------------------ ARTICLE START ------------------

Anyone can begin to start a collection of celebrity collectibles. These can be items relating to your favorite star or a favorite film. Sets of action figures can often turn into a lot of money if you have a complete set. A number of posters can turn quite valuable if they are a complete collection of what was originally made. Photographs of the stars and framed stills from the project could add not only ambiance to a room but help to complete a collection of memorabilia. These items are not always enough to turn the collection into something valuable, however.

Having an autograph from a celebrity related to the product will greatly increase the worth of the item. The autograph will give the item a sense of value as it is something which not only has been touched by the celebrity, making it authentic, but it has proven itself to be something worth the celebrity's time. By signing the item, the celebrity has given it a stamp of approval, verifying it to be a valid addition to anyone's collection. Autographs can do this to nearly any type of item one might wish to include with their collection.

The most common type of celebrity collectibles are autographed photos. These photos are often great shots of the celebrity which someone has taken the time to get the celebrity to autograph. These photos are commonly from certain films which the celebrity may have been in to the celebrity looking glamorous on the red carpet. If the celebrity is a sports star, often the photo will be of them during a great play during the game. Either way, these photos show the actor at their best and will look good as a part of anyone's celebrity collectibles.

Autographs can also adorn items which the celebrity may have used. Sporting equipment is one of the best examples of this, as items such as baseballs, basketballs, helmets, and jerseys can easily be signed. People can easily give these items to a sports star to quickly sign and because of this, these items are rather easily attained. These are not the only types of items which a celebrity may have used which they will later sign, however. Scripts can be easily signed and they can give the item a great deal of worth. Those commemorate the actor's participation in the project and the autograph can make a collection much more valuable.

An autograph can even turn something into a collectible piece when it might not have been so before. Sometimes when a person meets a celebrity, they have nothing related to the celebrity to have them sign and they will resort to something else. A celebrity could sign someone's regular shirt, turning it into a valuable item. A program from a play might not be worth anything, until the star of the show puts an autograph on it. Ticket stubs could be worthless until the lead guitarist of the band quickly signs them when someone has nothing else to hand them. Anything has the potential to become a celebrity collectible, for a person only has to be quick on their feet to get a signature.
