If I could get 1 ornament signed this year, it would be Holiday Parade #1 in series. I LOVE this holiday truck series and would really love to get my #1 in series signed.

What ornament is on the top of your "get is signed" wish list?

I love the artist signings. I like to get a whole series signed. I would love to catch up with the Halloween Pumpkins by Anita Rogers. I think I need the last three to be signed.

The ornaments I would want to get signed are the recent Frosty Friends by Tom Best.

I got real lucky in the early 2000’s. I was able to back collect the early Frosty Friends and through luck of where artists were signing during the 2000’s, I was able to get all the Frosty Friends signed (through the 2019 edition). The first two in the series are signed by Ed Seale (even though Artist: Jim Mahon created them). All others are signed by the actual artist. This includes the few by Bob Siedler, Sharon Pike and Tammy Haddix. I was able to get all of Ed Seale’s signed before he retired. I think my luck has run out as I have a handful of recent editions not signed by Tom Best. With Tom’s retirement I will just have to be happy I was able to get as many singed as I could.

Another question for this thread… is there an artist you seem to have more signing access to than others? Over the signing events and conventions, I seem to always get assigned Joanne Eschrich/Wright. I have lots of her great ornaments but by the time of the last Convention, I had no more ornaments for her to sign. Nice problem to have, right!

I seem to see three artists the most. Ed Seale used to come to Tampa every year for the Flamingo Fling ornament show. I too got all his Frosty friends signed. I have 99 ornaments total signed by him. I wish I had the last few ones by Tom Best signed too!

Next is Ken Crow- our club won a signing with him plus I had seen him at other signing. I have 85 ornaments signed by him.

Robert Chad signed 63 ornaments. Alot were the Mary's angels. Now he is retired I will not be able to get his last ones signed.

An artist I wish I had seen more was Edythe Kegrize. Now she is retired too. I never got to see her at an in store signing only in KC at conventions.

I have the least signed by Robert Hurlburt, Rodney Gentry, and Orville Wilson. They are all under 10 ornaments signed by each.

I have nothing signed by Ed Seale. Only four ornaments signed by Ken Crow.

When Hallmark used to assign us artist I never had these two.

I don't have a lot of my ornaments signed overall because I am newer to artist signings than most on here. I have listed below the ornaments I personally had signed. I do have some others I purchased that were already signed.

2010 I met Edythe and had my BoB signed but now have many more. I have 98 signatures from here overall because I was able to meet her twice.

Robert Chad signed most of my ornaments from him when he came to Pittsburgh but I have since collected many more. 72 signatures from him. A lot of people including Corvette Elaine helped me to get ornaments signed at that event. Very memorable moments for me.

Terri Steiger signatures total 43.

Ruth Donikowski signatures equal 39

Nello Williams signatures equal 34

Jake Angall equals 20. He was new to the ornament scene.

Tom Best signatures equal 16.

Sharon Viskar signatures equal 41.


I have always wanted to see Ed Seale and Ken Crow but never had the chance.

WOW you have some good numbers for signings.

I really miss those good one days of signing.

I have many ornaments signed over the last few decades, but Its not a high priority with me.

I prefer the event items and just talking with the artists.
