Mr. Hooper 1,793 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 1 hour ago, Amer said: Yep. I sent some to him[SS] to sign but all got returned back unopened. He's the one big hole in my 'Jaws' autograph collection. There's lots on eBay, but I have no idea which are genuine. He has this scrawl that he mostly does that is pretty easy to fake, so I'm hesitant to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually at that time he's signed even fuller autograph to me on a Jurassic Park lithograph - which is extremely rare. It was only me and one more collector so Steven was very nice and accommodating. He is actually really nice and likes interactions with fans if it's a calm crowd and people are not yelling, pushing etc. Mr. Hooper and WilliamsStarShip2282 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hooper 1,793 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 This autograph is up on eBay with no reserve and a $1 opening bid, and it looks good. It's also on the usual white-bordered photo Williams signs to send through the mail. Good luck! Gary V and Amer 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glancing over their website, I don’t even see a way to contact their marketing department specifically, but then I also have no idea what I’d say to them to get an autograph either.

I wrote to their PR dept requesting to kindly send me Williams signed copy. You just have to write convincingly and politely. It worked for me..TWICE! Okay here is my email from my archives with some contacts from 2017..which I wrote to and received: Bernadette Horgan • BHorgan@bso.org I will be out of the office until Monday, September 11. If you need a response between September 1 and 4, please contact Taryn Lott at tlott@bso.org or 617-638-9283; after September 4, please contact Sam Brewer at sbrewer@bso.org or 617-638-9284. Thanks. Be well. Bernadette, 617-510-0597. Dear Bernadette, I received the John Williams signed picture today. Thank you all. I'm truly honored.

I understand Maestro Williams will also be conducting a concert this year on May 31st and 1st June.

Mr. Hooper 1,793 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 It looks like that shady eBay seller from Belgium has pulled all his auctions, and his inexhaustible supply of John Williams autographs. Good riddance, especially since his forgeries were somewhat convincing and could've fooled some people. But another big red flag were his prices. He had photos triple signed by Williams, Spielberg, and Lucas for a Buy It Now price of just $90. rpvee and A. A. Ron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
