Nope. That didn't come from me. Also, I've heard but I don't know if it's true and I can't remember where I heard it that Crawford doesn't sign any Phantom memorabilia. So if he doesn't sign that, I'd doubt you'd get anything from Dance of the Vampires signed. Would be very interested to see what would happen if someone asked him about it if they meet him somewhere, but obviously it would be awkward bringing up. | |
