#7 Steve - I am honestly not sure. The others on here have heard this before but in 2007 I sold a lot of autographs to fund a quick house move, so our daughter (autistic adult with learning difficulties and hyperacusis) could access better services in a different area. Amongst the items sold were my first EE collection, my signed Dr Who DVDs (every one released to that point), and my custom signed Dr Who 8x5 inch cards. There were 585 of the cards covering people from every story ever made up to Last Of The Time Lords. There were some rare ones and many no longer with us.
I still have all my signed letters, index cards and other photos from those first collecting days, plus my autograph book from my youth that contains sigs obtained at the 1978/79 Panopticon Conventions. This was the only item from my early Who memorabilia not taken during a break-in when we had stuff in storage while my dad had the house rebuilt. It also survived being chewed by one of our dogs a few years fater this. Some pages still have teeth marks. A real K9 experience! 🙂
After the 2007 sale I had not planned to collect Who graffs again, but have always loved the show so much I could not resist. I started writing again towards the end of Tennant's era, and dabbled with a few early formats of mty 4x6 photos, then stuck on my theme. I have them spread over four albums (each holding up to 200), and this week my Matt Smith album was filled 100% and I have spilled into a new album. I send these to people dating back to An Unearthly Child.
With these, and everything from before there are many hundreds of Who related autographs in my collection. The old dog chewed auto book is still my most treasured item. It includes a few people no longer with us amongst others - Jon Pertwee, Ian Marter and Nicholas Courtney.
