making money

[The_Champion]

[quote="Fudgemonkey"]I'm mixed on this topic...For example, when I write emails to celebs, I tend to write more than one by accident (I can never keep track of who I write to)...So now I have double Bob Dole, Al Roker, John Travolta, and Jim Davis. I have no need for two, so I think it makes sense to sell them.

I can see accidentally getting doubles through e-mail (but come on, who would buy an Al Roker? lol), but a lot of people just like to take advantage of the good will of celebrities and get as many as possible. I don't think that is right. I don't think that it's right even to sell stuff to fund autograph collecting. Don't make the hobby harder for others because you don't want to spend $8 on a book of stamps. Selling autographs is what makes a lot of celebrities not sign. As an autograph collector you want them to sign. By selling the autograph, you're ulitmately making this hobby harder on yourself.

Hi,
If you get doubles, why not sell them for charity?

true - why not sell the doubles you have for a charity? YOu can always donate them to charity auctions.

I think selling autos you get ttm is just plain wrong because you dont know the authenticity of them. However I don't mind selling autos I get IP because I know they're 100% real. Also, getting autos IP takes up a lot of time and gas driving around town so I need to lower the costs any way possible. I would never ask a celeb to sign more than 2 photos though.

Selling for charity is different than selling and keeping the money for yourself. I would sell for charity, if I was going to sell at all.
