There was once a time when celebrities would be happy to add an inscription to an autograph. Many times, I have asked for a famous quotation or statistic to be added, and many times the celebrity would be pleased to do so. They are typically very excited to meet a collector who is familiar with their accomplishments and work.
Inscriptions have become more popular. Unfortunately, they have also become more expensive. The days of celebrities adding free inscriptions have become rare over the years. I recently paid Don Mattingly to add HIT MAN to my custom New York Yankees baseball jersey.
My Don Mattingly autographed custom New York Yankees baseball jersey. I hope to add three more inscriptions to it in the future.
I often wonder if less is more when adding inscriptions to autographs. The appearance of a single autograph on an item may present much nicer than an item that contains a lot of ink. Do you prefer inscriptions? If so, how many are too many?
Very nice, Rich.
Depends on who's doing the inscriptions. I've specifically sought out inscribed books by certain Canadian authors because it's different from their usual norm (the standard "best wishes" or "for..."), even if it means paying a bit of a premium.
I agree about paying an additional fee for an inscription. It is often worth it.
Nicely done! Looks great.
Thanks, Eric!
