AUTOGRAPHS

There's a certain intrigue in collecting autographs. IN a new era of e-mails, it seems hard-copy letters are a thing of the past in some cases. I, as a autograph hound , have enjoyed the hunt!

Some celebrities who have answered my mail:

• Tom Yawkey   Red Sox Owner and HOF member
• Jackie Kennedy
• George HW Bush
• Bill Clinton (In Person)
• Hillary Clinton
• Lyndon B.Johnson
• Ross Perot

A true autograph enthusiast floods the way with requests. Baseball players are a prime source of signed baseballs. Prices are very high regardless. Forgeries are common so you must be very careful.

My most valuable signed autograph was that of Ben Franklin's on a letter.
Auctioned baseballs of Babe Ruth and Connie Mack fetched $2,450 each at the Delude Auction!

I watch my mail box every day with the hopes of getting a response from celebs! The most recent one received is Alex Trebek of JEOPARDY! fame.
Answered letters prove the senders are human!
