I have a decent collection.

My favourites are a couple of cricket autographs I got as a kid.

Don Bradman and Harold Larwood. I wrote to both as a teen and they both replied.

Also wrote to Bill Ponsford but he was incapable of signing at the time but got a lovely letter from his family.

I also have a signature of a player named Hunter (Stork) Hendry, who debuted for Australia in 1921.
 
Back in the oldern days, when I was a kid, I would write (yes, send a letter) to the Manly club & ask for info about the team etc. They would send me stckers, player profiles etc, including the below.

Bit of trivia, first pic is 1980 squad wearing 1979 kit. A great side that didn't fulfil it's potential in '80 - '81 (as well as missing the finals in '79). The club did however make finals every year from '81 to '88 including two minor premierships ('83, '87) and one premiership ('87).
