For centuries, notables and notorious figures have been asked for their autograph as a way to remember or record that moment in time when a fan or collector had the chance to meet them. The signature represents a ‘piece of that person.’ We sign credit card slips, we sign our high school yearbooks and we have our wedding reception guest book signed. ‘Collecting’ a signature is part of everyday life. It is no surprise that the hobby of collecting and treasuring celebrity autographs has become so large and internationally recognized. If one were to ask any random person on the street, in the classroom, at work or at the mall, ‘what would you do if you were in the presence of a famous person right now?’ the answer would almost always be the same. ‘I would shake his or her hand, take a picture, if I had my camera, or get an autograph.’

Autographs are displayed proudly in the walls of corporate record label offices, celebrity homes, museums, galleries and private collections worldwide. Restaurants gather signatures with pride from famous patrons who have walked their halls and dined at their establishments. An authentic rare autograph, to an autograph collector, is just as worthy of a space on the mantle as a choice painting or trophy. It represents a moment when a particular notable figure, celebrity or musician took the time to recognize a fan and add his/her personal signature to an item. Aside from original art, autographs can be considered one of the most unique collectibles. Coins, stamps, currency or trading cards are all produced in factories, usually in large quantities. Even rare coins, stamps or trading cards are very rarely unique to each piece. Autographs are not produced in a warehouse; each and every authentic autograph is truly one of a kind. It’s the hand touch from a celebrity directly to the actual object on which the signature rests, that makes signature collecting such a unique hobby.

Not everyone has the chance to meet celebrities or, when given the chance, may not be prepared with a choice item to get signed. Whether you are looking to add to your collection, purchase an autograph of your favorite band or celebrity, or simply buy a fantastic gift, JG Autographs, Inc. makes the search for a treasured autograph on a premium item a satisfying reality.
