About Me

I have been an active dealer and professional appraiser of vintage and modern autographed entertainment, historical and sports collectibles for 25+ years. I'm a bit of a "celebrity snoop" as well and have reported the "in's and out's" of entertainment...socially and behind the scenes...since the late 70's. In addition, I have authored several nationally published articles on autographs, Baltimore sports, local history & paranormal activity and have contributed commentary to many media sources, including The Wall Street Journal, E!, 60 Minutes, AuctionBytes.com, Worth Magazine, The New York Times, The New York Daily News, The London Magazine and Entertainment Tonight. I have also been privileged to have consulted on several major film productions. Strickler's Celebrity Autographs .

Movies:

Sandra Bullock's "SPEED" Original Film Worn Wardrobe The most recognizable costume from the hit movie 'SPEED'. This set, worn by lead actress Sandra Bullock, includes the highly distinctive Arizona Wildcats sweat top as heavily referred to by both Dennis Hopper and Keanu Reeves in the speeding bus scenerio.
Also included is the light flowery dress that Bullock wore. This is one of 4 sets used in the movie according to information from Fox Studios wardrobe. Since at least 2 of the other sweat tops from the wardrobe set had noticable "fake blood" stains (according to dealer sources and from a set sold in London in 2003), it is very possible that this was the actually referenced sweat top and logo that was detailed in the movie.
There is noticable wear on both pieces. The dress has minor damge on the left sleeve, (edge piping is loose..3 inches) but easily restorable. The set was obtained by a woman in Queensland, Australia. She and a friend won a radio contest on B105 Brisbane in 1995. The contest was called "A Day in the Life of Keanu Reeves" and coincided with the film's video release. The grand prize was an all-expense paid trip to Los Angeles and a personal tour of 20th-Century Fox Studios. During the tour, an employee from the wardrobe department presented her with several items that Keanu Reeves wore on the film set as well as the Sandra Bullock worn sweat top and dress. We purchased the set directly from the owner. All of this is detailed in a statutory declaration along with other documentation from the original owner.
