I used to have topps football cards autographed by Doug Buffone of the Bears, Wayne Walker of the Lions, and Chester Marcol of the Packers. Circa 1970-72. Aquired them in person when I was 11-13 years old.
I found a vinyl album at a flea market with the cover signed by John Denver. It was made out to a roadie, thanking him "for all the help last summer". Kinda wish I'd hung on to that.
My most prized (and only) autographs I have now are a couple of real nice framed promotional photos of Morgan Shepherd. One with the Quaker State Buick (1987) and one with the Valvoline Pontiac (1988). I didn't know it at the time I got them that he is borderline illiterate, and rarely ever signs his last name.
