Free-of-charge autographs

It should be noted that many celebrities, like boxers Lennox Lewis, Muhammad Ali, Wilfredo Gomez, Wilfredo Benitez, Hector 'Macho' Camacho, Sugar Ray Leonard and Julio Cesar Chavez, baseball legend Cal Ripken Jr., singers J.C. Chasez, Alanis Morissette, Amber Rose, Jessica Simpson, Frankie Valli, and the members of Green Day, actors like Drew Carey, Robert De Niro, Johnny Depp and Al Pacino, director Steven Spielberg, former President Bill Clinton and many others, still love signing autographs for free for the fans, keeping it a very interesting hobby to this day. Hilary Duff has gone as far as publicly lashing out at some of her fellow teen idol stars who avoid autograph collectors. Art Carney was another person who enjoyed signing autographs, until his passing in November of 2003. It is people like these who make the hobby of autograph collecting worth-while.

Many people however, are not willing to distribute their signature- at least not for free. Entertainers like this include Cameron Diaz, Bruce Willis, Tobey Maguire, and Britney Spears. Sports personalities include most baseball players, such as the majority of the New York Yankees, the late Joe Dimaggio, and most notoriously, Barry Bonds. Other sports stars that try to avoid signing whenever possible are Bill Russell, who does not sign at all, and most NBA stars with huge contracts. The legendary Michael Jordan, would not and could not sign for most of his career because people were putting each other's safety at risk by scrambling to get the icon's autograph that is worth at least hundreds of dollars. Jordan however, has frequently signed at the more peaceful environments, such as golf tournaments. It is also a scramble to get Michael Jackson's autograph. A typical scenario is hundreds of fans in a crush waiting by Jackson's hotel, and Jackson signing five or ten autographs in the midst of rushing to his vehicle.
