I am thinking of starting to add historic autographs to my collection of mostly sports and Star Wars. I traditionally send out cards (aka baseball cards) because they are cheaper and easy to ship and store.

If I am going to start with historic people, I would like to send something unique and that I could send anyone (I like my collection to be consistent for when I decide to display). I heard that some send dollar bills to U.S. government people. Any other ideas of things to send for signature besides just photos?

Pres. (then Sen.) Barack H. Obama
VP (then Sen.) Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
Sen. Richard Durbin D-IL
White House Cheif of Staff (then Rep.) Rahm Emmanuel

and lots of others
