Collecting the autographs of famous people. Popular subject categories include politicians, military figures, athletes, film stars, artists, religious leaders, scientists, astronauts and authors, and some collectors specialize further, in Nobel Prize winners or the signers of a specific historic document among other narrow fields. The hobby is reported to be in decline in some quarters as fans increasingly prefer a selfie with a celebrity to a signature.
