsets or vehicles, AFA assess and confirm the pieces are all there then put it back in the box and give it an overall grade.)

Keep the 70 and the great figure, who collects those numbers on a sticker anyway!?!
