To receive the celebrity autograph you want, start with a letter writing campaign. Select your favorite celebrities and individuals that are already popular. You can do a google search on the internet for the celebrities' name and normally in the top listings you'll see fan clubs and where to send correspondence. Some of the more popular celebrities include Hilary Duff, Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Jessica Simpson, Orlando Bloom and your favorite bands, but there is lots to pick from.
When mailing a letter make it no more than one page. Everyone is grateful to have people acknowledge their work, but popular celebrities just don't have time to read several pages from each fan. When you write, bring up what it was about their work or the character that you really liked. Be exact. You could mention their album name or movie title. This shows that you are a "true" fan.
When drafting your letter, write in words that are kind and respectful. Movie stars are truly impressed with repectful treatment from their fans and they are more likely to mail you back an autograph. You may receive a signed photograph. These are great for framing. Or you might receive a signed document or handwritten letter. A handwritten, signed letter is usually of the most value to autograph collectors, since the document may reveal something personally interesting or historical about the celebrity, in addition to the autograph.
Additional factors in determining the value of a celebrity autograph worth noting include mentioning that an ink signature is worth more than a pencil signature (as pencil can fade over time). A signed letter, handwritten letter or signed photo are worth more than a simple signature on an album cover, airline ticket, book or piece of paper. In addition, if a certain celebrities' autograph is in high demand and it happens to be a scarce autograph, then it can also have good value.
We wish you continued success and fun in collecting those autographs that you are searching for.
