Yup... I'd get bored pretty quick as an autograph collector if I was limited to only living people I met myself. But, to each his own.
It's unfortunate that people get scared off, because despite all the negative attention, if you are patient, do your homework and network wisely, you can build an autograph collection that is rock solid.
Yes, there is risk in ANY hobby where dollars change hands and all autograph collectors get burned on occasion. That is the price of the hobby. Just like counterfeit coins, doctored cards, and restored/trimmed comics are the prices of those hobbies.
