Situation with Tom Kane and Galactic Productions LLC
Hello, as I’m sure many of us are aware, legendary voice actor Tom Kane passed away yesterday.
Today I came across something very disheartening and frankly disgusting. On eBay the seller and well know management agency Galactic Productions LLC has listed several autographed items by Tom at a very high price.
This is nothing out of the ordinary when celebrities pass, but there is something especially repulsive about this. Shortly before Tom passed, he made a very rare appearance at Lexington Comic Con in March, despite his poor health due to a stroke. At this event it was explicitly stated that Tom would NOT be signing items due to his limited mobility.
This company has listed items that were seemingly signed at this event, based on the fact that one of the pictures in the listing shows Tom at this event. In addition to this, comparing the signature to older signatures, you can tell that the most recent signature is very shaky.
Now I am going to be honest, I am making A LOT of assumptions, but to seemingly make Tom sign things at the expense of his health, at an event that prohibited signing due to his health, and then to list them for a very inflated price is disgusting.
I sincerely hope this isn’t the case and that Galactic Productions can clarify what the situation is but if it is how it seems, action needs to be taken against them or awareness must be made.
If anyone has more info on this please comment🙂
