I purchase autographs constantly. This year alone in just 3 months I've purchased 83 autographs from all sources. on and off line auctions,dealers, other collectors etc. etc. Only 46 TTM. I agree with Andy if you can't get it thru the mail or in person what's wrong with buying it? Considering that over 60% received thru the mail are preprints, autopens and secretarials.(not my stats, there was a study done).

Sometimes I buy autographs of dead Czech actors and actresses or people who don't respond my requests. And I buy it in secondhand bookstores or in Czech on-line auction. But I like trading more than buying because it makes some of my colleagues happy.

I only buy autographs signed by celebrities who are impossible to get TTM and I get them from probably the only trusted dealer in the world.

Sorry but thats one of the most ridiculous things Ive ever read on this forum.

---------------------------

Questions for everyone who voted no -

1) If you want a celebs autograph, and you cant get it TTM or IP, what is wrong with buying it?

2) If buying is so wrong, then trading must also be wrong - as its the same reason (not personal, etc)

3) If a celeb has passed away, and you were a fan, is it also wrong to buy their autograph?

i hate when people try to sell autographs... it doesn't have that much value to you... autographs are something that shouldn't be brought...

While I agree to a point, some are impossible to get TTM, and near imposisble to get IP, so buying is the only way.

I agree with dgangel, it's a lot more fun to get autographs yourself..but I am planning on buying a Leonardo DiCaprio autograph because he is impossible to get TTM.

no, its more interesting & worth it if I can get the autograph myself, either through the mail or ip.

Yes, usually if the person is impossible to get TTM, or its a piece of memorabillia that can only be purchased.

I must say though, the way you have put "NO!" suggests you hate the idea yourself, and yet you have stated no reasons.
