Hello and welcome to another episode of
0:01
Tales from the Collection. On this
0:03
channel, we like to do through the mail
0:05
autograph collecting, which is basically
0:07
sending fan mail to celebrities, actors,
0:10
athletes, all kinds of public figures,
0:12
and also requesting an autograph by
0:14
sending a self-addressed return envelope
0:16
so they can easily send it back to us.
0:18
And you'd be surprised by how many
0:20
successes we actually get. Um, I
0:23
typically do these once every 3 months
0:24
or so. So, you're going to see about the
0:26
last three months of successes that I've
0:28
had where celebrities have actually
0:29
responded to me, typically sending
0:31
autographs, sometimes writing nice notes
0:34
or responding to interview questions.
0:35
So, let's go ahead and dive in and see
0:38
some of these awesome successes that
0:39
we've received. First off, we've got an
0:41
excellent success. This one coming from
0:42
Payton List, of course, of Cobraai fame.
0:45
If you watch the Karate Kid series, then
0:48
you'll know her very well. She signed
0:49
three autographs for me. Very nice of
0:52
her. Uh, I got this first one. Two of
0:54
them dedicated to me to Tim Pton List.
0:57
Big, bold, beautiful signature on there.
0:59
Got the two X's on there. Nice one right
1:03
here from Payton List. And another one,
1:05
a third one dedicated as well. Really
1:07
cool to get all three of these signed
1:09
from her. I mean, she's one of my
1:10
favorite actresses on the series. And
1:12
I've seen her definitely multiple times
1:14
at conventions. Uh, seen her doing
1:16
panels, Q& A's, and she's a really cool,
1:18
sweet person. And obviously that uh
1:20
translates into the through the mail
1:22
world as well. She was kind enough to do
1:23
this for me for free. So, thank you very
1:25
much, Peyton. Appreciate that. Up next,
1:27
we've got race car driver Sheena Monk.
1:30
Uh she was very sweet to me. Uh she
1:32
signed two photos for me. Number 66
1:34
here. Both of these signed when with her
1:37
uh race car driver number as well. Not
1:40
only that, she also write this very nice
1:42
note. And not only that, but I did send
1:45
her some interview questions. And I
1:47
mean, look at how in-depth and detailed
1:49
these answers are kind of front and back
1:51
here. If you want to take a look at
1:53
them, you can head over to tails
1:54
fromtheollection.com/ins.
1:56
You can see those answers as well as
1:59
interviews with all kinds of other
2:00
people who I've been able to have the
2:02
privilege of interviewing through the
2:03
mail uh for, you know, now a year. So,
2:06
there's quite a number of interviews on
2:07
there and some really cool stuff. Uh
2:09
Sheena Mon awesome answers. Took her
2:12
time answering those questions. I really
2:13
appreciate that. took her time signing
2:15
these signatures. Just came out
2:17
beautiful. Really appreciate her time
2:19
and her patience with doing that. Very
2:21
cool of her to do. All right, switching
2:23
up a little bit. Going from the actors
2:24
this time to an artist. I'm a really big
2:26
Final Fantasy fan. Uh it's a video game
2:28
for those of you who don't know. Uh and
2:31
one of my other favorite games, the
2:32
collectible card game Magic the
2:33
Gathering. Recently did a collab with
2:35
them and I went ahead and I asked John
2:38
Tyler Christopher, one of the artists
2:39
behind the series, to uh sign a couple
2:41
cards for me, as you can see here. And
2:43
again, asked him to do some interview
2:44
questions, which you can also find on
2:45
tails from tails
2:46
fromthecollection.com/ins.
2:48
And um yeah, it was really awesome. He
2:51
was a super cool guy. Signed all six
2:52
cards for me, answered my questions. Uh
2:55
really gave me some cool insight onto
2:56
how the creative process works with
2:58
doing these collectible trading card
3:00
games. All right, here we got one from
3:01
Bo Bridges. Uh he's an actor. I know him
3:04
best from the '9s film The Wizard. Um,
3:08
you know, if you were a kid like me
3:09
growing up playing Nintendo, uh, there
3:11
wasn't a whole lot of story, but a movie
3:13
like The Wizard really kind of helped to
3:15
flesh out the kind of world of video
3:17
games back then. And, um, yeah, as you
3:20
can see from the last success and from
3:22
this one, I love video games, man. And
3:24
especially the retro ones, I love
3:26
getting some of that nostalgia. And
3:27
Boers was kind enough to sign two photos
3:30
for me. Um, really would love to get uh
3:33
Jenny Lewis right here, who's now best
3:36
known as a musician for Milo Kylie, but
3:39
here she was as a kid. I'd love to add
3:41
her to this one next, but thanks very
3:43
much, Bo. Appreciate it. All right, as
3:44
you can tell from this one, uh, it's a
3:46
New Year's card, so I did get it back a
3:48
number of months ago, towards the
3:50
beginning of the new year. This one is
3:51
from Mi Tamazawa. She's a voice actress,
3:54
of course. She was a voice actor for
3:56
Sakura Wars and uh the very popular
3:59
anime Sailor Moon. She was the one of
4:01
the uh the original voice actor for
4:03
Sailor Mercury. So, um yeah, badass
4:08
response all the way from Japan. Really
4:09
appreciate it. She signed one index card
4:13
uh with the Sailor Moon voice actor and
4:15
then another one as a Sakura Wars voice
4:17
actor. So, uh these would go really
4:20
nicely in two separate frames. Um but
4:23
yeah, absolutely love her for doing
4:25
that. And of course, um you know,
4:27
typically in America, things get written
4:29
left to right. In Japan, it's more from
4:31
top to bottom. So, she signed these in
4:34
the uh portrait mode rather than the
4:36
landscape kind of that you would see
4:38
with other typically how you would see
4:41
with index cards signed by American
4:43
people. So, yeah, cool thing there. All
4:45
right, next up is a success from Garrick
4:48
Hagen. Of course, he played Big's Dark
4:50
Lighter, which is I don't think in my
4:51
opinion the coolest name in Star Wars.
4:53
And there's some cool names. I mean,
4:54
Skywalker is pretty awesome, but Big's
4:56
Dark Lighter, I mean, that's pretty sick
4:58
in my opinion. Uh, so I think he wins
5:01
that award. But, uh, yeah, he was super
5:02
kind enough to sign three autographs for
5:05
me on two vintage trading cards and one
5:07
modern one. And, um, you know, as far as
5:10
Star Wars signer goes, this guy has been
5:13
in the through the mail game responding
5:15
to fans for many, many years. because
5:18
he's one of the OG guys who just consist
5:20
cons consistently responds and he's such
5:22
a good guy to his fans. So, really
5:24
appreciate Garrett for doing that. All
5:25
right, here we got one from Lyanna
5:27
Stark, actress Eling Francois. And uh
5:30
this one went all the way to the UK.
5:32
This one came back to me from across the
5:33
pond. She was kind enough to sign three
5:35
cards for me. Two of them kind of came
5:37
back a little bit rough with the the ink
5:39
kind of smearing off. Uh one came out
5:41
pretty good though. So, um you know, but
5:44
all three of them look pretty sweet. I
5:46
really appreciate her taking the time to
5:47
do that. Wrote me a little note here on
5:49
my um my index card there. I had them
5:52
two index cards taped together. Uh put
5:55
all the cards in there. You can see the
5:56
ink kind of ripped off in the envelope
5:58
there. You know, that's the way it goes
6:00
sometimes. But um yeah, really
6:02
appreciate her signing for me. Was a big
6:04
help for my Game of Thrones collection.
6:06
All right, the Star Wars actors are not
6:07
disappointing this time around. We got
6:09
another great success from Julian
6:11
Glover. Of course, he is well known for
6:14
his roles in Game of Thrones, but as
6:16
well Indiana Jones and Star Wars. Uh, of
6:19
course, I love Game of Thrones, but I
6:21
also really love Indiana Jones and Star
6:22
Wars. So, kind of went with those
6:24
trading cards. Sent him two of each. Was
6:26
kind enough to sign all four for me. So,
6:28
that was really, really nice. Thank you
6:30
very much, Julian. All right. I think
6:31
you can sense a theme here. We have
6:33
another Magic the Gathering artist. This
6:35
time, Liz Danforth. I sent her four
6:38
cards, actually. But you might say, "Oh,
6:40
wait. Oh, there's five cards here. Well,
6:42
uh, Liz was very kind and she sent me an
6:45
extra card uh, free of charge, which is
6:48
very nice. U, she charges about $5 per
6:50
card per signature. And, um, I sent her
6:53
sent her mine. She signed all of them.
6:55
Was super kind, super sweet. Even wrote
6:57
a very nice note to me as well. Um,
7:00
she's kind of one of the older OG uh,
7:02
Magic the Gathering artist. So, she's a
7:04
really cool one to have in my
7:05
collection. So, have I mentioned Game of
7:07
Thrones yet? Well, uh, here we have
7:09
another success from that incredible
7:10
series, of course, this one from Mark
7:12
Addie. He played Robert Baratheon in
7:14
Game of Thrones. Uh, he's doing a play
7:17
in London. Uh, not quite sure if it's
7:19
still going on yet or not, but uh, he
7:21
was there in London on stage. He signed
7:24
three cards for me. All beautifully
7:26
signed. Super happy to have him back.
7:28
So, thank you, Mark. Next up, Claudia
7:30
Christian from Babylon 5. Also very
7:33
nice. Signed three cards for me. uh
7:36
picked these suckers up off of eBay and
7:38
uh went ahead and sent them to her. Um
7:41
love the show and you know it's been off
7:43
the air for quite some time now, but
7:45
it's still fondly remembered by fans and
7:47
uh yeah, really cool to add her to the
7:49
collection. So, thank you. All right, if
7:51
you're a Five Nights at Freddy's fan, or
7:53
if you're chronically online like me,
7:55
you're on TikTok, you're on the YouTube
7:57
shorts, you probably hear heard some of
7:59
their music. Um they do the song Join us
8:02
for a bite. um made popular by um you
8:06
know the many videos and uh viral clips
8:09
of people dancing along to this Five
8:12
Nights at Freddy's inspired song and
8:14
they do all kinds of other video game
8:16
inspired music. Really cool group. Um
8:19
they were kind enough to send me three I
8:23
wouldn't call them index cards but you
8:24
know card index card sized uh
8:28
I don't know business card type deals. I
8:30
don't know what you call them but art
8:31
cards. Art cards. We'll say art cards.
8:34
Um, but yeah, they did that for me and
8:36
that was very kind of them. Um, they
8:38
said they'd be willing to do an
8:39
interview. They have the questions.
8:41
Still waiting to hear back uh on the
8:43
responses, but uh hopefully you guys can
8:44
see that soon. At this point, I don't
8:46
know if you guys know, but I do like
8:48
Magic the Gathering. And uh I sent a
8:51
couple more cards out to a different
8:53
artist, Lucas Graciano, and uh here he
8:56
signed seven cards for me. He has like
8:58
just incredible, incredible art. Uh, so
9:01
I felt very lucky to get these back
9:03
signed. Um, yeah, let me know in the
9:05
comments if you guys have ever played
9:06
Magic or which one of these you would
9:08
like in your collection. Um, I always
9:10
love hearing from you guys like which
9:12
what autographs are speaking to you the
9:13
most. What can I show you guys more of?
9:15
Let me know. Here we got one from Mariah
9:17
Kilstead. She was of course in the
9:19
Obi-Wan series. Uh, she was the fourth
9:22
sister as it says here on the card. Uh,
9:24
but the fourth sister signed three cards
9:26
for me. Um, I sent her three cards of
9:29
these Topps chrome Star Wars cards and
9:32
uh they came out very nice. Sometimes
9:34
these chrome cards like they're a little
9:36
bit hard to sign, but uh she signed in
9:38
Sharpie. All showed up very nicely. So,
9:40
super happy with that. Thank you so
9:42
much. All right, this one I had the
9:44
privilege of seeing Keano Reeves and
9:45
Alex Winter doing the play Waiting for
9:47
God. This was back in November of last
9:50
year. I saw them um after seeing them.
9:53
Well, I wrote to them before seeing them
9:55
and after as well. And uh one of those
9:57
responses are one of those letters
9:59
worked because I got a response with
10:01
cast sign play bill Kiana Reeves and
10:03
Alex Winter here. And uh the rest of the
10:06
cast included as well. And um yeah,
10:08
super blown away by this. You know, the
10:11
theater uh the Hudson sent it out um via
10:14
the stage manager free of charge, no
10:17
donation required, and that was really
10:18
sweet and awesome of them. So, thanks
10:20
very much Hudson Theater and Keano
10:22
Reeves, Alex Winter, and the rest of the
10:24
cast. Really appreciate it. Another
10:25
Broadway adjacent success. This one from
10:28
Jeremy Jordan. I wrote to him while he
10:30
was doing a Broadway play and he signed
10:33
one headsh shot for me and one of
10:36
Lucifer Morning Star. Um, very cool
10:39
success from him. Um, you know, kind of
10:41
interesting variation in the signature
10:43
here. Um, you know, this one I guess
10:45
didn't have quite as much room to sign,
10:47
but kind of got the longer elongated
10:49
signature and then this kind of shorter
10:51
initial looking signature here. But yep,
10:53
both came from the same source. Um, very
10:56
thankful for Jeremy Jordan for sending
10:57
this. Now, continuing on with the
10:59
Broadway theme, we got Tom Felton here,
11:01
of course, who played Draco Malfoy in
11:04
the Harry Potter films. Well, now he's
11:06
playing Draco Malfoy again, but the
11:08
older version some 20 odd years later
11:10
from the end of the movies. And uh, he
11:13
went and reprised his role, did his
11:15
Broadway debut, and uh, wrote to the
11:17
theater after seeing him. I also saw him
11:19
back in November. And um B got this
11:22
wonderfully casts signed play bill. I
11:24
mean it's awesome. Um
11:27
Thomas is somewhere around here. I think
11:29
uh
11:30
I think somewhere in this region.
11:32
Nothing. Everything was kind of cramped
11:34
and a little bit not quite looking like
11:36
uh full signature. So it's a little bit
11:38
hard to find him and I can't pinpoint
11:40
where exactly it is that I thought he
11:41
was. But yep uh got the whole cast on
11:44
here and super happy with it. So, thank
11:47
you very much to the Lyric Theater, Tom
11:48
Felton, and the rest of the Harry Potter
11:50
and the Cursed Child Broadway cast. All
11:53
right, here we got one from my childhood
11:55
crush, Melissa Joan Hart, of course, who
11:56
played Sabrina on Sabrina the Teenage
11:59
Witch. And um you know, you know, I
12:02
think I mentioned I like retro video
12:03
games. So, I found this old video, not
12:06
old video, old photo of um Melissa
12:09
playing the Dreamcast and uh I don't
12:11
know, can't really get much cooler than
12:13
that. So, I sent that out to her and
12:14
bam, got it back. So, thank you very
12:17
much, Melissa Jonah Hart. Appreciate
12:18
that. Well, I definitely have my
12:20
interests and uh as you already know
12:22
from Julian Glover, Indiana Jones is one
12:25
of them. Here's Karen Allen. Another
12:27
wonderful success. Uh three signed
12:29
photos, all beautifully dedicated to
12:31
Tim. I love her signature. She has one
12:33
of my favorite signatures, honestly. And
12:35
uh I found these beautiful photos of
12:37
her. Um some of the older ones and some
12:39
from one of the more recent Indiana
12:41
Jones films. And uh yeah, dude, she's
12:44
awesome. uh one of the really the best
12:46
signer in all through the mail. She's
12:49
like right up there. Definitely in the
12:50
top 10 for sure. So, thank you very
12:52
much, Karen. All right, here we go.
12:54
Kevin Michael Richardson. Uh two
12:56
successes from him. Uh he played comic
12:59
in uh and the um Super Mario Brothers
13:03
movie. Uh he will be reprising the role
13:06
in the Super Mario Brothers um the new
13:09
one that's coming out on April 1st.
13:13
And uh yeah, like I'm actually kicking
13:15
myself. I uh saw Charlie Day at South by
13:17
Southwest. He I just had an index card,
13:20
so he signed an index card, but I would
13:21
have loved to have him sign this or
13:23
something else because I have other
13:24
Super Mario Brothers um stuff signed as
13:27
well. But uh hey, that's cool. You know,
13:29
I got Charlie Day on an index card, so
13:31
happy about that. All right, here we
13:33
have Andrea Gabrielle. She's probably
13:34
best known for Breaking Dawn, uh the
13:37
Twilight movie. And I almost said
13:39
Breaking Bad, but Breaking Dawn, the
13:42
Twilight movie uh from the Twilight
13:44
Saga, and of course, Lost, the uh TV
13:47
show that was very popular, directed by
13:48
J.J. Abrams. And um yeah, she was kind
13:51
enough to sign for me uh two out of the
13:53
two photos. Super cool. And um posted
13:56
this on my Instagram. She gave it a
13:58
like. So, always love when you see that.
14:01
So, really appreciate her for doing
14:02
that, for signing and giving me the
14:04
like. Really appreciate that. All right.
14:06
And last but not least, a few successes
14:08
from artist Ken Stacy. Uh, as you can
14:10
tell from my other successes, I also
14:12
like Star Wars a lot. I collect Star
14:15
Wars and artists, and this is the
14:17
perfect combination. We got art of Star
14:19
Wars from really great artists, so you
14:21
really couldn't ask for more, right? Um,
14:24
but yeah, Ken signed all these cards for
14:27
me. Uh, he did have like a $10 per card
14:29
uh fee, so, you know, it wasn't free.
14:32
Um, but you know, I'm a big collector of
14:35
Star Wars Galaxy, uh, this card set in
14:37
particular, so I couldn't be happier.
14:40
Happy to pay the price. Um, thank you
14:42
very much, Ken. Appreciate it. All
14:43
right, guys. That about wraps it up.
14:45
Thank you so much for watching. Those
14:46
are some of the recent successes that
14:48
I've gotten. Uh, really doesn't take a
14:49
whole lot of effort. Just got to write a
14:51
letter. Um, put a little bit time and
14:53
care into it, be sincere, and, um, be
14:56
polite, and you can get some really
14:57
cool, awesome successes. Uh, if you want
15:00
to learn exactly how to do it, I would
15:02
recommend going to tales
15:03
fromthecollection.comfaq.
15:06
I really break it down. Everything there
15:08
that you need to know is there. Um, you
15:10
