Any autograph collectors here? Any rare autos?

[The Assassin]

I don't "collect" wrestling autographs as such, meaning I don't go out of my way to acquire them, but I do have a few, mainly from live events I went to. Personally I don't see the point of owning an autograph unless you met the wrestler and were actually there when they signed it (so for example I wouldn't buy an autograph off ebay, even with COAs etc) but to each his own.

So, any wrestling autograph collectors here at WF?
What autographs do you have?
Or if you prefer, which DON'T you have but wish you did?
Anyone got any rare or less-commonly-seen autographs?

Also a side note, does anyone have pics of Nasty Boys autographs? as I'm curious as to how they spell their last names (as I've seen both Knobs/Knobbs and Sags/Saggs used by promoters)

[tnafan17: The Total Package]

I'm definitely with you bro. Autographs and things just aren't as special to me unless I meet them personally.

[HugoOne]

I wouldn't say I collect, but I've met quite a few wrestlers in my time and gotten my fair share of autographs.

The rarest I probably have is the Undertaker, whom I met last year, or the Rock, whom I met about 11 or 12 years ago. I USED to have Owen Hart and the British Bulldog's, but I lost those throughout the years sadly.

The WWF was at our local high school in 1983, My brother was setting up chairs. He ended up getting autographs from Gorilla Monsoon, Curt Henning, Jimmy Snuka & Ray Stevens. I'll be damned if I knew where that pad went.

I have the first calendar that the WWF ever released in 1984. I've been trying to get each superstar to sign their page. It'll never be completed, though since Andre the Giant & Arnold Skaaland passed away. If I can dig it up, I'll post pictures of it if anyone is interested.

I don't collect them but I have some nice autograph cards. The rarest actual autograph I have is from Miss Elizabeth. I met her during her WCW era. I have a bunch of WWE Heritage 2005 autograph cards and a lot of TNA New Era autograph cards. I have also met Flair, The Million Dollar Man, Lex Luger, Buff, and Jerry Lawler. I have a personalized autograph from Torrie Wilson and Jim Ross and I have Hogan's 8x10 autograph photo from the night he wrestled in TNA last year. I live in a state where we never hardly see wrestlers so I try to get some good ones that I know are real.

I am a collector of autos. From 8X10s to WWE and TNA programs to magazine covers and in ring worn gear (which is a very expensive hobby to collect) and replica belts.

I'm not sure which autos I would say are the rarest from my collection. I have a signed 8x10 of Captain Lou Albano. I have an 11x14 of Kevin Von Erich. My WWE Encyclopedia is signed by Vince McMahon, Linda McMahon, Shane McMahon and Stephanie McMahon. I have an 8X10 signed by Stone Cold Steve Austin and one by Trish Stratus.

I have a WCW US Title (favorite design of a title belt) signed by many of the US champions that held that belt. Its not complete, but its getting there. Obviously the names of people who have passed away are not on it as I just started this belt last year.

I have The Rated R Spinner signed and inscribed by Edge.

I have the WWE IC Title signed and inscribed by John Morrison.

I have an in ring used kickpad of Chris Sabin signed by him with a picture of him giving it to me.

I have the tshirt worn by Edge at Extreme Rules that was given to me and its signed.

I have an in ring used Jeff Hardy armband given to me by Jeff.

I have in ring used cookie sheet used in the Monster's Ball Match from Wilkes-Barre PA TNA house show. It was given to me by Jeff Hardy, signed and dated by Jeff and Abyss.

[Cody Rhodes Fan]

I have a lot of autographs from wrestlers. I collect autographs as a hobby from both wrestlers and other celebs. I get the autos and pictures with them from conventions and signings.

My notable mentions would be: Owen Hart & Shawn Michaels that I got in 1994 when I was 9, Captain Lou Albano, Brock Lesnar, DENNIS STAMP, Dixie Carter, Trish Stratus, and Steve Austin, to name some of them.

I also have an in ring used elbowpad of Cody Rhodes signed and given to me.

How did you snag the Cody elbow pad?

[Barney Stinson]

I'm not much of an autograph collector. I've seen many wrestlers places but didn't bother them.
But back in 2003 when WWE was doing the FYE autograph sessions to raise money for the troops I went to one and got to meet Brock Lesnar so that was pretty cool. Recently I went to a Raw taping and stopped at a rest stop to get food and was on line behind The Miz, Alex Riley and Nexus. I didn't bother them, but it cool nonetheless.

The Raw that Jeremy Piven hosted, my brother was an extra backstage. Cody borrowed his elbowpad for the night, and then since Cody knew I was a fan of his, he signed it and gave it to me.

[~*Young $ Money*~]

i got a jay lethal ring used pair of tights thats about it.

[codebreaker22]

I have only met Chris Jericho, Christian, and Lita. I bought an Edge auto at a super show. But I do personally prefer to meet them and see them sign it though.

[mmondrag96]

[TommyHyland46]

I have quite a few signatures in the thread in my sig. Check it out

[Johnny Lawrence - Cobra Kai]

I don't collect autographs per se, but I've been a big enough wrestling fan for such a long time, that I've managed to get some real nice ones into my possession. My favorites:

-- Lou Thesz (personalized, signed copy of his book "Hooker" in which he thanks me for an enjoyable interview)

-- Nick Bockwinkel (on the back of one of my old business cards)

-- Captain Lou Albano (nostalgia value... first autograph I ever got as a kid, from the first wrestler I ever met in person, back in 1986)

-- Iron Sheik (memorable because I got it in person and he was so busy writing other crap on the 8x10 that he forgot to sign his actual name on it until I reminded him)

Also, I sold this one on eBay years ago, but I once had a Mike Von Erich autograph. Talk about rare.

[@3CountRadio]

I have an autographed "Hulk Rules!" by Hulk Hogan and the Wrestling Boot Band CD. Signed by Hulk Hogan and Jimmy Hart. That's about the rarest thing I got.

[fallbrawl]

I don't really collect Autographs.I only get them if i see the actual wrestler sign it right in front of me.

I only have the following autographs:
Ric Flair
Gene Oakland
Bobby Heenan
Hillbilly Jim
Raven

I am not even sure if the Raven one is real.I bought it at a flea market along with a best of Raven vhs tape that he supposedly signed .
