Dave Prowse - now you see him, now you don't. Thanks UKG

[spoons]

Big shout out to Steve at UKG who cased my TIE Bomber and removed some tragic graffiti as an extra. Whatever your views on grading, UKG or bizarre 80 graded Death Star Droids, Steve is a top man

Some people pay £30 for Dave Prowse's sig and some pay £30 to remove it

Its left a bit of an indent but that looks worse in the flash - Goodbye Cliff :twisted:

 

[Jez]

Great result

 

[tiefighterboy]

I can never get my head around people doing this. Even less so when the item is not even related to the character (although imperial...but even that is a stretch.)

Looks way better.

 

[theforceuk]

I don't understand this either. Looks great now and like you say Steve is a top man. I have delt with him only once but he was brilliant to deal with and can't recommend him or UKG enough.

I did get my childhood Boba Fett ROTJ cardback signed by Jeremy Bulloch last year, but I think something like that is different. :?

 

[steve obi wan]

Love the tie bomber

 

[palitoyjunky]

Lovely result and piece there mate 8) u must b well chuffed Steve managed to sort it

Ha! Old Dave is supposed to b the big attraction at some 3rd rate fake SW convention in Manchester later on this year :wink: :wink: :lol:

Cheers chaps. I was a little torn as Dave won't be around for ever and I would like his autograph just not on vintage

 

[SublevelStudios]

Holy ****, that looks much better!

Why the hell anyone would want DP's auto on the BACK of a rare item like this beggars belief, it really does. Monumentally stupid. Thank your lucky stars the ink was metallic and not too heavy and on a gloss surface - relatively easy to remove and looks like Steve did a top job.

Prowse, as nice as he is, has been doing signings since the early 90's at least, I remember him at Cheshunt in 92. We used to joke he'd sign his own death warrant for £15. There must be thousands upon thousands of his signatures out there on all manner of crap.

 

[Pomse2001]

Looks perfect 8)

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

That is a lovely piece. What fool had Prowse scribble on it?? A cardback? Sure. A modern MOC? Hell yes. A vintage MIB/MOC? Goddamit no! On FB a guy's trying to sell an ESB Boba MOC. Not in bad condition at all, other than someone had Jeremy Bulloch scribble on it

Great work by UKG and great call having it removed. That looks lie a great example. Any chance of a shot of the front, too?

 

[stratpack]

Come on guys, I went along last Saturday and got him to sign my Vader ESB 45A Back......

Just kidding. Its a no brainer that it was a modern card!

 

[spoons]

:lol: - I was worried

Cheers scruffy

The bubble was damaged in transit and got a couple of nasty cracks so Steve built a frame around it to keep it all in one piece.

cracked front pre-Steve

and on display

 

[Capetown]

Well done Andy & Steve. Congrats!

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

Excellent, thanks for the photos. Good job by UKG there. Looks superb and now you know it's well protected. And look at that! You've got a loose one you no longer need......

 

[sith-smith]

All in all that's a cracking result on an awesome piece 8)

 

[Grant]

Awesome Spoons.

Well that's is Spoons, I have in the past got people like Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, Dave Prowse, and Jeremy Bullock to sign acrylic cases for me with the MOCs in so u get the best of both.

 

[_Lee_]

Looks good mate, however i would have removed the signature for free had you covered postage. Being an autograph collector im removed many dedications on photos. I know what can and cant be used to do this

Anyways, great piece.

 

[spoons]

Thanks all - and thanks Lee. Steve did remove it for free really. The £30 was for casing

I'll stick to photos
