Memorabilia -> Autographs: Original -> Movies
If you are seeking celebrity autographs, there are a few options available to you. For some however, if you don’t live where there are a lot of celebrities, it can be a little difficult to get the celebrity autographs you want. However, there are still quite a few options that are available, even if your favorite stars haven’t been with us for many years. Here’s how you can find the best autographs.
1. Professional Dealers
This is probably the easiest way to get celebrity autographs. They are typically found in towns like Los Angeles and New York City, where there is a high concentration of stars. These specialty stores sell merchandise as well as photos that have been signed by your favorite stars. When you’re in a hurry or looking for a popular autograph, this is probably the best way to get one. You may need to pay a bit more however, since many of these dealers do charge premium prices.
2. Online Auctions
This option works best for those that do not live in an area where celebrity autographs are easily found. You will have access to the best dealers online as well as regular people that are trying to monetize their personal collection. If you are looking for a rare celebrity autograph, or if you just like to have a wide selection, this is the best option for you. Prices for autographs at online auctions do vary, and the most popular stars will usually bring the highest prices. However, there are exceptions to every rule and with careful shopping, you can find a great deal.
3. Get one on your own
This option works best for those that live in Los Angeles or New York, or have access to a steady stream of celebrities. However, you can get one on your own even in your own town, if there is a special book signing or if you just happen to bump into a star on the street. Most are more than willing to give you an autograph, but it is important to remember that they are people too and like their privacy. Always be polite if you approach a celebrity for their autograph. In most cases, you will be able to get one for free, so this is a great option if you are on a budget.
4. Auction Houses
If you are seeking very rare celebrity autographs from stars like Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, or even Elvis, the best place to look would be at a professional auction house such as Sotheby’s. These auction houses help private clients with their collections and this is the best way to get a really valuable autograph. Be prepared to spend quite a bit more for these, but you will have the added benefit of knowing that the resale value will be quite high.
These are just a few ideas to get you started on your hunt for celebrity autographs. If all else fails, and the star is living, you can always write to their agent to ask for one. Be advised however, that most will be reprints and not originals if you do decide to go this route.
