If someone is willing to pay for it, someone else seems to be willing to sell it, and the offerings on this page range from autographs, magazines and movie scripts to lunch boxes, neck ties, cigarette cards, reproduction jewelry, costumes, props and even "things" once owned by the stars.  I'm no expert in this category, but if you are buying or possibly selling, some of the vendors here should be able to help you.

Classic Celebrity Autograph Dealers:

Autograph collecting is a tricky business because a collector can never really know for sure that an autograph is the real thing unless the celebrity him/herself actually signs in the collector's presence.  And sometimes it's not even a question of honesty among dealers, as many of them don't know themselves if what they are selling is legitimate or not.  (For more information on the hazards of buying celebrity autographs, read John Reid's article on Autograph Collecting - Buyer Beware.)  Still, if you've just got to have someone's signature, try the dealers below:
