My first astronaut autograph was from the crew of STS-51A sent from the public relations office of KSC. I didn't actually ask for it but said I was interested in space.

I'm actually not sure who my first serious through the mail was but it was some one who was free in 1998, I'm sure it was either Hartsfield or Brand.

My first in person was Dick Gordon at Autographica 2000, then Walt Cunnigham, then Ed Mitchell and last was Al Bean

First paid for was Shepard (about a month before he died along with a Dick Gordon and Pete Conrad) from Galaxy. It was supposed to be an Aldrin but Novaspace had run out of 10x8 and didn't think they were going to get any more but a year later things had changed.
