I guess most people on the forum collect mainly from the Sci Fi genre, but does anyone collect autographs generally and does anyone have any particularly unusual autographs in their collection ?

The Autographica show has had a wide and diverse number of guests over the years and as well as more notable astronauts like Buzz Aldrin, I've also had the pleasure of meeting amongst others Cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova, who was the first woman in space and Alexei Leonov the first person to space walk.

A regular visitor at the Autographica show also used to be Milvina Dean , the youngest passenger on the Titanic and last remaining survivor.

A few years back as well there was also Squadron Leader Jimmy James one of the heroes from the real Great Escape story.

I have about 550 autographs from all sorts. The most unusual ones I have are probably Frank Abagnale and Clint Hill. Frank Abagnale was a conman who was the true story behind Spielberg's "Catch Me if You Can" and Clint Hill was in the secret service and when JFK got shot, he was the guy who jumped on to the car as it drove off.

I have only been to a few events but I have have different autographs, one of the most random was Larry Hagman from Dallas. I do like collecting Star Trek but it depends on the guest line up.
