Collecting Celebrity Autographs and Collectibles

By Mark Turgeon


Across the nation, millions of Americans spend tons of money each year on their favorite past time, which may seem useless to some: collecting items. Some collect action figures, comic books, or trinkets and knick-knacks; others collect celebrity autographs and signed memorabilia that can turn a 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).

With the rise of the internet, the world of the collectibles niche is easier for the hobby because you can buy and sell your items on websites like eBay rather than going to card shows or conventions.

Baseball cards, football cards, and other sports cards are all great collectibles, and only made more valuable by the addition of that prized signature. For some reason, celebrity autographs seem to amaze and impress our society, as if they were some sort of status signature.

Average people signed their name millions of time throughout their life, and it completely worthless in street value. However, is a celebrity autographs a photograph or poster, or even a napkin it automatically becomes a value.

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. For example, in the 90's, an autographed picture of New Kids on the Block would have been worth thousands.

People idolize celebrities and rock stars and for some d-list celebrity autographs may be worth more to the dedicated fan than to another person. All celebrity autographs are special in one way or another if if they are signed on a napkin or piece a trash.

It doesn't matter if you are into movies, music, television, or major sports; there are plenty of celebrity autographs to be found on the internet. If you never get the chance to go out and get your own, you can buy just about anything with just about any signature, by simply searching online. One thing to keep in mind is to verify anything you purchase before you agree to buy it.

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.
