When I was a kid my Dad always took me to baseball games. Before the game I always saw players signing autographs. So I asked my Dad if I could try and here I am 17 years later.

It is fun meeting the celebrity and getting the occasionally autograph unfourtunely it can be a rough business though. I have been doing it for almost 12 years now and there are good times and bad times.

i started because i saw that it was inexpensive and i wanted a piece of history, film , sports and I like getting things in the mail

I did it to make you ask me why I did it.

I did it because it sounded fun and exciting. It's fairly inexpensive and it gives me something to look forward to.

I guess because I just wanted to own a little piece of history, or have something from somebody associated with TV shows, films, or music that I really enjoy. If it has to do with history, I like to get a little momento from a person associated with that particular event.

I started after being influenced by watching a Tv programme (Antique Roadshow) and now it has turned into my hobby. Also my Nan was a great collector. She had some of the biggest names, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby etc.. but then she lost the whole album! what a shame. So why did you start collecting?
