The Niners' autographs on a baseball
An autograph was the artistic signature of an individual in his or her own writing. Autographs were often given as mementos to adoring fans.
In 2373, after Odo's appearance at a conference about the Occupation of Bajor had been met with much enthusiasm by the attending Bajorans, Elim Garak sarcastically commented that he had half-expected him to be signing autographs at the end. (DS9: "Things Past")
In 2375, following a baseball game against the Logicians, a team composed of members of the Vulcan crew of the USS T'Kumbra, all of Deep Space 9's Niners autographed the baseball from the game. When Kira Nerys gave the ball to Benjamin Sisko for his desk, Sisko asked Solok if he'd like to sign it, too. The Vulcan declined. (DS9: "Take Me Out to the Holosuite")
In 2381, Ensign Brad Boimler had collected the autographs of the bridge officers of the USS Voyager and wanted Lieutenant Tom Paris to sign his collectible Tom Paris edition Voyager plate while Paris was visiting the USS Cerritos during his handshake tour of various Starfleet posts. (LD: "We'll Always Have Tom Paris")
In 2382, D'Vana Tendi gifted T'Lyn an autographed image of Krog, her favorite musician. Though T'Lyn found this lacking in scientific value, she nevertheless kept it, in case she needed to "study handwriting" in the future. (LD: "The Best Exotic Nanite Hotel")
