The autographs on my poster were all obtained in person at a show or convention by either myself or a fellow collector (with the photos to prove it) or through the mail with the star directly - after careful correspondance via e-mail to make sure the poster was handled with care.
I'm very happy that nothing ever happend to the poster, apart from some delays in getting it back. After a while, I stopped sending it out for fear of losing it, after obtaining a large number of autographs.
The poster has been taken to shows in Belgium,the UK, the USA, France, Germany, Scandinavia and New Zealand.
It was signed in person by Shane Rangi, Alan Lee, John Howe, Bruce Spence, Elijah Wood, Bernard Hill, Royd Tolkien, Miranda Otto, Jed Brophy, Howard Shore, Brad Dourif, John Rhys-Davies, Paul Norell, Andy Serkis, Harry Sinclair, Mark Ferguson, Karl Urban, Sala Baker, Ian Hughes, Bob Anderson, Sarah McLeod, Craig Parker, Lawrence Mokoare, Sir Christopher Lee, Sean Astin, Nathaniel Lees, Kiran Shah, Jorn Benzon, Bruce Hopkins, Thomas Robins, John Noble, Clinton Ulyatt, Cameron Rhodes, Billy Boyd, and Miranda Otto.

This poster has 26 personalized autographs. Almost all of the signers wrote 'to Mark', one person even wrote 'to Mr Dermul'. I will not be able to add any more autographs to this poster because it is already very full, but also because it has been professionaly framed and is now one of the main attractions in my study.
It was signed in person by Elijah Wood, Billy Boyd, Sean Astin, Dominic Monaghan, Roger Samuels (Weta), Carola Brockhoff (Weta), Jed Brophy, Howard Shore, Brad Dourif, John Rhys-Davies, Paul Norell, Andy Serkis, Harry Sinclair, Mark Ferguson, Sala Baker, Bob Anderson, Craig Parker, Lawrence Mokoare, Sir Christopher Lee, Jorn Benzon, Bruce Hopkins, Thomas Robins, Miranda Otto, Bruce Spence, Brent McIntyre and John Noble. I am especially proud of the Howard Shore autograph, which I obtained in person when Mr Howard (the composer of the fantastic soundtrack) was in Belgium for the Lord of the Rings concert.
