I found this article while looking around and it's about creative way to collect autographs. I have several autographs around here somewhere, like Sam Elliot and Jeff Daniels. Although I never actually met them, my dad did. I have Mark Schultz and now I have Clive autographs too. Do you have any?

I have a few...

Bruce Jenner (athlete - met in an airport and caused him to choke on his eggs when I asked if he really ate his Wheaties (did commercial for them))
Ozzie Smith (baseball player)
Dennis Eckersley (baseball player)
Lindy Boggs - is the wife of the late Thomas Hale Boggs who disappeared in a plane crash. She took over his seat in the House of Representatives. I worked for her son.
Dale Earnhardt, Jr - Race Car driver (my favorite autograph) :P
Dale Earnhardt - Race car driver also and Junior's dad
Michael Waltrip
Clive Cussler ;)

Just curious, has the value of Earnhardt's autograph increased since he died?

Hiram, I have been told it has and from what I've seen on ebay, the value has certainly shot up from a few years ago.

The only ones I have is a matchbook signed by Bernie Shaw(lead singer Uriah Heep)
I also have a signed promo photo of Mostly Autumn and a signed Dvd from the same band and thats only because I am mentioned in the booklet,I sent it back to England and had the band sign it for me.
Nothing like being a long distance groupie :blink:

I only have one celebrity autograph that I know is original, and that is Jerry Van Dyke. I don`t know if you would count celebrity signatures on photos copied off for mass distribution, but I have a few of them. Oh, and I also have Donald Rumsfeld`s signature on my Cold War recognition certificate. w:

I have a Sean Connery autograph and besides that I only have some football players (not a big fan of the sport, my friend is though and he got me the autograph), and a bunch of Major League Soccer players.

Almost any Earnhardt memorbelia is still a hot commidity. Recently sold several cards of him for $3-$5 dollars apiece on e-bay. party:

Also, I have violinist Lucia Micarelli's.

Lets see.......

Clive Cussler
The Nelson Twins
Otis Day & The Nights
Robin Tunney - End of Days & The Craft

I detect Soyica, that you are a Trekkie?

i only have cal ripkins when he played for the rochester red wings before he was called up. I don't get out much.i have some from other players who never went to far.w:

Jr or Sr? Oh man, I was so sad when Jr. retired! What eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

Just got an interesting addition to my collection today, for my birthday. A Black Hawk Down movie script autographed by Josh Hartnett, Ewen McGregor, Tom Sizemore, and Ridley Scott!! co:

Very Cool, Hiram th:

Thanks. I was flipping threw it and it looked a lot different from the movie, but it will be interesting to read anyways.

My 2 favorite autographs I have are from

Clive Barker and Anne Rice

I have others from New Orleans Chefs and Childrens Authors that are cool.
The way I see it one famous Clive down, one to go!!

I have the following:
Ken Shamrock's, of WWF & UFC fame.
Jeremy Roenick's
Chris Chelios'
and Vladislav Tretchak, arguably the best hockey goal-tender to ever play the game. I think that's it. hat:

I've got too many NASCAR and Star Wars (sci-fi dork and redneck), but after approximately 25 years I finally got my favorite author! (Not to mention his son and wife to be) Hopefully, someday I can get an in-person autograph from C.C. instead of a mail away signing. Thanks Poisoned Pen!

I collect a lot of autographs too. Six of my Cussler books are signed including three co-signed by Kemprecos. I have a few Bernard Cornwell autographed novels. I have a couple pictures autographed by original members of the 'Band of Brothers' made famous by the HBO mini-series, including Richard Winters. One of my favorites is a framed inscribed (to my uncle named after him) picture signed by Genaral Douglas MacArthur.

As for sports I have literally dozens of NY Yankee autographs from DiMaggio, to Mantle, to Mattingly, to Jeter, to Rivera and many others in between. Soem old Hartford Whalers players I have autographs from. I'm not into NASCAR at all but somewhere in my closet is a hat signed by Earnhardt, Alison, Pruitt, and about 5 other drivers who knew a mutual friend and driver.

I had lunch with James Earl Jones and he signed a Holland America Line stationary paper for me with the inscription 'May the force be with You!' I have a letter written to me by Bob Ballard shortly after he found the Titanic, I was fortunate enough to speak with him on the radio and he could not have been nicer.

I've also been fortunate enough to meet Dave Matthews and his band a few times over the years and have a few items signed by all of them. Probably some more that I am forgetting but thats some of my favorites off the top of my head. Nice to know I'm not the only one who has collected signatures.

Cheers ~ Jamie

yike: I can say without hesitation that I am jealous! Green with envy! I'm not like that either (at least I hope not)! WOW! Cool Jamie! Of course after the kind comment you gave me... :lol: Just call me Ms. Ballard....

t: th: beer:

Cheers Mrs. Ballard,

sorry to make you envious but we're even now... since your collection makes me jealous! Try writing Woods Hole C/O Bob Ballard and send him a link to your virtual tour, you may well get a nice letter in return. I know he is, or at least was, very receptive to mail from his fans. I will mail that bottle to you tommorrow, it proved tougher to package than I initially thought and I didn't want you to receive a pile of broken glass with a Titanic logo! Hope all is well with you!

All the Best ~ Jamie

Hmmm, write a letter huh? Worked with Clive Cussler........ :unsure:

I remember when i was a kid and wrote to the author, Clifford B. Hicks (the writer of the Alvin Fernald books) and he wrote back to me! :) And then I had the nerve to call him too. It was great talking to him, Naturally mother got mad when she saw the phone bill :lol:

Clive Cussler ;) (My FAVORITE author)
Curt Schilling (Baseball player)
Greg Maddox (Baseball Player)
Terry Bradshaw ( H.O.F football player)
Sonny Jurgenson (H.O.F football player)

There are probably more I can't think of right now!!

Just wanted to let you know what Art Monk is not in the Hall of Fame ;)

I have Mark Victor Hanson signed copy of Chicken Soup for the Soul and also a signed copy of wrestler/writer Mick Foley's autobiography.

When I was young I got autographs of former Red Wings Gerard Gallant and Paul Yserbart but I'm not sure if I could find them for you today.

I think that's about it. <_<
