Ryan Farlie seems like a normal college kid when you first encounter him, and in many ways he's precisely that. With that in mind though, what sets him apart is the fact that he owns and operates Signaturist-Ink, one of the premier autograph retailers in the country. Currently in his collection is a Victor Hugo manuscript of Les Miserables, Steve Jobs' coveted graph, and countless presidents. Are you a fan of the late Queen Elizabeth? He's got an autograph for you.
