I love finding autographs from Celebration II and have spent many hours searching for additions to my collection. Ironically, I found this CII dual-signed autograph from Mary Oyaya and Nalini Krishan on the Fanboy Expo online store while I was doing research on one of the actresses for my site. Even though I wasn’t looking, once I saw it I had to pull trigger and buy it.
This was my first purchase from Fanboy Expo’s online store. They currently have 121 Star Wars autographs in stock in their store, ranging in price to under $30 to over $2,000.
This autograph cost $85, plus $9.95 for shipping, for a total of $94.95. I received a confirmation email upon purchase and second email on June 1st with my shipping and tracking information.
Regarding shipping, a note on the Fanboys Expo website says “Fanboy Expo’s Online Store does not charge a handling fee. Our shipping rates are calculated by factoring in postage, shipping supplies and insurance and is already included in the shipping cost on your invoice.”
I placed my order on May 25th and it arrived eleven days later on June 5th. It was sent via USPS 8oz First Class package rate, which for the specific zone required (Zone 8) cost $3.85. It came in a plastic top loader and a brown reinforced cardboard mailer.
The autograph was accompanied by a certificate of authenticity that includes a barcode and number on the back. Unfamiliar with the company I did a quick online search, which did not yield any results.
Here’s a look at the autograph.
Reasonable price and quick shipping made for a good shopping experience. The one caveat I will add is CII autographs make for very safe autograph purchases as it has been reported many times throughout the years that any unused photos were destroyed after the event making the risk of purchasing a fraudulent autograph extremely low. With that in mind I did not scrutinize the signatures or go through any additional vetting prior to purchasing.
