This is particularly true in the context of licensed cards for popular properties in the world of movies and television.ย
Ultimate Guide to Collecting Celebrity Autographs
As collectors, we love it when the biggest names from our favorite TV ๐บ shows and movies ๐ฅย agree to sign ๐ for a licensed set. Here is a comprehensive listing of celebrity signers ๐, that collectors should really thank for their willingness to sign ๐. Hats off to these manufacturers, who had the foresight to pursue some of these, current at the time, and future, entertainment celebrities and notable personalities.
This guide will be evergreen ๐ฒ in the sense that it will be regularly updated. We wanted to give it as a robust ๐ฅ start as possible. However, given the magnitude of this project, it became quickly obvious that ongoing updates would be needed for this post to be truly worthy of its title.
These personalities will be the first added in future updates:
Short List – Joan Van Ark, Will Wheaton, Elizabeth Henstridge, Ed Begley Jr., Aaron Ashmore, Jessica De Gouw, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Faran Tahir, CCH Pounder, Melissa McBride, Andrew Lincoln, Mehcad Brooks, Seth Gilliam, Lindsay Wagner, Amy Irvingrich, Erik Estrada, Sandy Duncan, Daisy Ridley, Felicity Jones
Long List – Eddie McClintock, Karen Gillan, John Schneider, Tom Wopat, Rachel Miner, Renรฉ Auberjonois, Brit Morgan, Lauren Bowles, Cassidy Freeman, Susan Walters, Sydney Tamiia Poitier, Wayne Callies, Emily Kinney, Nina Dobrev, Samantha Smith, Emma Bell, Ross Marquand, Brent Spiner, Randolph Mantooth, Richard Hatch, James Marsden, Fred Dryer, Tim McKay, Parker Posey
Also, in a later guide, we will chronicleย celebrities that may not have property licensed autographed cards, but do have autographs in pop culture related products like Leaf Pop Century, Panini Golden Age, Donruss/Panini Americana, Topps American Pie, Topps 75th Anniversary, Benchwarmer and Upper Deck Spectrum.
With regards to Topps 75th Anniversary, the product is a bit of an anomaly. While it does contain property licensed autographed cards of several notable celebrities, depicted in their iconic roles, it is not a standalone property licensed set. Thus the reason for those autographed cards being saved for a future guide.
Additionally, each celebrity listed includes a filmography of their most notable film ๐ฅ and TV ๐บ appearances. We have also provided a link to each celebrity’s autographed cards on eBay.
For now, enjoy this Ultimate Guide to Collecting Celebrity Autographs* with a particular emphasis on notable names in property licensed products.ย ย

Carrie Fisher’s secondary market prices on eBay, sell for considerably ๐ฒ more than Mark Hamill’s.
Carrie Underwood – American Idol Season 5 (Fleer)
American Idol show creator, Simon Cowell not only predicted that Underwood would win ๐ that year’s competition, but also “sell ๐ฒ more records ๐ฟ than any of the four previous winners combined.” He was right, on both counts. Read the first paragraph of her Wikipedia page to see just how right Cowell was of her success. A truly gifted singer ๐ค ๐ต, to date, she has won seven Grammy Awards ๐. She has had several cameo appearances in film ๐ฅ and TV ๐บ and played the lead role of Maria in NBC’s live-action production of The Sound of Music ๐ถ.

One of our personal favorites is his role of Dick Grayson, A.K.A., Robin, for the Super Friends animated Saturday morning special ๐บ. He voiced that role for 109 episodes between 1973-1985. This is his only, non-cut signature, autographed card. Fittingly, it’s for the role that several generations of fans have come to know and love ๐.

Charisma Carpenter – 1999 Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2, 2001 Angel Season 2, 2007 Veronica Mars Season 2 (All Inkworks)
If Carpenter had an autographed card in every property licensed trading card set in which she had at least one episode appearance, she’d have at least six property licensed autographed cards in her trading card database. In addition to the titles above, she has appeared in other young-adult oriented TV ๐บ shows like Charmed and Supernatural. She has also appeared on Sons of Anarchy, Blue Bloods ๐ฎโโ๏ธ, Chicago PD ๐, Lucifer ๐ and 9-1-1 ๐จ, to name a few.

Cox’s acting ๐ญ resume includes roles on the TV ๐บ shows, Downton Abbey and Boardwalk Empire. His big screen ๐ฅ credits include: Stardust, The Theory of Everything and King of Thieves. After landing the role of Matt Murdock, A.K.A. Daredevil ๐, we believe collectors, will eventually, see Cox with autographs in additional property licensed trading card sets.
For now, at least, these products contain his only autographed cards, to date. The manufactured patch autograph, pictured below, is the first letter that spells out D-E-F-E-N-D-E-R-S. There are only 25, serial-numbered copies of each letter patch.
Charlie Hunnam – 2014 Pacific Rim, 2014 Sons of Anarchy Seasons 1-3, 205 Sons of Anarchy Seasons 4-5, 2015 Sons of Anarchy Seasons 6-7 (All Cryptozoic)

He garnered international fame and critical acclaim for his lead role of Jax Teller in the gritty, motorcycle gang crime drama, Sons of Anarchy. Prior to that, he had recurring roles on the TV ๐บ shows,Queer as Folk ๐ฌ๐ฌ, Young Americans and Undeclared.
As for film ๐ฅ appearances, he specializes in dramatic themed scripts like Papillon, Crimson Peak, The Lost City of Z and King Arthur: Legend of the Sword โ. That said, he did play a lead role in the action, adventure thriller, Pacific Rim. Fittingly, his only autographed cards, to date come from two licensed properties for which he is most identified.
Charlton Heston – 2001 Planet of the Apes (Topps)
Heston is certainly a familiar name to anyone older than the Millennial generation. He starred in the original version of the film ๐ฅ in 1968. It was a great tribute to have Heston play one of the elder apes ๐ฆง in this remake. This is his only property licensed autograph card. He does, however, have several cut signature cards available.
Cheryl Ladd – 2010 NCIS (Rittenhouse)
An iconic sex ๐ symbol of the 1970s and 1980s, Ladd had big shoes to fill when she replaced stunning starlet ๐ Farah Fawcett-Majors in the TV ๐บ series, Charlie’s Angels.

Chloe Bennet – 2015 Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D Season 2 (Rittenhouse), 2019 Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D Compendium (Upper Deck)
This relative newcomer to Hollywood ๐ฌ has already made a big impact on pop culture. The flat out sexy ๐ and athletic Bennet rode the wave ๐ of popularity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe playing the role of Daisy “Skye” Johnson, A.K.A., Quake on the ABC TV ๐บ show, Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Her first job in entertainment came as host๐ of the short-lived, teen dance show, ๐๐บ The Nightlife. Prior to her role ๐ญ on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Bennet had a recurring role on Nashville. She has voiced ๐ค her character of Daisy “Skye” on a web ๐ป TV ๐บ series, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Slingshotย and an animated ๐ฝ, made for TV ๐บ movie ๐ฅ, Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors.
Although Rittenhouse was unable to get Bennet to sign ๐ for their Season 1 trading card release, they were fortunate to get her in Season 2. She has a bordered, full bleed and silver signature (Archive box exclusive) cards in that set. She also has three autographs in 2019 Compendium from Upper Deck. The Character Profile autograph is a short-print. There is little doubt that fans and collectors will be seeing more of Bennet in the future. Follow her career on IMDb.
Chris Evans – 2016 Captain America: Civil War, 2018 Avengers: Infinity War, 2020 Avengers: Endgame/Captain Marvel (All Upper Deck)
Captain America made his MCU debut in 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger. Chris Evans would play Captain America in three other Marvel films ๐ฅ before his first autographed card was released with 2016’s Captain America: Civil War. These cards go for ๐ฒย BIG BUCKS ๐ฒ but not Robert Downey Jr. kind of money ๐.
In addition to these property licensed examples, Evans has autographs in 2018 Topps Allen & Ginter โพ. He also has autographs as part of the “Fans of the Game” insert set in 2018 Donruss and Optic Football ๐.
Chris Farley – 1992 Saturday Night Live (Star Pic)
A generational comedic ๐ talent, tragically taken too soon ๐ข. Farley’s unashamed physical comedy and timely delivery endeared him to millions of fans. He graduated from Saturday Night Liveย and would go on to star โญ in such feature films ๐ฅ as Tommy Boy ๐คฃ, Black Sheep and Beverly Hills Ninja. His 1997 drug๐ overdose shocked the entertainment community.
This is his only autographed card of any kind. However, be careful, forgeries abound as this article can attest.
Chris Hemsworth – 2009 Star Trek The Movie (Rittenhouse), 2011 Thor, 2012 Avengers Assemble, 2013 Thor: The Dark World, 2015 Avengers: Age of Ultron, 2018 Thor: Ragnarok, 2018 Avengers: Infinity War, 2019 Marvel Studious The First Ten Years, 2020 Avengers: Endgame/Captain Marvel (All Upper Deck)
Interesting to note is that before he was Thor, God of Thunder and Ruler of Asgard, he was George Kirk, Lieutenant Commander in the Federation Starfleet and the father of Captain James T. Kirk. Wait what?! Well apparently fans have figured that all out here. More importantly for collectors, it was actually Rittenhouse Archives that give the hobby the first autographed trading cards of Chris Hemsworth. The card was released in the 2009 Star Trek Movies set.
Thank goodness for Chris Hemsworth’s willingness to signย ๐๐. His character of, Thor, has been so instrumental throughout the MCU storylineย that many of Upper Deck’s Marvel products have hinged on his inclusion. He also has an autographed card in 2018 Topps Allen & Ginter โพ.
Chris O’Donnell – 1997 Batman & Robin (Fleer/Skybox)
If George Clooney had to wear a nipple suite to play Batman ๐ฆ, you can be assured O’Donnell had to wear one as Robin. He is currently the star โญ of TV’s ๐บ NCIS: Los Angeles. The NCIS property has had trading card sets produced by Rittenhouse. However, the Los Angelesย version has not had a set issued.
That means that this is O’Donnell’s first, and currently, only property licensed autograph. He does, however, have a “Fans of the Game” autograph in 2004 Donruss Leather & Lumber Baseball โพ.
Chris Pratt – 2014 Guardians of the Galaxy (Upper Deck)
Chris Pratt being cast as Star-Lord in the MCU put the young actor ๐ญ in a new tax bracket ๐ฐ. It was so important to land him for this trading card release and thankfully, Upper Deck got their man ๐. They also landed several other key cast members including Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, Michael Rooker and Tommy Flanagan to name a few. We just wish he had signed ๐ for the Parks & Recreation โฒ ๐คฃ TV ๐บ show set by Press Pass ๐ก because Andy Dwyer is AWESOME!
Christian Slater – 2011 Star Trek Movies Heroes & Villains (Rittenhouse)
Slater has appeared in a number of movies ๐ฅ during his career including Heathers, Young Guns II, True Romance, Pump Up the Volume ๐ and many more.

Despite having several autographs in Leaf Pop Century, to date, this is his only property licensed autographed card.
Christina Aguilera – 2000 Christina Aguilera (Upper Deck)
This product is so peculiar. Somebody at Upper Deck headquarters, in Carlsbad, CA, must have been a really BIG fan or had a crystal ballย ๐ฎ of her eventual fame. After all, at the time, she was very young and had just finished the release and tour for her self-titled, debut album ๐ฟ ๐ถ. Since that time she has gone on to win multiple Grammy Awards ๐.
In 2008, Rolling Stone named her one of the “๐ฏ Greatest Singers of All Time”, ranking #58. In 2013, Time magazine ๐ named her to their annual list of the “๐ฏ Most Influential People in the World”.

Christina Hendricks – 2006 Firefly (Inkworks)
While AMC’s Madmen ๐ธ might have made her famous ๐, garnering numerous award nominations, it was Hendricks’ two episode appearances on Fireflyย that landed the talented actress ๐ญ her only trading card, to date, of any kind. She has a lengthy list of credits to her name for both TV ๐บ and film ๐ฅ. However, she has yet to duplicate the fame and accolades brought to her from playing Joan Holloway on Mad Men ๐ธ.

(A Jim Carrey autographed card would have been magical โจ.) Her cards include two photo versions (card #’s 15, 52) signed ๐ in three ink colors (black, blue and red) to various serial numbering between 50 and 500. These are her only autographed cards, to date.

Clive Barker – 1992 Hellraiser (Eclipse)
Barker is one of the original masters of the modern horror ๐จ genre. Theย writerย โ and director ๐ฌ is best-known for his work with Hellraiser.ย In fact, the character of Pinhead ๐ฑ has come to epitomize the very definition of evil ๐ฟ.

Danica McKellar – 2012 The Big Bang Theory Season 3 (Cryptozoic)
Anyone who grew up watching the TV ๐บ show, The Wonder Years, probably had a crush on McKellar and her character Winnie Cooper ๐.

Danny DeVito – 1993 Batman The Animated Seriesย (Topps)
Come on, who didn’t absolutely love ๐ Danny DeVito as Penguin in 1992’s Batman Returns ๐ฆ? Interestingly enough, the signed ๐ cardย is from the Stadium Club set issued for the Batman ๐ฆ movie ๐ฅย and has nothing to do with the animated TV ๐บ show for which the product was created ๐คจ.

Danny Trejo – 2008 Stargate Atlantis Seasons 3 & 4 (Rittenhouse)
Trejo might be known as “that really scary guy” from numerous TV ๐บ shows and movies ๐ฅ. However, in reality and by all accounts, he’s one of the nicest guys in Hollywood ๐ฌ. He has played in so many great roles and appeared in so many great properties, some with trading card sets, that its surprising that he doesn’t have more autographed cards, especially property licensed examples.

These are, currently, his only autographed cards.
David Bowie – 2015 The Man That Fell From Earth (Unstoppable Cards)
Who knew right?! This relatively obscure film ๐ฅ and even more obscure trading card set contains some great content. That’s above and beyond David Bowie ๐ถ hard-signed ๐ autographs! What’s more is that these are his only,ย non-cut signature, autographed cards.
David Carradine – 2000 Charmed Season 1, 2004 Alias Season 3 (Both Inkworks)
Carradine’s long acting ๐ญ career began in 1963 ๐ฒ. He continued working, right up until his death in 2009.

There have been several licensed trading card sets produced by multiple manufacturersย during and even after, its esteemed run.
In 2008, Inkworks issued a dual autographed card of David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson that lit the hobby on fire ๐ฅ. Unfortunately, the autographs were on hideous looking stickers ๐คข. Despite both of the show’s key stars โญ having autographs in various products, it wasn’t until 2019, when Upper Deck acquired the license, that collectors would once again have the chance to pull a dual autographed card signed ๐ by Agents Scully and Mulder ๐ฒ. Rittenhouse came close the previous year. They were able to get David Duchovnyย ย and Gillian Anderson to sign ๐ a card. However, it was relegated as a dealer incentive. Duchovny has not signed ๐ for any other trading card sets.
David Eigenberg – 2006 The 4400 Season 1 (Inkworks)
Another actor ๐ญ with several single episode appearances in popular TV ๐บ shows, Eigenberg is best-known for his recurring role on HBO’s Sex and the City.

David Hasselhoff – 1995 Baywatch (Sports Time)
Hasselhoff first gained notoriety in the TV ๐บ show, Knight Riderย ๐ in the 1980s. That property features it’s own trading card set. However, like almost all of the entertainment trading cards sets of the era, it does not contain autographs. Baywatch ๐ย became the most watched TV ๐บ show, around the world ๐พ, in the 1990s ๐ฒ. In 1995, a small company, Sports Time, secured a license for the show. It contains Hasselhoff’s first, and to date, only property licensed autographed card. That said, he has appeared in Leaf Pop Century.
Theย Baywatch autograph is hand-numbered โ to just 200 copies. It is so hard to find on the secondary market that we couldn’t even find a quality image. It is however, the card pictured below with his autograph and hand-numbering added.

Cain may be best-known for his role as Clark Kent/Superman in the TV ๐บ series, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. However, he’s also been a producer ๐ฐ and TV ๐บ show๐host. In truth, he’s appeared in many more TV shows and films ๐ฅ than most people realize.

Dolph Lundgren – 2015 James Bond Archives, 2016 James Bond Archives Spectre Edition (Both Rittenhouse)
How nice would it have been to have a modern set with cast autographs from ๐ฅ Rocky IV? That’s when the world first met Lundgren who played, the dreaded antagonist, Ivan Drago. Since then, he has appeared in countless action films ๐ฅ and played well-known characters like He-Man (Masters of the Universe) and Frank Castle (The Punisher) ๐. His most recent work has been in The Expendables franchise. These are his first, and currently, only property licensed autographed cards.
Dom DeLuise – 2005 Stargate SG-1 Season 7 (Rittenhouse)

Despite all of his famed work, it would take until 2005 for fans to be able to get their hands on a Dom DeLuise property licensed autographed card. Collectors can thank Episode 316 (S3, E16) of Stargate SG-1 and his role of Urgo. He does have autographed cards in Donruss/Panini Americana sets.
Don Cheadle – 2010 Iron Man 2 (Upper Deck)
Cheadle has come a long way from his early film ๐ฅ roles in Hamburger Hill and as the antagonist gangster, Rocket in the gang drama, Colors. He would go on to have roles in Boogie Nights, Traffic and the Ocean’sย trilogy. He earned an Oscar nomination for his dramatic role in Hotel Rwanda.
This is his only property licensed, non-cut signature, autographed card. It seems only fitting, since his role as James Rhodes, A.K.A. War Machine, in the the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is how most people identify him.
Don Rickles – 2000 The Best of The Wild Wild West Season 1, 2002 The Twilight Zone Series 2 (Rittenhouse)
The famed insult comic ๐ continued touring right up until his death in 2017. Rickles has numerous TV ๐บ and film ๐ฅ roles to his credit. Perhaps most notably, is his voice ๐ค work as Mr. Potato Head in the Toy Story movie franchise. He was a regular on The Tonight Show, Late Night and other variety shows ๐ญ during the course of his lengthy and esteemed career.
However, it was his work in one episode in the 1960s TV ๐บย show, The Wild Wild West and one episode of The Twilight Zone that earned him these classic and only, non-cut signature, autographed cards.
Drea de Matteo – 2015 Sons of Anarchy Seasons 4 & 5 (Cryptozoic)
Matteo’s breakout role came as Adriana La Cerva in the HBO crime drama The Sopranos, for which she won multiple awards ๐.

Her autographed card in Inflexions is a cut signature. While these are her only autographed cards, to date, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Clarke included on the autograph checklist of future trading card sets.
Emma Caulfield – 2000 Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 4, 2004 Buffy the Vampire Slayer Women of Sunnydale (Both Inkworks), 2019 Supergirl Season 1 (Cryptozoic)

Eric Roberts – 2003 Doctor Who 40th Anniversary (Strictly Ink), 2010 Heroes (Rittenhouse), 2015 Doctor Who, 2016 Doctor Who Timeless (Both Topps)
Roberts is one of those actors ๐ญ that you just know because he always seems to be in something.

Some of our favorite screen appearances include: Star 80, The Pop of Greenwich Village, The Dark Knight ๐ฆ and the TV ๐บ show, Suits.ย Roberts has also signed ๐ for Leaf Pop Century and Donruss/Panini Americana.
Evangeline Lilly – 2005 Lost Season 1 (Inkworks), 2016 The Hobbit – Battle of the Five Armies (Cryptozoic), 2018 Ant-Man (Upper Deck)
Lilly is easily recognized for her recent role as Hope van Dyne A.K.A. The Wasp ๐ in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Prior to that she played Tauriel in The Hobbitย ๐งโโ๏ธย film series. However, her big break came on the TV ๐บ show Lost ๐งญ, which earned her a Golden Globe ๐ Award nomination for Best Actress in a Drama Series and won her a Screen Actors Guild Award ๐.

Up until 2019, McGregor had never signedย โ for a Topps Star Wars โจ trading card set.

He went from zero autographs to almost sixty in just a few short months ๐ฒ. Again the quantity is largely based on the number of parallels available.
