What is your favorite autograph in your collection?

Music item a Stevie Ray Vaughan autograph where he has written " Play it all with a feeling " Stevie Ray Vaughan 89'. I had just told him I had never seen anyone play the guitar with such feeling. Anyways, it was the last time he would come to Ottawa a year later he would die tragically so that is a real special autograph.
Sport item is tough I have thousands .. Probably a 1975 First Edition signed Muhammad Ali "The Greatest " book , it is the nicest Ali signature I have ever seen and he has signed the book twice on the first 2 blank pages. along with 2 of his Ali Quotes "Love is a net... also Dated each December 26 19-76 PEACE. This is when Muhammad signed in LARGE letters , have shown this book to Steve Jackson the foremost Ali expert in the world and he says it is one of the most unique and nicest signed Ali books he has ever seen. Hockey stuff probably my Team Canada 1972 Daniel Parry Signed lithograph has all the members signatures only missing Bill Goldsworthy who was dead at the time of the signing.It is the only official signing done by all the living members of Team Canada 1972., To any Canadian kid old enough to remember this is the biggest moment in Canadian Sports history when Canada won the 72 Summit Series against the Russians , Everyone remembers exactly what they where doing when Paul Henderson scored the series winning goal with only 34 seconds remaining in the final game 8 in Russia, I was in grade 1 at school and the everyone was pulled out of class to watch the final 3rd period on an old black n' whit T.V . I remember this like it was yesterday

You can ask anyone living or dead for their autograph. Who would it be?
