What kind of member are you? (Check as many as apply.)

Collector

What would you like to tell us about yourself, your collecting, or business.

I mostly enjoy autographs on pictures, but I also get them on baseballs, trading cards, index cards, napkins, or whatever. I really only ask for autographs of people I either admire, or make me smile. I've met plenty of celebrities where seeing them, or saying hello is enough. I hate the fact that I can't hang a lot of my material to show others, for they fade so easily. I've gotten so many autographs firsthand, but also some by mail, and still others I've purchased. I love seeing other peoples collections!
