Autographs are stupid in general. It is a hassle for the one giving the autograph and (to me) it makes the autograph seeker realize how small they are and NEEDY to believe that the famous persons signature will make their life better. Being around a famous person for a small second is NOT going to make the not famous receiver of the autograph anything more than they already are. The whole autograph practice is wrong for many reasons in my opinion.
