Autographed Gaming Merch, got any?

[Frankie_Says_Relax]

In this day and age, game programmers, designers, artists, voice-over actors, and internet video pundits are not unlike celebrities. So, it shouldn't be surprising that - as fans and celebrities have been doing for years, autographing memorabilia has really begun to trickle over into our hobby as a more commonplace occurrence.

That's an all to familiar (and pretty painful) story, with autographed game merch at it's core.

I've even found myself taking opportunities to snag a few well-placed autographs for my collection in recent years including the following ...

Dan and Garry Kitchen, lead programmers for Activision during it's Atari 2600 years

... do any of you have noteworthy autographed game-related merch?? If so, lets see it!!

I have a signed 2600, Pitfall, a signed copy of Warhammer for the N-gage, and for a wierd one, a numbered signed copy of the 3DO game D import.

Is the signature on the acutal N-Gage cartridge? That would be awesome...and very very hard to read.

No pics?

[Sniderman]

I have a Space Ace DVD signed by Don Bluth and a birthday card signed by Nolan Bushnell.

[nestlekwik]

All I have that is even close to an item like this is an event poster signed by Walter Day. If I am able to start attending events again in the near future, I'm hoping to actually score a few more signatures.

[Pantechnicon]

A few 2600 carts, mostly Rob Fulop's games and assorted Activision titles. I also have a 2600 Jr signed by Al Alcorn and a 4-port Atari 5200 signed by Rob Zdybel (programmed the 5200 BIOS). No pictures available at the present, sorry.

[ssjlance]

I have a copy of Double Dragon III signed by Terry.

[Mayhem]

Great stuff! Ah, Forbidden Forrest! That one really brings back great memories of the C64.

[Nitrosport]

I have a magnavox odyssey autographed by Ralph Baer.

[Frankie_Says_Relax]

Everybody's stuff sounds awesome ...

photos would be much appreciated, and I'm sure other DP members would enjoy seeing them.

[Nitrosport]

I'll check if I have a pic on my camera. If not, I'll take one in about an hour when I go to the storage.

Ok, I found one:

[skaar]

I've got a Guitar Hero II poster from E3 signed by "Judy Nails" ;-)

heh

[Cinder6]

I've got some stuff signed by Working Designs' former president (Victor Ireland), but that's it.

EDIT: Those things would be:

Lunar 1 & 2 (Sega CD)
Magic Knight Rayearth
Shining Wisdom
Lunar SSSC manual
Lunar SSSC counter card
Dragon Force

[PapaStu]

I've got a pair of signed games that I picked up at two different GameStops over the last few years.

Bards Tale for the XBox seemingly signed by the entire development company. Cost me 12 bucks, found in a NW Chicago suburb EB.

Maximo Vs. Army of Zin signed by the creators of the game. Cost me 29 bucks, found in the big San Jose GS (mere miles from Capcom's home office).

I've got pics floating around on my computer at home. I'll get em tossed up a little later.

[otaku]

Man some cool stuff you guys have. I keep seeing and wanting to buy some sega saturn games that are signed (including working designs stuff) but I need another saturn (and all my games back)

[YoshiM]

Only thing I have is the book "Confessions of the Game Doctor" signed by Bill Kunkel. Although I did get "Phosphor Dot Fossils: The DVD" that has the disc autographed by our own PDF, so does that count? :D

[Viraneth]

All I got close to that is the Wobbl and Bob season 1 dvd signed by Weebl and Skoo.
Not related to games really, but you know, I don't get to see many game celebreties... ever... I meet race car drivers amd athletes, never any game developers or designers... :(

[ProgrammingAce]

I have a debug xbox 360 signed by the hardware development team right before they were all sacked. (kidding)

There are some really (really!) good items in this post, & I was a bit of a skeptic too!

(EDIT: er, apologies for not having/owning any signed merchandise)

Same here. I guess there are too many of those to ever sell at high prices :/

[Rogmeister]

I have some autographed photos and books. I used to have more but sold some. But I kept some including a few books autographed by my favorite comics artist, Curt Swan. And I kept some by personal favorites including autographed photos of Johnny Cash and Jodie Foster.

No pics?

I finally got around to taking some pics. Instead of Warhammer, I have a signed and sealed copy of Rifts. I also took pics of My Billy Mitchell signed hotsauce, My Blue Sky Rangers signed Intellivision Lives, My signed copy of D #89 of 100, My 2600 signed by Steve Mayer, My signed copy of Pitfall by David Crane(one of my first video games in my collection), and a 2004 show program signed by almost every speaker there.
