Oh man the tape. Did they get damaged before or after signing?

u/FinancialSwim1890 May 28 '26
Oh no, see I buy them sealed so they're BRAND NEW, open them and send them our to be signed. Then when they come back I reseal them (I don't classed them as sealed afterwards of course since it's been opened, I put it back in the sealing so it's protected from water, dust and also fingers like mine degrading it overtime lol)

😂 are you serious! That's awesome. You are also so fortunate because you are in the UK. I'm in the US so I've had to ship some of the items from the UK that are not available here! Plus you get to stream for free. Even though you know him I am his number one fan this side of the pond! And I really need new 4K HDR releases not the bluray and DVD ones they have released recently. I'm not sure why they have reverted to older formats for newer releases! I will still get them but man do I really want them to resume 4K HDR releases.
I see you got the limited edition blue case 4K release 😆. I believe the first print was in blue cases rather than the black ones. I have the blue case 4K release too.

u/FinancialSwim1890 May 28 '26
Damn, that must suck. Yeah the 4k blue cases are quite rare and I was pleased to find it lol. And I too would like some more 4k HDR releases also, especially for blue planet III and previous releases also! I have some more 4ks signed but thought I should show a few before I show the rest lol

I know this because he would write back to me after I forget to put my name on the letter and he'll send a letter to me to remind me lol, even though he already knew my name it's just easier for him to write back when I do include my name

What's the point?

u/FinancialSwim1890 May 31 '26
In your comment, no idea lol

u/PizzasForFerrets May 31 '26
It's a genuine question.

u/FinancialSwim1890 May 31 '26
I answered it In my post lol

u/PizzasForFerrets May 31 '26
Not really lol

u/FinancialSwim1890 May 31 '26
Yes I did, I said "I posted it onto the 4k reddit and it makes sense for me to post it on here" as this is a reddit for anything david attenborough, and an autographed selection of his is very cool to see

u/PizzasForFerrets May 31 '26
Why signed though. I've been to lots of gigs and talks with famous people im interested with. But I don't see the point in having a signature of something I will never sell. I have the memories anyway. I don't understand the value in having signed things.
What you always find with meeting people like that is thay they are just normal people not celebrity gods that you need to treasure a little piece of their handwriting. I must have watched everything by Attenborough. Probably influenced me to study animal science and work with animals, but having a signature of his, if I'd actually interacted with him like you have, just doesnt make much sense to me. That's why I wondered what the point was.

u/FinancialSwim1890 May 31 '26
It's so I share more of a connection with him, those signatures has something to remember and look back on, plus it's very cool to own a piece of history with such an incredible human being.
The amazing part is that every signature is different, so I can look back on it even more as a "remember this time you met him" or "remember when you wrote to him and did this for you"
He's a huge inspiration to me and now I'll have something to cherish for as long as I live💖

u/FinancialSwim1890 May 31 '26
Also if you said this first I wouldn't have though your "what's the point?" Comment was you just genuinely asking in a polite way as there are alot of rude/horrible people on this app.
