   > 1) What was the first autograph that attracted you to the hobby?   
      
   Washington Redskins star Ken Houston, 1973. He is now a HOF'er and college   
   coach. I met him at a old WT Grant store in Roanoke Va, then back in the   
   90's at the Richmond Tuff Stuff Show. I showed him the first autograph i got   
   from him, and he thought that was pretty cool!   
      
   > 2) How many items are in your collection?   
      
   about 1500 autographs. mostly sport cards and wrestling mags.   
      
   > 3) What would you say is your prized autographed item(s)?   
      
   A 1992 Winston All Star poster, signed by every living driver except Alan   
   Kulwicki. Contains Earnhardt and Allison., the others include a 1:24 scale   
   General Lee signed by the Dukes cast (IP), and my 8x10 photo op with Dale   
   Earnhardt, Sr+his autograph at that time the photo was taken.   
      
   > 4) Who is someone living, that has so far eluded you, that would like to   
   > add to your collection?   
      
   Bill and Hillary Clinton (yes, I'll ignore Monica) and Paul McCartney   
      
   > 5) Among celebrities or people of fame that have passed, who do you regret
