Advantages: interesting, exciting, fun

Disadvantages: none

I have been collecting autographs for quite a while now and find it a very exciting and interesting hobby. Some may disagree and say it is very boring waiting on the places to write back but I actually find it fun writing to the addresses for autographs and thanking certain famous people for being so great etc.

I have so far received 2 autographs through the mail which is brilliant and it is so exciting to know they are authentic. Another way is not to write but to buy autogrpahs from dealers which I have done on one occasion and the photo was beautigful, just gorgeous.

You usually write to fanclubs or agencies when looking for autographs but I sometimes write to venues for singers or film sets for famous people. The good thing is on a filnm set if more than one person you like is there it saves postage.

I usually send my own pictures and SAE and an international reply coupon for abroad. The postage is not that bad considering you get something nice back.

Although this may sound very positive it is not always very easy and a success sometimes you will get letters sent back and have to write to different places more than once. To find out address places like stararchive.com are good to get addresses and see what has been a success.

If you do not want to get authentic autogrpahs or find out they don't write through the post instead of buying a real one you can buy a cheaper pre=print which is ok.

I keep a list of who I send to in my book which is easier to keep a note of. In the end you just keep the autogrpahs in a safe place and it can build up into a lovely collection.
