Collecting Genuine Celebrity Autographs
Throughout, the United States and some parts of the world, people spend tons of money on memorabilia and autographs. People collect all sorts of items from baseball card, antiques, comic books or other knick knack items. Other people collect celebrity autographs and autographed signed memorabilia that can rise in profit.
For years, people were limited to toting their collections from one trade show to the next, or to the nearest convention (which is usually hours away for most). Now, however, with the explosion of the internet and companies like eBay, anyone can sell anything from the comfort of their own home. This is creating a greater trade and purchase market for those in the collectibles niche.
Collecting all sorts of sports cards is a great hobby, but when you get them signed that makes their value rise. Celebrity autographs seem to amaze all kinds of people as if they were signed by a greater power.
Everyday average people sign their name countless times, but their signature holds no value to the collector. When a celebrity signs their name on a specific item the value automatically rises.
The price of a signed item will vary, depending of course on the item as well as who signed it. All celebrity autographs have some sentimental value to someone, but not all of them have the same street value as others.
A great example would be when the band the New Kids on the Block first came to scene, their autographs would be worth some dough. Today as the band made a comeback the value would not be the same when they first came out, but you might get that dedicated fan willing to pay a lot for it. To many ink on a normal piece of paper does not mean much to anyone, but because we live in a society where we have a idolization of celebrities that piece of paper holds a value especially if it was signed by Bob Dylan.
Many celebrity autographs can be found on the internet in all fields which include movies, music, sports, historical, or even political people. If you can not get out to get your own autographs and do not have access to meet your favorite celebrity, you can find just about anything searching online. While searching online always keep in mind if the item is genuine. Do research of the seller along with the signature, by comparing to an authentic one.
With all the great memorabilia out there, it's often hard to tell the real items from the fakes and forgeries. Sadly, people do make a living selling fake celebrity autographs, so you should always find someone who can validate the item and it's authenticity before you pay thousands of dollars for something that is fake and worthless. - 2361
