NIP IT, NIP IT IN THE BUD!

I am a big fan of the Andy Giffith Show and in addition to a complete collection of all the black and white versions of the show on video tape I also have started a collection of memorabilia and autographs. I am always looking to buy. I always enjoy corresponding with other TAGS fans so please email me with questions, suggestions, or just to say Hey!

An uncirculated copy of "Ronny Howard of the Andy Griffith Show Pictures to Color", circa
1962. Published by Saalfield Publishing, this piece was acquired from the last President
of the company, Robert Kelly.

An excellent condition, unused Hometown Classics "Andy Griffith Show" lollipop POS
piece used in stores to sell lollipops. I also have 2 "Andy Griffith Show Lollipops".

May, 1963 New England Edition T.V. Guide with Don Knotts, Ron Howard, and Andy Griffith
on the cover in character. This piece is in excellent condition, no markings or dog ears with
Don Knotts autograph on the cover. It was autographed for me in Kansas City where
Mr. Knotts was performing on stage.

A complete set of the "Hawthorne Porchlights Collections Andy Griffith Show Series". From the courthouse to the filling station, Andy and Barney, the squad car, a beautiful set, figurines in pewter, buildings are ceramic. Lighted and Christmas decorations. All original packaging still in great shape. (Sorry, no pictures yet)

Trading cards, sets 2 & 3 unopened, various books.

A 1969 Super8 film of "The Reluctant Astronaut" in the original box.

A full sized, Vintage movie poster of "The Reluctant Astronaut" starring Don Knotts! What a classic! The poster looks much better than the picture, (new camera, still learning!)

A collectors glass from the theatrical performance of "Harvey" starring Don Knotts from Kansas City, Missouri, the same show at which he autographed the TV Guide referenced above.

"The Reluctant Astronaut" coloring book, 4 - 5 pictures have been colored, but other
than that it is in excellent shape.

A script of episode #88, "The Darlings Are Coming" (it's a copy). Autographed by
Hoke Howell, Maggie Peterson Mancuso, and everyone in the band, (thanks Rodney).
I only wish I could have gotten Denver Pyles autograph before his untimely passing.
This is the episode that introduces the fabulous Darling family.

3 Autographed pictures of Jean Carson, (Daphne the Fun Girl and Naomi, one of the convicts)
from various episodes of the show and one from Twilight Zone!

An autographed picture of Elinor Donahue (Miss Ellie Walker) along
with a signed index card.

A classic picture from the "Haunted House " episode, (you know which one I am talking about), framed
and matted, autographed by Jim Nabors.

An unpublished photo of the Darling family from the "Return to Mayberry" movie, autographed by
Ernest T. Bass, Maggie Peterson, and Mitch Jayne.

A script from the "Return to Mayberry" movie, autographed by Maggie Peterson, Howard Morris,
Rodney Dillard, and Mitch Jayne. (Thanks alot, Rodney!)

An "Official" Reproduction Miracle Salve box, autographed by Keith Thibodeaux (Johnny Paul Jason)

A nice selection of Hal Smith photos along with one of those promotional signature lighters
that he liked to hand out during appearances.

Don Knotts autographed lithograph 81/2 by 11 picture of Don Knotts as Barney, autographed in
blue sharpie, 3 by 5 of Don Knotts, Andy Griffith, and Jim Nabors looking back over
their shoulders from their directors chairs and a little bullet sheet about the show.
There is a picture of Don Knotts autographing the picture on the back of the frame.
A real nice piece.

I am looking for autographed pictures of Frances Bavier if anyone knows of any. Also looking for collectibles of any kind. Very interested in locating actual show production items or leads on same.
