When my brother was at hockey practice, he saw Brian Boitano skating on another rink and went out of his way to get the famous figure skater’s autograph for me. Not only was I in awe of the autograph (I was an avid figure skater in the 90s), but I couldn’t believe my 10 year old brother would have gone to so much trouble for his pesky little sister. I’m still touched by his gesture!
Jennifer says

My brother and I are huge hockey fans and when I lived in Denver, he would often drive to visit me and catch an Avalanche game. The night before we were scheduled to go to an Avs game against the Flames, we saw the Flames’ coach and hockey legend Daryl Sutter at ESPN Zone. My brother was too shy to approach him and his entire coaching staff, so I volunteered (AKA was coaxed into it). I realized one of the coaches also played hockey in our hometown on the same team my brother once did, so I called him over to introduce them. They ended up talking for an hour and my brother walked away with Sutter’s autograph as well as 2 front-row tickets for the game. We already had tickets, but they were last row, nose bleed seats, so that was pretty amazing. Not only do we now share this memory, but we had such a great time at the game and even caught a game puck, thrown to us by my idol, Darren McCarty!
Jen says
MOORE ME!
My favorite autograph was from Raven Symone of Hanging with Mr. Cooper…now of That’s So Raven! :)
Nancy says
Moore me!
I didn’t technically get this autograph myself but it was for me. Way back about 11.5 years ago, my crazy boyfriend flew up to NYC by the seat of his pants because his beloved U2 was the musical guest on SNL. His sister-in-laws cousin was an intern at SNL and was able to get him in to the dress rehearsal and he got to meet the band. Before he left on his crazy, last minute, everything magically fell into place for him, trip, I grumbled, “I think you like U2 more than you do me.” He assured me that wasn’t the case, but this was his chance to get to see them and SNL. Whatever. Flash forward a couple weeks to Christmas of that year, there was one gift left for me to unwrap and it was clearly a cd. I opened it and it was, of course, U2. But I noticed that on the side I could see LMjr scribbled on it. And I sat there shocked and kept asking why he was giving this to me. He kept saying open it up. I opened it up and it had the other band members’ signatures inside on the disk. But on the jacket was written, “Nancy, Nate likes you better than us! Bono.” So, if Bono says it, it must be true, huh? Eleven and a half years and 3 kids later, I guess Bono knew what he was talking about.

“MOORE ME”
When I was a senior in high school (1993) I sat next to John Waters on a train from New York to Baltimore. After an hour, I finally asked him for his autograph.
Erika says
Moore Me! I got a signature from a radio personality once– for my mom. I told him that, and he quipped that it’s no fun being approached by a young woman only to find out she’s doing it for her mother, ha.
Lisa says
MOORE ME!
The only autograph I have is from Story Musgrave, the astronaut who fixed the Hubble Telescope. Yup. I’m a science dork!
Caitlin says
Moore Me!
Umm…I had a copy of The Cay signed by the author when I was younger. My Grandma got him to sign it to me for my birthday. I thought that was pretty neat.
That’s all I can think of.

I was never much of an autograph collector, but I did get Ann M Murray’s back when I was young and read all the Babysitter’s Club books! And remember that song Three Little Pigs by Green Jelly? Oh yeah… I had them sign a T-shirt at an event for them at a Sam Goody’s when I was like, 11. Oh MY! I can’t decide if that’s embarrassing or hilarious!
