I am a very blunt person. So I cannot perceive what a revered autograph is. Never receiving a good definition beyond it sounding like faith.
So: What is an autograph?
Besides proof that you interacted with someone famous? Do you need something more than that?
I love books. Some of my favorite ones are where I’ve gotten the chance to have the author sign my books, and personalize them to me. His autograph just makes it a little more special because the person I like has actually touched the book, and has spent a few seconds in inscribing his name.
Now, if it was just something like trying to buy a copy of their name signed on a bar napkin, then it wouldn’t be as special.
I don’t understand the question. Are you asking “what is an autograph?” Are you asking “what is a revered autograph?” Are you asking “why would someone revere an autograph?”
What the hell does bluntness have to do with understanding a concept?
I see an autograph as a record of you having interacted with someone important to you… if only briefly. Autographs may have commercial value, or they may just have sentimental value to you.
For example, if you had an autograph of Marilyn Monroe you could probably sell it for a lot of money to a collector, on the other hand if you had my autograph it would be worthless.
Autographs are valuable for the same reason as anything else: people want them, and there is a limited supply. The more famous the person, the more people want them. In addition, people who own an autograph of a favorite celebrity will want to hold on to it.
Once a celebrity dies, the supply remains fixed (or drops, as documents with the signature are discarded). If the popularity remains, the price goes up. Simple supply and demand, really.
I have the same questions.
An autograph is someones signature on an item related to them, picture, book etc.
Not necessarily. It’s someone’s signature (usuall some type of celebrity or notable figure) provided as a memento. It doesn’t have to be on an item related to them. There are autograph books you can buy with blank pages to be signed by the various folks whose autographs you’d like to collect, and people have been known to get autographs on whatever writing surface is handy, be it a napkin or a even T-shirt that the collector is wearing.
Or boobs. Don’t forget the boobs.

The more I think about it, the more the OP seems like it was written by a bot.
Not everyone perfect English has:)
That’s the problem with writing children’s books. Nobody ever asks me to sign boobs.
Next time you do a signing in my area I’ll let you sign my man-boobs.
I’ll be careful never to do a book signing in your area 
Yoda, may I have your autograph? 
I tried to word it that way, specifically to avoid the question getting moved to “IMHO” section; I see that it did not work.
I must thank dolphinboy for that wording of it; it defintely gave me the paradigm shift I was looking for.
