I know lots of you guys have some cool stuff in your gameroom, and I also know a lot of you have also met lots of cool people. So, combining the coolness of both... what stuff in your arcade is signed? Any cool story behind it? As usual, pics or it didn't happen. ;-)

Me personally... here's mine:
Joysticks movie poster signed by Greydon Clark. I bought the poster a couple years ago when he was at CGE and had him sign it.

Various Twin Galaxies flyers, signed by Walter Day and Billy Mitchell. These were given to me by Joe (enjoyvelvet), who helped organize stuff (Big Bang, maybe others?) w/ the Twin Galaxies guys.

NW Pinball and Gameroom Show poster, signed by Steve Wiebe, Steve Ritchie, Walter Day, Gary Stern, John Popadiuk, and John Youssi. This was given to me by Grant (Grantman), who went to the show and met w/ all those guys.

I don't have anything as cool as your posters, but I did meet Alvin Lee at a comic convention in 2010. He is a comic book artist who has done a lot of work for Capcom over the years including Street Fighter Anniversary.

Here is an original print I got from him that he signed for me. It includes all of the SFIII characters.

I have my autographed LP from all the members of A Flock of Seagulls on my wall and my autographed book from Ralph Baer. No pics handy.
 
I have some autographed horror-related items either in my gameroom, or right outside the entrance. All were obtained in person, with the exception of the Hitchcock piece:

1963 book contract signed by Alfred Hitchcock.

Evil Dead poster signed by the ladies from the movie.

Night/Dawn/Day of the Dead poster signed by several actors from the films.

House of 1000 Corpses poster signed by Sid Haig and Bill Moseley.

Replica Jason Voorhies mask signed by CJ Graham (Jason in part VI- my favorite installment) and Ari Lehman (Jason as a kid from part 1).

I also have an autographed Kong Off marquee.

Simple collage posters on the far end of the gameroom. One is an autographed Keith Apicary poster, the other has alot of stuff that Walter mailed me.
 
I have worked in radio for 17 years now - so I have tons and tons of autographed stuff on my walls... everything from posters, to cds, to albums, to guitars...
I probably could open my own hard rock cafe lol
 
Nice to see the 2011 Seattle poster. I have a couple copies of the '09 one (I hung them up to advertise it at work, then afterwards they've just sat in my file cabinet) but aren't signed by anyone, or framed.

Nice! Post some pics!! I have some signed music stuff too, but it sounds like you've got way more. What are the highlights of your collection?

Here's what I've got:

Eddie Van Halen autographed guitar
Rob Zombie autographed guitar (really cool custom art on the guitar)
Rob Zombie signed concert ticket and CD (met him after a show- super nice guy)
Stevie Ray Vaughan autographed LP (Texas Flood)
Alice In Chains signed album flat ("Tripod" album)
Faith No More signed Album of the Year poster
Fantomas signed concert poster
Alice Cooper signed CD
Monster Magnet signed CD
Our Lady Peace signed CD
Ken Andrews (Failure) signed setlist and tour poster

I think that's it as far as the signed stuff goes. I have several other concert/tour posters that aren't autographed. I had a CD that I got signed by the Foo Fighters back when There Is Nothing Left To Lose came out, but I think it's at my ex-wife's house. Bummer.

I work with a guy who was a roadie in the 70's-80's. He's apparently got all sorts of cool stuff. A couple of days ago, he was telling me about a poster he has that's signed by The Beatles.
 
This is my only autographed one. Got them all to sign it at a concern in Switzerland back in the 80's. Huey Lewis signed it from "Huey to Huey", misspelling my name.

I don't have them put up anywhere, since I don't have a gameroom (maybe someday), but I have a bunch of posters from various events I've attended over the last few years, Big Bang, Funspot, etc. It won't get hung on the wall, but I also have my King of Kong DVD signed by pretty much everyone in it that'll sign it (a couple have refused to)
 
I have a 12 inch Led Zeppelin III album that was signed by all 4 band members. Well, technically 3 of them signed it, as John Paul Jones just initialed it 'JPJ'. One of them wrote "Team Hondo" on it as well.

Not mine:

I was surprised to see it at first, but then I read Grant grabbed it for him. I spoke with Grant a little at the show. I hadn't seen him since I was at his place in VA a few years ago. I am always happy to see guys from other areas at our show.

I don't have anything autographed, I have many posters but I really don't care about autographs.

Also have alot more proto art stuff from John Popadiuk as well.

In addition, I have 2 photos signed by Weird Al Yancovic that I got last night at the show, just need to frame them :) Also have (but need to find) a promo card from the Food Network signed by Alton Brown.

I hope to have a "Wall of fame" in th basement.

I had the same problem when I met him back stage. One of the band members left immediately left after the concert, so I didn't get his. The rest all signed it though (a cassette tape label ;) )
 
I also have White Water and Demolition Man pinball machine flyers signed by Dennis Nordman who designed the games. Forgot about those cause they are sitting on my desk here at work. :)
