autograph hunter

Celebrity pen-wielder

An autograph hunter is someone who actively seeks signatures from famous people, collecting them as souvenirs or for resale.

The term often carries a slightly negative connotation, suggesting aggressive pursuit rather than casual appreciation: Autograph hunters mobbed the actress outside the theater.

The hobby itself is autograph hunting.
