While this site is not necessarily intended to be a site with which to sell items from my collection, I am open to hearing what you are interested in. Because I'm a collector rather than a re-seller, I will lean on the side of keeping a particular item rather than selling, but this goes more for autographs than it does with jerseys since autographs are harder to get and are one-of-a-kind. Jerseys that I most likely wouldn't part with would be the jerseys for local teams (New England area). But I'm sure there is a threshold where if you offered me enough, I would part with it, but probably not within your price range... ;-)

I started out in the late 1990s with sending out autograph requests through the mail. The first autograph of importance that I received in the mail was either James Earl Jones or Peyton Manning. Besides a trip to Boston Bruins Training Camp in 2000, essentially all of my autographs until 2004 came in through the mail with varying degrees of success. In 2004, I began going to political events here in New Hampshire (First in the Nation Primary). This turned out not only to be a good way to get autographs of politicians in person, but sometimes even to get celebrities' autographs as they would endorse candidates and come to New Hampshire. Soon after that, I realized I could get autographs of sports figures as they went into or left their respective stadiums (Fenway Park or the TD Garden). It became very hard to get Red Sox autographs before the game because of increased security so I stopped trying to get autographs from them. In the past 4 years, almost all of my autographs have been aquired through going to political events or waiting before or after Bruins games (or, more recently, waiting before or after Bruins practice).

This is a hard question, and the best I can do is narrow it down to a handfull.

In terms of an autograph that I got where I was unbelieveably happy, I would have to say my Ringo Starr autograph would fit that description. It's on an original album cover of Yellow Submarine (his most famous song with The Beatles).

My favorite sports autograph is Bobby Orr which was a surprise from my friend and an autograph I never thought I would be able to get.

In terms of historical significance, there is a tie between my Bill Clinton and Barack Obama autographs, although I like my Obama one a little better just because I got it before he was officially running for President.

My favorite weird or random autograph is a tie between John Basedow (the "Fitness Made Simple" guy), Billy Mays (although he became essentially a legitimate celebrity before he died), and Jason David Frank (Tommy from Power Rangers). Those are the ones people look at, laugh, and say "Are you serious?!?".

My favorite autograph just based on how much I love it is my Fred "Mister" Rogers autograph because I am 99% sure it's authentic (I got it in the mail, not in person) and he sent a signed personal letter with it answering questions I had in my letter I sent him. He even sent a special birthday autograph for my dad saying Happy Birthday and on the back he wrote "The Kindness of Matthew". It made me feel good. 

I'm not a fashion guy, but I love the look of old jerseys whether it brings back memories, it looks really cool, or it looks horrible. I bet it also has something to do with the fact I sucked at sports and didn't get the satisfaction of putting on a jersey that was anything more than a screen-printed t-shrit... haha.

In terms of a sports star, both Tim Thomas and Mark Recchi have been incredibly nice when it comes to signing autographs. Neither of them are talkers, but they seem to sign for everyone which is nice to see. I remember one time after a Bruins game, Recchi got out of his car and signed autographs for everyone waiting and even took pictures with those who wanted one.

The nicest political figure was actually Mike Huckabee. That's funny for me to say since him and I are about as far apart on the issues as can be, but he was legitimately a really nice guy and if I didn't know his stance on the issues, I would have voted on him just based on how nice he was. It was crazy.

The nicest musician or celebrity was Brad Delp. He was an amazingly nice guy who loved to hear people tell them they loved his work with both Boston and Beatlejuice. In retrospect, I feel like his love of being praised came from possible self conscious issues that led to his suicide a year later. When he committed suicide, he was extremely considerate and careful to not hurt anyone else by leaving a note on the door warning people of the carbon monoxide as well as putting his dogs into a room that was blocked off from the carbon monoxide and had a window open for fresh air. Amazing guy.
