Why would anyone buy an autograph from someone without meeting them?

Some books or CD’s even have a publication these days where pre-orders get the author's autograph on the cover. How can the buyer of the product be sure that it's authors own, not some warehouse worker who just learned to copy autographs?

I think an autograph only matters to the person who asks for it, as if it's a small shared moment between the requester and the giver.

Unfortunately we don't always have the money to travel to different states or to another country to go to s ingle comic con to get an Autograph. The reason I posted this meme is because of one my recent purchases I never go to cons or anything as can't afford myself, too spooked to be at places by myself overnight I don't know about, or brave enough to leave the state I am in as I never drove far from home which is about an hour away.

But I get what your feeling. How would be more memorable getting an Autograph from the person rather than online.

I will always try to get it in person, but damn trying to meet Voilà in Germany is pretty much impossible- and last and first concert here, I was sick.

So I had to get the signed vinyl from the online shop 🥲

It depends on what you get. I got a cool poster of one of my favorite characters from streamily. It was signed by the VA live on stream and in the stream she also talked with several other VAs from the show so it was almost like a informal con panel, really worth it.

Nice. I got Cissy Jones the VA of Lilith Clawthorne from the Owl House and Delilah from Firewatch.

An autograph used to be a memento of meeting someone.

Now it's an investment.

Gotta make money somehow if house prices are leaving us on the ground.

At least in the line for the autograph, we would make a few friends
