Away Mission - Tampa --> Anyone Going?

[JediOne]

Hey folks! I need to get Leonard Nimoy's signature for my Gold Key #1 and I see he will be in Tampa at this event called 'Away Mission'. Anyone from CGC or CAW happen to be going as well?

He's not signing at the show

[mwolfson22]

says he's appearing via Skype....

[A-DONIS]

Yup, and all sig requests are a premium and will be mailed from the promoter to him and then back to the promoter.

[JediOne]

WTF?! How disappointing. <-- FAIL!

Way to ruin my day Adonis.

So what you're saying is there is zero chances to ever get a comic signed and witnessed by either CGC or CAW if this is how he is going to run things from here on out?

 

I am so pissed if so and will kick myself as I am staring at a photo of him and I with my then 3 year old son while @ PHXCC. Then a few months later, he said he was done. I am more of a Star Wars fan but still pay my respect to the Star Trek family.

 

Just hope I can get his sig on this book with the rest of the original crew. (cross fingers and praying to Gene R. as we speak!)

That's what I'm saying at the moment.

 

He doesn't like to attend signings. And the way the promoter has this set up, leaves alot of room for error.

Make's no sense to me but I do appreciate the help. Next is Mr. George I guess. At least he attends a few cons still!

Nimoy has cancer, so maybe cut him a little slack.

HOW DARE HE NOT SHOW UP TO SIGN MY BOOKS! I am all that matters in this world.

He was diagnosed with COPD not cancer, but still makes it hard for a guy to get around.

So someone like Dscott or DWC should setup a board op to get books signed by him and submitted within the comforts of his own home is what you are saying then.

Most likely that is how it will happen if he is not attending conventions in person. I really do not see it happening though since I really doubt that the guy needs the money.

[A-DONIS]

But I want it now..

[JediOne]

He owes it to us fans that only want to capitalize on his signature!!! (kidding)

I had no idea he was sick. Cancer or no cancer, I agree, he has done his time and earns some good old RnR. I am just lucky I was able to meet him in person and get a photo with my son and I.
