Steven Raab is founder of the Raab Collection, a Philadelphia-based firm buying and selling historical letters and manuscripts.

I entered the autograph field in 1985, a complete novice. The lay of the land was much different than it is today.
In 1985 my wife bought me a check signed by Orville Wright. I had no idea there was a market for autographs like that, and I was excited and began to look into it.
