why would someone want a particular stars autograph ?

i have friends that dont always understand my liking for autogrpahs or why i would want to do such a thing, well as i have mentioned before, for me its an interest that is also a talkign point and its the hope of getting an autograph of a person that may not be a legend at the moment but give it a few years they could go on to be a real hero to many.
so sometimes its worthwhile getting the autograph of the person that may not be the person everyone is screaming for at a premiere or a sporting event, it may be worthwhile getting the b list person who si not yet the susperstar.
so it was with interest i was reading an article about someones autograph and why anyone would want it. the full autograph article is here in the ny post.

this guy is levi johnston  - signing an autograph

so if you are not in the know, this guy went out with sarah palins daughter and got her pregnant, nto the biggest star, but hey he could get involved ina  huge scandal. if i was there would have gotten his autograph? you bet i would, why turn it down?

Guy Auctions Autograph Suit Of Famous Celebrity People

there is a guy who is auctioning off a suit he has held onto for so many years, 35 i think, and the unique thing about this auction is that the suit he is selling has the autographs of famous celebrity people he has collected. the auction is going on ebay and i am going to monitor it just out of curiosity as its a great bit of memorabilia, its probably very personal to him but he is doing the auction listing in order to raise funds for a charity which is always nice and very generous of him.

the suit dates back to 1965, which makes the thing older than i am, and some of the names on there that you will eb able to identify are Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Frank Sinatra, Henry Fonda, Bette Midler, Cher, Meryl Streep, Lena Horne, Elizabeth Taylor, Andy Warhol, Faye Dunaway, Christopher Reeve, Mary Tyler Moore, Ginger Rogers, Mickey Rooney, Jimmy Stewart, President and Michelle Obama and many more.
so you can see that this is a unique garment, and there are one or 2 names off that list that i would certainly like to add my collection, most notably christopher reeve, who himslef has been very unfortunate in his life.

its auctions like this that really hold my interest in the world of collecting autographs as its really interesting to see the lengths some people go to in order to get autographs and over such a long period of time as well.

famous baseball players autographs

i was reading a really interesting article yesterday on a guy who collects famous baeball players autographs and has a collection already of baseball cards that he gets his favourite players to sign and it made me laught because the article said about how many sharpies he had gone through famous baseball players autoraphs article and that really resonates with me as i am only too aware just how quickly you can go through these little guys , and its always worthwhile having a spare, as i have sepent so amny hours waiting round in queues and it would be a nightmare if your damn pen ran out of ink at the crucual moment after all that effort and time you han around trying to entertain yourself in the long wait that is collecting famous autographs.

this baseball was signed by tino martinez -
A very quiet ballplayer fro the Seattle Mariners joined the Bronx Bombers at the beginning of the '96 season. His name was Tino Martine2. Tino came through in a big way for the Yankees, who were looking for their first World Series Championship in a long time. Tino put up some incredible numbers with his new team as he hit 175 homeruns in his 6 seasons with the Yankees. His best yea5 came in 1997 when he blasted 44 home runs and drove in a mind-boggling 144 RBI. But Tino's claim to fame was his ability to perform in the clutch. In the playoffs, Tino had countless big hits to lead the Yankees to four World Series Championshipw. Take home a NY Yankees legend with this Tino Martinez hand signed official MLB baseball.

Elvira Mistress Of the Night Autograph

I was really pleased with  this autograph i recieved from elvira. I am a huge fan of elvira mistress of the night and have loved her movies especially around the halloween time of year. elvira has a great website which is funky and modern, and very informative including a bio and some great pictures of the lady herself. this elvira autograph is a great addition to my collection and will go into my movie memorabilia section of my collection.

all about elvira -

Obviously elvira is not her real name, she was born named Cassandra Peterson, was born in 1951 and is an American actress. Elvira gained fame on Los Angeles television station KHJ wearing a black, gothic, cleavage-enhancing gown as host of a show called movie macabre which was a show that was on tv weekly and dealt in the horror realm . Her sexy gothic vampire style appearance is offset by her comical persona, which may also be described as quick witted  and sharp personality.

elvira is not just a movie star, she has also recorded records since the early 1980s, her discography is as follows:-

Elvira recorded several songs for her Halloween albums in the 1980s and 1990s. Here is her discography:

Elvira and the Vitones 3-D TV (Rhino Records, 1982)

Vinyl Macabre (Rhino Records, 1983)

Elvira Presents, Haunted Hits (Rhino Records, 1987)

Elvira Presents, Monster Hits (Rhino Records, 1994)

Elvira Presents Revenge of the Monster Hits (Rhino Records, 1995)

Elvira's Gravest Hits (Shout! Factory, 2010)
 
so you can see, this is really a great famous celebrity autograph to add to my collection and one i am proud of.
