Collect Autographs Through the Mail TTM
This has been the tried and true method for collectors through the years. It's cost-effective, with just the price of postage. The downside is you never know for absolutely certain the autograph is 100% authentic. Depending on the celebrity though and with good research, you can be fairly confident what celebrities are good signers through the mail. What's more, finding mailing addresses has become a lot easier with the Internet.
In-Person at Celebrity Book Signings
I have had great success at celebrity book signing events over the years. These events provide access to many celebrities that would otherwise be very difficult. Think former US Presidents, and presidential candidates. Other A-List celebrities such as Madonna, and Paul McCartney have participated in these events - tough signers who would be very tough to get otherwise!
Sports Autograph Signings
Many current and former athletes attend the autograph events and sign for a fee. Depending on the person, expect to pay anywhere from $20 to $200 for their signature.
Some of My Favorite Autograph Sites
I'm always on the lookout for autograph sites that allow me to contact and purchase autographs directly from the athlete or celebrity.
Autograph Books
Before the surge of interest in autographs and memorabilia, autograph books were the primary way for collectors to obtain and display their collection of celebrity signatures.
