My name is Donna and I have discovered a new hobby. I love to collect autographs of my favorite sports stars, celebrities, authors, etc. I have only been collecting for a couple of months and I have been very successful, so I would like to share my successes with others and maybe we can start sharing addresses, etc. I mainly collect TTM (Through the Mail) Autographs but will also post those that I get from other venues as well. Thanks for visiting. This is gonna be fun!
