I also found my first Ace autograph in a storage box. I had it in an old, dirty frame with two Kiss trading cards, of which I have both sets still stored somewhere. Anyway, I ditched the frame and scanned them all together.
In the late 80's I met a friend who had run into all 4 members of Frehley's Comet outside their hotel, I forget which city. He realized how big of an Ace fan I was and gifted me this autograph, though he wouldn't part with the other band members'. A few years later he moved to Colorado and I haven't heard from him since, but I still have this.
This also seems an appropriate time to share the first Kiss poster again, original post here. I also have the aforementioned trading cards, Kiss On Tour board game, all 4 puzzles, die cast toy cars, tons of magazines and posters, several of all of their albums including rare releases, plus some t-shirts, pins, patches, hats, bandanas and more.
Well, things go in threes, so thank you for attending my Ace Frehley tribute posts this weekend. We did some more cleanup in the back yard so I'm delaying pictures of that until sometime this week. For now, here is Ace's biggest hit performed during his last live concert.
Farewell, Ace Frehley.

Great memories. I doubt there are many people who still have this sort of memorabilia - and there will be even fewr in future, now that tickets etc are electronic.
I always feel that every time a music maker that has meant a lot to me at some stage in the past dies, a little piece of me dies too.
I've enjoyed this little series, thanks.

Ozzy passing was tough, but it felt like Ozzy was everyone's. Ace passing felt much more personal to me. Thanks for reading, BW.
Yes, I do intend to sell stuff off... eventually.
Don't sell it! It will give you much more pleasure than the few dollars you will get.

I certainly won't sell everything. There's just so much that's been boxed away for so long, though. But, I've been saying that for years and still have it, so...
