Fast forward as in the middle of the pandemic, Galaxy Con began offering virtual signigs. These were not send-ins to private signings or even conventions. No, these are sent to the actor's private home, along with markers and whatnot. Many services are doing these now, and I guess it's a bit risky as the item is mailed a few times and you're hoping an actor doesn't mess it up. I emailed GC a number of times, but they were pretty good with communication. Unfortunately, Mr. Siddig was on location filming for a few months, so despite paying/sending in February, he didn't get to the items until April. I finally got it back in one piece about 10 days back. It came out fantastically, and unsurprisingly he added character name free of charge! At this point, it really just needs the Captain, but I doubt Avery Brooks will ever sign again, though I guess one could hold onto hope?
