*One-upmanship and name-dropping warning...
I still have my character sheet from the Pendragon pre-publication playtest at Dundracon back in '83. Not autographed, but then, I don't bother with that nonsense (While Greg has autographed a number of things for me, I've never *asked* for it...)
I *don't* have my character sheet from the Trollball playtest at DDC '79.
Of course, I'm jaded - I'm on the DDC Corporation with Steve Perrin and (until this past March) Steve Henderson (take a look at the credits for RQ1&2), hang out with Greg, hang out with various world-class musicians, jugglers and clowns... Celebrity has little hold on me (Okay, there are *some* people I'd like to meet and might be awestruck by, but certainly not in the Game industy...
Collectors are still idiots. Those that collect autographs are even worse.
