Music wise i would say The Beatles, Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Zeppelin, Nirvana, Jim Morrison, Michael Jackson, Pink Floyd, Queen, and The Eagles and from their everyone kinda seems equal, but i known im missing some greats. At least thats my list for classic rock n roll.

But among all genres, the Beatles and Hendrix would have to be in their, then probably Monroe, Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan, and maybe Jim Morrison?

Most people can not afford the older big names, you should make the title read most wanted autographs, sadly I would think most people nowadays collect a name like Jeter , GaGa Spears and the like before they even think of the older rockers or movie stars?

Baseball = Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Hank Aaron, Bob Feller, Tom Seaver, and everybody starts their Baseball Hall of Fame collection off with a thru the mail request to Bobby Doerr.

Football = Jim Brown, Joe Montana, Johnny Unitas, Walter Payton, Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smith, Dick Butkus, Gale Sayers, Chuck Bednarik, and last year everybody racked up on Peyton Manning thru the mail.

Mickey mantle, jeter, Jordan, Peyton are a few sport autos that come to mind. For entertainment I guess Jackson, Pacino (since he signs so much), and the Beatles nowadays but obviously more forgeries than authentic signatures are bought.

Personally I would take Jim Morrison over all of the other music artists in a heartbeat. I saw a really nice Jim Morrison piece for sale at the Kenneth W. Rendell Gallery a couple of weeks ago. Way out of my price range but nobody can fault me for dreaming. Maybe one day.
