Psycho: a grail acquired

[Anton Phibes]

There always seems to be an elusive beast when it comes to collecting for each of us. A white whale, if you will. I have always wanted an Anthony Perkins signed photo from the first Psycho film. I have/had Perkins's signature. On an album page, on a Psycho 3 photo. But always in a bad contrast area or from a film other than the original. I had never seen one on an 8x10 from the first film that I knew was genuine.

Recently a dealer offered one up, at an extremely reasonable price. I jumped on it immediately. I sold an album page he signed and a 3x5 card and paid for my grail item. He now resides on my wall of Fame in the Movie Monsters area of my collection. Just in time for the season of spooky things.

Behold:

The inscription reads: To Rich--a real Psycho-phile. Yours,
Anthony Perkins. Perfection.

Very cool, and a great movie of course. Wish we had a PF of Norman but alas... probably won't ever happen.

...not unless he gets an adamantium skeleton, wears a bat symbol on his chest, or carries a lightsaber.
