11、y admire (钦佩)? Wouldn't you love to have his or her autograph (手迹)? You would never throw that person's autograph away. Many people feel the same way as you. However, some people collect autographs even from people they don't admire. They just want autographs from any famous person. They

12、 don't collect these autographs to keep them. They collect the autographs to sell them.Collecting autographs has become a business. In fact, there are more than 20,000 people who collect autographs. These people are willing to pay a lot of money for an autograph. Therefore, autograph hounds now

16、and Gwyneth Paltrow rarely sign anything. This makes their autographs more rare and more valuable (珍贵的). Queen Elizabeth almost never signs autographs. Therefore, something with her signature (签名) on it might sell for around $ 3,500. It doesn't matter if the person is dead. Elvis Presley and Nap
