I'm a writer with a national publication and I'm looking to do a story about collecting autographed pointe shoes, both as a hobby and possibly as an investment. First, I'm curious if many folks actually do this (I became aware of this because so many companies sell such shoes -- typically through their gift shops or fundraising departments). I'm also wondering if any collectors would be willing to speak with me for my story. I can be contacted at Charles.Passy@dowjones.com.
