Jon & Kate Plus 8 - $20 for an Autograph, Yikes
The Adventures of Jon and Kate and their eight kids does not entertain me. I can see how others might like the show, but $150 to talk to her. $20 for an autograph? Guess this is what the Octa-Mom had in mind?
"In the May 25 issue, on sale now, Kevin and Jodi reveal how the TV mom of twins and sextuplets spends months away from home promoting her two books (one more, a cookbook, is due in October) and loading up on speaking engagements, for which she commands $3,000 an hour. She also charges fans $150 per person for special meet-and-greet tea parties and even makes fans pay $20 for autographs!
Note to Kate: The biggest stars in the world - including Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie - don’t charge for autographs.."

How Big a Celebrity is Obama? Even World Leaders Want His Autograph
Obama is a star. Certainly the most popular celebrity in the world at the moment. When Obama met with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh this afternoon Singh asked Obama for an autograph. His daughter is a big fan of Obama.
Autograph collectors have been aware for awhile that Obama's autograph is the most desired of any living person. Things can change in a hurry though. After George W. Bush's speech just after the 9-11 attacks, his autograph attained a valuable unmatched by any previous sitting president.
A January 2009 Autograph Collector "Commemorative Inauguration Edition" article valued an autographed 8 x 10 of Obama at $800 - $1500. One signed as president was valued at "up to $3,000."
A value of "up to $9,500" was estimated for signed true first editions of The Audacity of Hope. Latter editions were valued at the time at "up to $1,000."
Time will tell if those values hold. He is certainly facing challenges that will test his popularity, especially in the U.S. where he will be judged by the state of the economy after the "honeymoon" is over.

Booker T. Washington Signed Card
Booker T. Washington was born into slavery on April 5, 1856 in Franklin County, Virginia. His mother was a plantation cook and his father was an unknown white man. In those times, some white fathers of black children sometimes provided an education and some type of vocational training for their black children. Some even freed their children. Little is known about Washington's father except that he did not provide anything more than any slave could expect, and it is believed that he never publicly acknowledged his child.
