Collecting all sorts of sports cards is a great hobby, but when you get them signed that makes their value rise. Celebrity autographs seem to amaze all kinds of people as if they were signed by a greater power.
Average people sign their name everyday, which equals millions of times in their life. A signature from the average person is completely worthless, however if a celebrity signed his or her name of anything it immediately has a value.
Prices on items always vary when a celebrity has signed them. It all depends what kind or item it and of course who signed it? Not all signatures from celebrities have the same value as others.
For example, in the 90's, an autographed picture of New Kids on the Block would have been worth thousands. Now, even though they've made a come back, it might only be worth a few bucks to the dedicated fan that never gave up hope.
