Money can buy a lot of things. The commercial for Mastercard is very suggestive. It's something like this: "pair of boots - xx $$, trip to The Caribeans - XXX $$, time spent with your child - priceless".It's the same with the autographs. For me they are not just a signature on a program, a CD booklet, a picture or anything else. They are those 2 minutes spent in front of the person I admire most. They are the words uttered with difficulty, not that you don't speak the language but the emotion is that big that words don't come out. It's the only thing that reminds you that everything was real, that you saw that person right in front of your eyes after months or years of waiting.
.
So what's the point of owning an autograph if there's no emotion behind it?
.
The reason of writing this is that I found a website. This company is selling and buying autographs. Roger Gross Ltd, based in New York. There are hundreds of autographs of singers, composers, instrumentalists, conductors at different prices. Most of them range between 50$ and 150$. But there are also some very expensive ones. You can see the complete list HERE.

.And some photos Angela. Maybe there are more. I don't know. See for yourselves.
.Again, I don't agree with this kind of trade. But it's just me. If this company exists, it means there are people buying.
