1:36
three bucks worth of UK postage for the

1:41
his representative in the US and they
1:43
then sent it to me and uh you know not
1:46
only did he send it back but he paid
1:48
extra to send this certified mail uh
1:50
which cost him as you can see here $18
1:53
out of the man's own pocket which was uh
1:56
very generous of him uh he signed both
1:58
of my index cards tim all the best
2:01
Charlie Cox and then of course he sent
2:03
this image as well this was his own
2:04

small for it so it did unfortunately
2:08
have to get folded in half but uh Salvie
2:11
I really appreciate that he sent me this
2:13

6:41
Sharpie right here uh a little post-it
6:43
note saying I don't recall how the voice
6:46
came about um for Teen Ninja Turtles but
6:50
um that's in reference because I sent a
6:51
little bit of a Q&A uh unfortunately
6:53
didn't have time to get to that but he
6:55
did have time to sign two photos for me
6:57
um absolutely lovely gentleman so thank
7:00
you very much Sab all right so I've
7:02
never gotten a response from a queen
7:03
before but now I can say that I actually
7:06
have so this one is from Queen Farah
7:08
Palvi she was the queen of Iran back in
7:12
the day before you know it's its current
7:13
crazy modern state but uh regardless of
7:17
that uh she was very kind and I sent her
7:19
two index cards and uh she signed uh not
7:23
these are not the index cards she signed
7:24
two of these like 5x7 uh very nice
7:27
matted I don't know pieces of paper but
7:30
they're very cool uh for me Tim Santins
7:34
uh from Far and it's very cool success
7:37
super happy with it um so thank you very
7:40
much all right this month I didn't do
7:43
super hot with the play bills but I did
7:44
get two one signed by the cast of Sumo
7:48
another one just a plain old play bill
7:49
unsigned from the cast of English uh
7:52
this one did have Tala Ash in the play
7:55
unfortunately she didn't sign the play
7:56
bill but I did send her a response
7:58
individually and she did sign two photos
8:01
for me so let's get into that one all
8:04
right as promised Tala Ash here she
8:06
signed two photos for me uh this is the
8:09
first one and a nice silver i think it
8:10
came out really good uh same for this
8:13
one um also nice silver Sharpie she
8:16
signed via the same play that we just
8:18
saw English and uh she was very kind so
8:21
thank you very much Tall i appreciate
8:22
that one all right here we got one from
8:24
a Disney voice actress this one is Leah
8:27
Salona she did the singing voice for
8:29
Princess Jasmine and of course Mulan so
8:33
yeah Mulan had a voice actress for all
8:35
the speaking parts but then she had a
8:36
different voice actress for the singing
8:38
roles which um Leah did for both of
8:41
these characters so uh she was on
8:43
Broadway and I wrote to her she signed
8:45
both of these photos very beautifully
8:47
for me so thank you very much i'm a big
8:49
Disney fan and uh you know can't go
8:51
wrong and can't resist when there's a
8:54
Disney voice actor or voice actress on
8:56
Broadway of course true to my word here
8:58
is another response from a Disney voice
9:00
actress this time from Judy she was
9:03
the voice actress again the singing
9:05
voice for Pocahontas uh and as well she
9:08
was also coincidentally on Broadway at
9:10
the same time so I got to send her two 8
9:13
by10 photos she signed both of them and
9:16
uh yeah that makes two voice actresses
9:18
from the Disney uh princesses for my
9:21
collection uh just in the last month so
9:23
pretty cool all right here's a cool one
9:25
from Kathleen Daniel she's an artist and
9:27
she contributed to the Star Wars Galaxy
9:30
trading card series uh basically this is
9:32
a longrunning series starting back in
9:34
the 90s and still going on today and
9:36
they feature art from the Star Wars
9:38
universe and um a lot of this art is um
9:42
you know brand new to the series and
9:44
some of it's taken from stuff that's
9:46
been previously used but I have a big
9:48
collection of artist signed cards from
9:50
this series and Kathleen Daniels is the
9:53
latest one that I've added haven't added
9:55
too many recently but I'm super happy to
9:56
get another one always adding to my big
9:59
grown collection um Kathleen was kind
10:01
enough to sign three cards for me um
10:03
didn't quite have time to answer my
10:04
questions but uh that's okay you know
10:07
I'm super happy with getting the cards
10:09
back signed all right here's a cool one
10:11
this one from Tony Larusa i actually had
10:13
a box of autographed baseball cards and
10:16
this ticket stub was just like hanging
10:18
out in there didn't say like what teams
10:20
or anything were on it so I looked up
10:22
the series looked up the game three uh
10:24
for 1988 World Series and I found out
10:26
that Tony Larusa uh was the manager for
10:30
one of the teams back then so I sent him
10:32
a request asked him to sign and boom
10:33
here it is i got a signed ticket stub
10:36
from 1988 signed by Tony Larusa so
10:38
pretty happy with that one all right
10:40
we're going to kind of rapid fire
10:41
through some of these last ones these
10:42
are just signed index cards uh I'm just
10:45
going to go over them real quick here we
10:46
got Jan Debont Abby Trot who is a
10:49
wonderful voice actress uh not only just
10:51

10:53
little note here very cool of her uh

11:04
Charnie and of course not last but not
11:07
least for this group Haley Atwell now I
11:10
would have loved to get her on an 8 by10
11:11
i saw some beautifully signed 8 by10s uh
11:13
by Haley of course from the MCU uh but
11:17
this was all the way to the UK i'm in
11:19
the US so that would have been very cost
11:21
prohibitive so I was not able to send
11:23
her a photo but hey I'll take a signed
11:25
index card i love that i can always
11:26
frame it with a nice photo so happy with
