IN THE MAIL
I began seriously collecting autographs in January of 1997. I do this as a personal hobby and never intend to sell any of the wonderful autographs I've collected. I've listed all of my successes and failures below in hopes that I can save some people a few stamps. All photos received are 8x10's unless otherwise noted. I will update frequently as the mailman brings new responses. Please note that the addresses that I used below may no longer be current. Check my address pages for updated addys. I've added a few scans from my collection to this page and more will be forthcoming.
