Description: Eileen Atkins autograph and hand outline in black felt pen, signed “Good luck, Eileen Atkins” near the bottom of the hand, with a slip of paper reading “With compliments, Eileen Atkins”; she is an English actress who was born June 16, 1934, in London, England. She was named Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2001.HISTORYI got this back in the 1990s when I was active in autograph collecting. I always enjoyed visiting the Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, where I could see the actual handprints of the stars in cement. I decided to make my own collection, and maybe even make a book out of it. I started writing letters to celebrities, and most of them were nice enough to respond. Some sent simple hand outlines, while others sent more elaborate messages. It was a fun project. Overall, I managed to acquire more than 100 examples. I've enjoyed them for a long time. Now I want to break up this collection, so individual collectors can get something special from their favorite celebrity.SOURCEWho am I, you ask? My name is Michael Johnson, a former autograph collecting superfreak. I've always been interested in this fascinating hobby. My Mom even collected autographs in the 1950s, so I guess it's in my blood. In my heyday, I published my own newsletters, including "Autograph Research" and "Space Autograph News." I wrote articles for "Autograph Collector," "The Pen and Quill," and many other great publications. My most recent book is "Playing Cards Autographed By Magicians: A Collectors Guide" which you can get on Amazon.I think you'll like this special item! It's rare and unique. If you buy it, I'll ship it carefully with thick cardboard and a plastic cover to protect it. Thanks for taking a moment to read my listing.
