Parents on Autograph Collecting

[Crazy_Kiss_Fan.]

I started collecting when I was 16 and I just told my parents it's a new hobby. I still collect. What happened was. Since I was using so much ink(for printing off pictures & letters) and stamps I had to pay a little of money for both. Since I was using them more. Try saying something like that if you could and can contribute.
But when I get an autograph in the mail my Dad gets excited and asks if it's real or not. He was really impressed when I got a reply from Alan Rickman, which was my 1st try at a London address. Though I had to pay for the IRC's myself.

My parents have always supported me with my collecting. My dad always asks me if I got anything, and is excited to see who I got. My mom, too, but not so much. She's busy with other things, lol.

My mother STILL gets excited when I call her to tell her something came, especially if it's someone she likes as well (Lee Meriwether, Maureen O'Hara, James Earl Jones, Barbara Rush, etc.).
