December 8, 2004<\/b> (Vancouver, B.C.): Legends Memorabilia Inc. and the cast of the globally popular MGM sci-fi television series Stargate SG-1, are pleased to announce the launch of an exclusive cast-authorized website for signed photographs and other memorabilia; http:\/\/www.stargate-autographs.com<\/a><\/p>\nThis website offers fans a wide range of signed memorabilia items that have been supplied by the stars of the series, including Richard Dean Anderson, Michael Shanks, Amanda Tapping <\/b>and Christopher Judge<\/b>. The site will also include autographed items from many of the series\u2019 recurring actors, as well as cast members from Stargate: Atlantis<\/b>. Further detailed announcements with a full list of participants shall be released shortly.<\/p>\n
The development of this project was inspired by the need to support various charities and to address the issue of the prolific number of fraudulent Stargate autographs that are in circulation, a matter which the cast members of Stargate have expressed concern about. In developing this program, Paul Brown, President of Legends Memorabilia, brought numerous examples of allegedly \u2018signed\u2019 photographs for sale on eBay and other Internet sites to the attention of the stars. After careful inspection, they concluded that virtually all of those items were either fake or \u2018extremely questionable\u2019. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe Stargate actors don\u2019t want their fans spending money on fraudulent memorabilia.\u201d says Brown. \u201cAll items on this website will be personally autographed by the stars specifically for this program. Through this site we are giving the fans a one hundred percent guarantee that they are purchasing unquestionable, authentic signed photos, scripts and other autographed memorabilia\u201d, he adds.<\/i><\/p>\n
The second objective of this program is to support charity, a subject close to all of the Stargate actors. The prices for the autographs have been established by the stars themselves in consultation with Legends and the funds raised through this program will help support their individually selected charities. <\/p>\n
A key element of this program is the participation of Richard Dean Anderson<\/b>, who has offered the following comment in support of the project:<\/p>\n
\u201cPaul Brown’s explanation of why I have chosen to throw in with his company is accurate. Allow me to reiterate: It was brought to my attention that fans of Stargate, more specifically, Jack O’Neill, were shelling out good money for bad forgeries. The fact that fans were being duped pi**ed me off to no end! <\/p>\n
Paul’s company, Legends Memorabilia, solves the problem for me completely. What you receive from Paul will have been signed by ME (my name is Richard Dean Anderson!) My arrangement with Legends is a clean, straight-forward proposition that deposits ALL monies collected into the hands of several charitable organizations I have supported over the decades. Those of you who know me, will know my intentions and most likely, for those who have followed closely, my motivation. <\/p>\n
In anticipation of your involvement with Legends, please accept my heart-felt thanks. Also, I can only promise to try and improve my handwriting. Currently, it sucks! I will work on legibility first with signature styles….then content. <\/p>\n
More life to you all!\u201d <\/p>\n
Richard<\/i><\/p>\n
