My Mum likes my hobby. Sometimes, if she likes person who I write to, she asks me to ask this person for an autograph for her too. My Dad thinks it's a stupid west of money, but I think, that he only says things like that, but thinks it's nice, 'cause in work he brags these autographs.

My Mum wants me to do this so I can sell them on E-Bay, and my dad thinks that it's a bit sad.
My friends think it's a bit loony.

:lol: Yeah..whenever I get a new autograph my mother asks 'How much money can you get for it? Can't we cut the personalization off and sell it?' I won't ever sell my authentics. Never. This is my hobby, not a job!

My mum says that. I've requested some for "my little brother" to sell to get a bit of postage paid, but my sister stole them :mad:

Not that many people know I collect, but my mom and sister will try to figure out who it's from if I'm not home when they get the mail.

My mom and grandma say its a very childish hobby and I need to stop being such a teeny bopper but when I've gotten mail with the requested celeb, they seem excited for me. I think my best friend might think it's lame but since I've been so sick lately I think she just joins me to ammuse me.

Hey! ;-)

Oh, all of my friends and familly totally loves it! :lol: My mom and brother cannot wait too see who it's from when there's an envelope addressed to me in the mail - my mom was once so excited that she texted me while I was in class to tell me I got an autograph from Paul Bettany! :mrgreen: All of my friends loves it too, every week they want to know if I got any new autographs.

Thanks,
Lizanne

My family thinks it's a waste of time and postage.
My mom thinks I should spend more time thinking about God than a celebrity.

My family and friends think its pretty cool, I think its mainly because 90% of my autographs I get in person so I always have the pictures and the experience to back them up so they always like to hear about that. I think some of my friends think its a little weird and say its only a scribble but for me its more about the experience and the memories than anything else. When I go to autograph events now I end up stewarding because I love it so much!
