When Is Getting Someone To Sign Still A Fail? Meeting Danny DeVito But The Autograph Is Just Scribble! Let Me Know What You Guys Think!
So… If someone signs for you and it looks like garbage, especially when you’ve met them before and it was very nice, is that a fail?
I’m wondering that because today, I headed out to meet the iconic Danny DeVito, who I love. He’s such a nice guy and was doing a q and a for one of this new films.
I had three pieces, Mars Attacks, Jewel of the Nile, and Big Fish.
When he arrived, it was a swarm, so much so that Scotty didn’t even put his laserdisc in the fray.
I got Danny DeVito to sign Big Fish for me, since I knew that Mars Attacks would get screwed up with how many people I already have on it, and Jewel of the Nile wouldn’t work because he had a silver pen.
Now, it didn’t help that I asked him to sign “Big Love” and not “Big Fish” listen it’s been a long long long long long week. I need to start drinking more.
What I got… was more like hieroglyphics…
This is the Danny DeVito I got before…. Super awesome.
This one is like scribble.
On the way out, he didn’t do any and was like, “I’m going home!” and sped off. Ouch!
So, I ask and I’m curious what people think… Was this a total fail. I mean, he did sign it, he was nice, but it was chaos.
I’m debating about taking it off the poster but it’s a deco marker…. sooooo… I dunno.
Let me know what you all think!

Ugh… So sorry dude, that looks like crap
Whomp! Fail. I would take that off pronto
Agreed 100% fail. Now a dealer would be fine because the pen touched paper but since collectors and fans care about their pieces I would be pissed
Honestly, that wouldn’t bother me. Sure it’s illegible but it has character and you saw it signed, I’ve gotten some not so great in person graphs and they’ve suited me just fine because the experience I had getting it.
When I look at my collection of posters I can’t tell who the heck signed it 80% of the time!
And to be honest, the first one isn’t exactly legible. Without telling me it was Danny DeVito, I never would have guessed it.
Keep it. Each autograph you collect is a memento of that specific meeting with the star. I can make out a D—-y on top which I supposed to be the Danny. I guess. You got a great one before, so this autograph goes with this story. I love your website. Keep up the great work, Mike.
You mention removing it? Is that possible? How the heck would you do that?
