Living in San Diego, I hear more Padres news than I care to. But out in Peoria, Arizona for the pre-season, the Padres were greeted by boxing legend Muhammad Ali. Tony Gwynn Jr, who has met some big names, seemed thrilled, saying "It's the first time I've ever been star-struck."

Only a few players got autographs of the living legend.

Across the U.S. in Jacksonville, Florida, Tim Tebow, who created a bit of controversy with his Super Bowl commercial, isn't even expected to go…

Well, the Oscars were given out. And, very few autographs at the big event.

At least, that's what is usually the case.

It was nice to see George Clooney running up and down the chain-link fence and shaking hands and signing a few autographs (he had a Sharpie in his hand).

There were a few other autograph related stories regarding the Oscars, but they completely slip my mind now. Can anyone else add anything?

Everyone has their favorite movie of all time. Thankfully, living in the internet age, we can go back in time and learn so much more of these films today, than we ever thought we knew when the film came out. Besides IMDB and other information sites, there are many fan tribute sites to some of the best movies ever made. These are the sites that I like to visit, as you get a very personal tribute to these movies of…

One of the coolest items of Rock and Roll Memorabilia to get signed, are DRUM HEADS. Drum Heads, as far as instruments are concerned, are one of the easiest items to carry around as you are working on your autographing quest, leaves plenty of room for multiple band members or inscriptions, and once finished store very well, and/or frame very easy. Try using BLUE ink for your signatures (longest lasting color) and for me, frosted heads over the clear ones.…

I'm not a big fan of Leno. Well, he is great about signing autographs. I just don't think he's got great comedic instincts.

On his first day back behind the Tonight Show desk (and a funny bit he did in which they look for a new desk by going door to door), he actually had a funny show.

Jamie Fox opened a bottle of champage and handed it to a woman in the audience.

Over on Letterman, his friend Bill Murray game out with crutches. He joked about a…

Okay, okay. It's really a parody of the buddy-cop movies of the 80s. And, it's a nice pairing to have the very funny Tracy Morgan, and Bruce Willis, the man who's played a cop in over 100 movies (or so it seems).

It was okay. It had enough laughs that I didn't mind seeing it. It could've been so much better, though.

Anyway, the cool thing is that to pay for his daughters wedding, Willis is going to sell a 1952 Topps baseball card of Brooklyn Dodger Andy Pofko.…

Hi everyone,

We're very lucky in New York to have a large variety of concerts to attend and/or collect autographs at on any given day. We are equally lucky to have such an amazing variety of venues to do so at. One popular venue is BB King's Blues Grill in Times Square. The club is often a venue for tribute bands, but, on occasion, some of rock and roll's true legends perform there. In fact, in the past year, just by waiting at the stage door there, I have gotten in-person glimpses of…

Modern Family is one of the new shows that's actually pretty good.

On tonights episode, one of the kids reads their siblings diary. A fight insues and one sister ruins the other sisters autographed poster of Maya Angelou, which she said she cherished more than anything in the world. She also mentions how long she had to stand in line to get it signed.

We can all feel your pain.

In my latest issue of SPIN MAGAZINE, they did a quick interview with…

One of the readers here, Bob, emailed me asking if I heard about a Superman comic book that sold for a million bucks.

Having collected basketball cards as a kid, I remember thinking how crazy it was when a Honus Wagner baseball card would sell for that amount. Heck, a Bill Russell rookie card I bought for $45, was once deemed the most valuable basketball card at over a thousand bucks. For some reason, that number dropped significantly years ago.

Any collectable…

On TMZ Monday night, they showed Charlie Sheen leaving his fathers place in Los Angeles. He signed lots of autographs, and took photos with every fan that wanted one. Nobody asked him about his recent court case, and I'm guessing, he was on his best behavior with the fans as a PR move. But hey -- if more autograph collectors can score this way, cool.

Musician Chris Brown, best known for beating the tar out of Rhianna, was seen leaving a place and taking photos with fans. When…

I just finished and published a small Dale Earnhardt Jr. signature blog on the new Autograph Magazine main website. You can view it here http://autographmagazine.com/2010/02/dale-earnhardt-jr-signing-habits-signature-variations/

While this is not the Dale Jr signature study I am writing, this is a breif look at Dale's vintage and current signatiures.

Let me…

On TMZ, a few different times this week, I've seen him signing autographs outside of various clubs and TV shows.

I swear, that show is the best for seeing celebs and what their signing habits are.

The staff of TMZ said he doesn't usually sign, let alone talk, but with Shutter Island coming out tonight, he's doing the smart PR thing.
