Great Moments in Collecting: 'President Karzai, Can I Have Your Autograph?

Very interesting article. It's gotta be tough to collect, because not only do you have to be in the right place at the right time, you have to know what a lot of world leaders look like. Sure, fairly easy for the ones in the news every day, but some of those guys are pretty obscure to the average person.

True, but you can be important but not the leader of your country. If you just go by bodyguards, you could end up with a bunch of Sec of State and VP autographs.

One day when I am in the mood to have some fun, I am going to hire 5-8 guys, dress them up in suits, and have them walk in front of and behind me
