autographing

Penning one's name

Autographing is the act of signing one's name, typically for admirers or collectors.

Athletes and celebrities spend time autographing memorabilia: She was autographing baseballs after the game.

An autographing session or signing event brings fans and their collectibles together with someone famous enough that their signature has value.
