I was texting my friend last year and he randomly just sent a message saying something like "dam* no autographs!" and so of course I had to ask what he was talking about, told me everything, taught me how to do it and sent me on my own

We eached picked our favorite tv show and wrote to them and our teacher found the addresses to mail them too. i chose Alf at the time and i got a little postcard from nbc saying thanks for support or soemthign like that and i still have it somewhere just don't know where it was then i kinda didn't think anymore about it until i got in high school and found a new alltime favorite show lois and clard and i wrote dean cain and got a pic i'm not sure if its a preprint at the time or what but it was a nice picture and it came in on my birthday and i've been off an on since then until 2006-2007 when i seriously started collecting agian

As a kid I used to go to a lot of cheesy theatre shows on holiday with my grandparents! We used to collect autographs of the stars and that's how I started collecting ip! My first ttm was from Jan Pearson from Holby City back in 2004! She was my favourite actress on the show and I wrote her to say I was sad she was leaving and she sent me a signed photo! I got the bug then lol!

At 10 years old, Vincent Price was (still is) my favorite actor. My mom raised me on all the old horror movies. Vincent Price was doing a little segment on the Disney Channel called "Read, Write, and Draw," so I tried writing him a letter care of Disney Channel Magazine. A couple months later, I received back a color signed/inscribed photo of Mr. Price from Batman, as Egghead. That's pretty much what started it; I guess you could say it's Batman's fault because my next letter was to Burgess Meredith (it wasn't even a request, I just sent him a get well card when I read he was in the hospital), and I got a really nice Penguin photo from him. Being a kid, I had no idea about sending SASE so I was pretty lucky!

Okay so I haven't received any autographs yet.
But I decided I want to start collecting because...
My cousin got David Tennants for her birthday and im sooo jealous...
Since i was a kid i have had this love for famous people and ALWAYS wanted some autographs...
and my friend recently sent a letter to Rob Pattinson and got me thinking about sending letters and asking for autographs :) [uk]

I collect movie posters as I love cinema.
A new cinema opened near my place and they started to have movie premiere (promotional tour) with directors and actors. I started to have my posters signed :-)

My best souvenir of theses premieres: Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Audrey Tautou
