Personalized messages on '66 Batman photos at Expos/Cons

Post by Blair »

I'm looking forward to meeting Adam, Burt and Yvonne at the Winnipeg Expo next weekend and having '66 Batman photos autographed and signed.

To your knowledge and/or in your experience with them, is there a standard personalized message they each write on a photo along with their autograph? Can you request they write something specific? If so, what did/would you ask them to write?

Thanks, that helps.

I've seen a few images online where Yvonne or Burt have signed "Best Bat Wishes", "Bat Love", or simply their name along with "Batgirl" or "Robin." Adam seems to sign "To 'your name'" then "Adam West."- which is totally fine.

I'm hoping after I meet them I don't think, "Why didn't I ask them to write that instead?"

What are the best salutations you've received or seen by any or all three of the above?

The above seems to be true. I always ask Adam to write Batman under his signature which he will do. His handler will insist on him personalizing everything he signs to someone. I did pay extra one time for him not to personalize an item.

Adam's assistant will insist that he personalize everything (which is odd because if you order an autograoh through Adam's website, he will just sign his name "Adam West, Batman"). I have seen some people just walk away when they've heard this instead of having him sign their item. I didn't mind having him do this.

Burt will will just put his signature or personalize itif you like, and then he'll ask you if you have a dog.... :D

Yvonne will sign just about any way you wish. I had her sign mine with "Whose baby are you? Love, Yvonne Craig, Batgirl."

Met Adam, Burt and Yvonne this afternoon and they were great. Yvonne signed a couple of photos for me with, "Best Bat Wishes" and "Love" along with her name and "Batgirl", Burt signed "Zap" and a happy face his name and "Robin", and Adam signed his name. I was really pleased with everything.

It was awesome getting the chance to meet each of them and shake their hands. It may have been the boyhood crush coming through but Yvonne was my favourite. She was lovely and she and her colleague were extremely accommodating. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

I'm curious, how much did Fred charge to have Adam sign it unpersonalized? It's great to hear Burt and Yvonne were so personable. I haven't seen them at a con in a while.

This is always nice to hear Blair! I'm glad you had a good experience! Feel free to share photos from the event if you so wish!
