OF ALL the items in the PCAS collection, this is something I have a real soft spot for 🙂
It's a Peter Cushing Tarkin Pin / Badge! It was given to me by Gladys
Fletcher, who started PCAS back in the 1950's. Seems it was given to her
by a fan back in 1977, and she passed it on in 1978. I love the font
and considering how old it is now, it's aged rather well. I don't
collect pins and I have only worn it to a convention back in 1980. It's
lived in a little box for safe keeping since then. There are now many
pins, badges, fridge magnets and all sorts depicting Peter as 'the most
evil man in the universe!' but as I have never seen this pin anywhere
else, it's pretty special . . Over at the FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE we've invited everyone to share images of any special or vintage Cushing, Tarkin or Star Wars pins, and the results are quite interesting!
THERE HAS BEEN AN ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY, of what is seen by some fans as an interesting addition to the army of #STARWARS characters of actor! British actor #RICHARDEGRANT is playing #GeneralPryde, a villain of similar #TARKIN proportions in #THERISEOFSKYWALKER, released this December, is most exciting! I wonder if we will be sharing vintage tin pins of Grant's Thrawn in 40 odd years time??? I do hope, Grant is my top five favourite actors. We wait, with much anticipation and I don't think, we 'Over Estimate His Chances!' 😉😊😀
