My hobby is collecting autographs. I started doing this about 15 years ago, and then got out of it. I just started collecting again. Some of my autographs were obtained in person, some were purchased from reputable dealers and some were obtained through the mail by writing to the celebrity.

Excited!

This post is autograph related, but not about a new one I have received. On Sunday I took my nine "Community" autographs to a custom framing shop to see about getting them all put into a giant frame. I got a great quote on the price, so I decided to go ahead and do it. This guy's stuff is amazing and I can't wait to see what it looks like. He said I should be able to get it this weekend. Depending on how it turns out and my finances, I hope to continue putting my collections into frames and getting them up on the walls of the apartment. "Community" will go right above the fireplace. I'll be sure to post a pic on here once I get it.

Elizabeth Banks - 30 Rock, Hunger Games, Scrubs

Very pleased with this recent addition, although it did take a long time! I sent a letter, SASE and 8x10 on Sept. 13, 2010 and got my photo back signed and personalized on June 15, 2012. She's great, so it was well worth the wait.

In person successes - Laura Vandervoort, Summer Glau and James Marsters

I went to the Dallas Comic Con a few weekends ago and got a few autographs in person. It's always fun to get to meet and talk to people who's work you admire. I got to meet James Marsters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Smallville; Summer Glau from Firefly and the Terminator TV series (and a great guest appearance from Big Bang Theory; and Laura Vandervoort from Smallville and V. They were all great and some of the friendliest celebs I've met!

Super Success! Steve Carell - The Office, Anchorman, etc.

Thrilled beyond belief with this one. I've sent to Steve Carell several times at different movie sets. I believe I sent this one on May 17, 2011. I sent a letter, SASE and 2 8x10s. I received both back signed and personalized on May 30, 2012. I love that he put "I love lamp!" on the Anchorman pic!



Alan Ruck - Ferris Bueller, Spin City, Speed, etc.

Nice through the mail success a few days ago. I sent a letter, SASE and 2 4x6 photos to Alan Ruck on Dec. 16, 2010 and received both photos back signed and personalized on May 25, 2012. Long wait, but a nice success from "Cameron."
