The situation in which I obtain a signature is more important to me than the signature itself. The autograph is just a souvenir, a reminder of a good show or a nice chat. I only have a few and I usually get them along the way, I'm not an autograph hunter. The one I cherish the most I got from Louisiana Red, a blues legend. I was very impressed by him, his passion for his music and how kind he was to everybody, so that one is special to me.
You can buy autographs but you can't buy experiences.
I'm not keen on buying autographs but if someone just likes to collect everything related to their favorite artist, actor or sportsman or autographs in general - that's fine. Some people don't have the chance to meet their favorite celebrities (especially if they are already dead) and depend on autograph dealers. Each to their own.
