May I ask, what is the attraction with aquiring autographs from Disney characters, such as Mickey Mouse? I think the photos are signed by the person who reads the mail, which would be a secretary.

Hi CDolan02
Thanks for your posting. I suppose it's "horses for courses" when it comes to Disney character autographs. I know some people make Disney autos the basis of their collection, and others can't abide them.
It is true the auto comes from the character mail department, but Disney autos are a great way for young or new autograph collectors to get their first autographs.
I think the joy of getting something signed through the mail is the hook which brings new people into the hobby, and for that we should all be grateful

I agree with Ian
Also, surely there is more than one person being Mickey so if they did sign them themselves they would still be from completely different people and the handwriting is Disney so that would mean having to teach every person there to write like that

I write to disney characters because it's fun and I grew up with the characters and it's cool to have their autograph though it's not really the character. It's just fun and imaginitive.

Thanks everyone! Would anyone know if the autographs from Elmo are authentically signed by a person, or if they are done by a computer? I love Elmo

I think that Elmo autographs are acutally signed by a real person. I have looked at some of the Elmo autographs and sometimes it's in different hand writing. Well even if it is a computer, it still gets personalized with your name. Elmo is the greatest. He was my very first success ever!! And it only took me a week to get it

Well I have gotten 2 of the Disney ones but I got them specifically for my daughter. She loves the princesses and other characters.

I also grew up with Disney and even if they are secretarial (which they are), we still have the satisfaction of having a signed photo of the people we loved as kids
