Whenever I am asked to name my favorite autograph in my autograph collection, I always answer that it is my Alfred Hitchcock autograph.  That has been my standard answer for many years.  There are, however, autographs in my autograph collection that I consider to be personal favorites, even though many autograph collectors may consider them to be unremarkable.  Regardless, I would never want to be without them.

The best example of an autograph in my autograph collection that is a personal favorite, even though many autograph collectors may consider it to be unremarkable, is my Steven Spielberg autographed E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial photo.  The autograph is neither rare nor valuable to many autograph collectors.  Those considerations mean absolutely nothing to me.  I would never wish to part with it.

My Steven Spielberg autographed E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial photo is a personal favorite autograph in my autograph collection, despite it being considered neither rare nor valuable by many autograph collectors.

I love the cropping of the 8x10 photo, as well as the boldness and the placement of the autograph.  I also love the way that the blue Sharpie presents itself on the image.  The autograph is a personal favorite autograph in my autograph collection for those reasons, as well as the simple fact that Steven Spielberg is my favorite director of all time, and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is my favorite Steven Spielberg film.  I absolutely love the autograph.

As autograph collectors, we often become concerned with unnecessary considerations that distract us from the enjoyment of the hobby.  Do you have a personal favorite autograph in your autograph collection that many autograph collectors may consider to be unremarkable?  If so, what is it?

Very nice, Rob.  I always enjoyed that film much more than most people.  I am sure that you feel the same way about it.  Thanks for sharing.

These two autographs aren’t really worth very much but mean a lot to me because I was able to reach out to both of these gentlemen before they passed away and really let them know how I admired their work. I grew up on 60’s/70’s television and MTM and Mannix were two of my favorites. The Asner is signed on a MTM merit badge that I won from Nick at Nite in the 90’s for a trivia contest they held.

It was very nice of Gene Wilder to send an additional autograph that was personalized, BC.  Very cool.

Very nice, Eric.  You may recall that I am a very big fan of The Honeymooners as well.

I love the Ed Asner autograph, Nick.  That was a great idea.  Very unique.

Thanks Mike :) And away we go! I was very pleased to complete that set with me "in it". Trix was a doll. Very sweet."...Mr. Gleason never signed anything..."

I got a hug and a kiss :)

Never in my wildest dreams...
