Fanbot's Autograph Collection

I have been collecting autographs for many years, but it wasn't until several years ago I realized just how many I have and set out to catalog them. In the '80's and early '90's, autographs were a part of the admission price. One could hear a person speak, then get an autograph on your own item or buy a picture for $5.00. Today, unfortunately, one has to pay $10.00 to $30.00 to get an autograph in person at many conventions. James Marsters is one I didn't mind paying $20.00 each for AT ALL.

Musicians, Authors, and Artists are normally happy to sign anything of theirs for free.

I would rather get a signature in person than buy one or happen upon it. My favorite experiences are; Ray Bradbury (I couldn't speak I was so overwhelmed), Laurie Anderson (Love her!), Leon Redbone (An early autograph. Great concert), Weird Al (Signed autographs for a 2 block long line of people after a wonderful sold-out concert), James Marsters (SIGH), Bruce Campbell (A double autograph. Nice guy), Frank Capra (Very old at the time. An early autograph for me), Anne Rice (Long line, but nice lady), and that wonderful CanCat in 1999 with Neil Gaiman, Charles Vess, and Lisa Snellings.

I don't buy autographs just to have them unless I happen upon them cheap or free. There are more signed items around than you may think. 

If you like signed books, keep your eyes open at book warehouses and bargain tables. Watch for "signed copy" stickers. Sometimes authors will send out dumps of books with one or two signed copies included. 

Another great place to look is Abebooks. www.abebooks.com. I have bought two signed books there after learning of the unfortunate deaths of Edward Gorey and Douglas Adams.

 

Notes on charts:

 

Met = Have I seen them in person?

AKA = Who they play or what they are. Some folks are in multiple categories and will be on multiple charts.

Item signed + what is the signature on?

    PB = Paperback Book  HB = Hardback Book

   Card = Trading card, what set, what number in set

   * = Multiple signatures on same item. See "Same As"

   Sizes like 8x10 are photos. B&W = Black & White. Pose or subject matter listed here

Personalized = anything else other than signature on item. ... is where name goes.

 

As I get more ambitious, I will scan some of these and post them. Drop me a note if you want to see any in particular.
