But like much of our news, the negative stories are the ones that make the front page and get the most attention. There is so much good happening in our world—and in our hobby—which doesn’t get the spotlight. The autograph community continues to be strong and the 2014 Autograph University Yearbook features a collection of stories that focus on the things we love about the hobby—the thrill of the chase, and sharing our passion with family and friends.
