Weeks Successes (6/18 - 6/24)

WOW! What a week I had! Got a bunch of goodies this week. I just hope they are all legit and not secretarial! :-x Oh well. I guess in this hobby, you just never know unless you get in persons :) I also added another "Lost" success to my collection and a few more Pirates autographs too! That makes 27 "Lost" characters and guests and 668 different Pirates! :)

Received: 6/2/06
Comments: Must have missed the boat on this one. She kept my "ER" photo, but did include a signed 8" x 10" Black & White photo. She has probably been bombarded with requests now so she probably pre-signed a big stack of these photos. I thought it was a pre-print or autopen at first, but when I compare it to the other requests on Star Archive, the signature differs. :) Still a great success, but would have loved to have my "ER" photo signed :)
