Many people feel the sameway as you. However, some people collect autographs even from people they don'tadmire. They just want autographs from any famous person. They don't collectthese autographs to keep them. They collect the autographs to sell them. Collectingautographs has become a business. In fact, there are more than 20,000 peoplewho collect autographs. These people are willing to pay a lot of money for anautograph. Therefore, autograph hounds now hang around (在……闲逛)sports centers, concerts arenas, and modern restaurants. These people try toget autographs they can sell. They can sometimes make as much as $1,500 for oneautograph. In fact, one very successful autograph hound earns (赚钱)about $ 100,000 a year.There are also companies that buy and sell autographs. One company, Profiles inHistory, says it has the largest collection of actors' or actresses' autographsin the world. The company earns more than $12 million a year! One autograph maycost under $100. Other autographs can cost several thousand of dollars. Theprice of an autograph doesn't depend on how famous the person is. It depends onhow rare (稀少) theautograph is. For example, famous people like Angelina Jolie and Matt Damonsign a lot of autographs. Therefore, their autographs are not rare and are notworth (值) very muchmoney. On the other hand, Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow rarely sign anything.This makes their autographs more rare and more valuable (珍贵的).Queen Elizabeth Ⅱalmost never signs autographs. Therefore, something with her signature (签名)on it might sell for around $ 3,500. It doesn't matter if the person is dead.Elvis Presley and Napoleon signed many things. Their signatures are only worth$1,500. However, signed letters from Marilyn Monroe are very rare. They cancost $50,000 each. The highest price ever paid for an autograph was $75,000.This was for a letter written by Abraham Lincoln. 1. Thereare over ________ people who collect autographs throughout the world. A.100,000 B. 50,000 C.20,000 D. 750,000 2. Profilesin History is ________. A.a local autographmuseum B. a very modern restaurant C.a business that sellsautographs D.the most expensive autograph 3.
