From CycleBack:
M. Watt Espy Jr. Along with being an advanced autograph collector, the Alabaman Espy was an internationally renown scholar. He was widely regarded as the world's foremost historian on the death penalty in the United States.  Primarily though the mail, Espy collected autographs in many areas including sports, politics, movies and television, artists and scientists.

From Net54Baseball:
Watt Espy and Roy Pitts, both of Alabama, had the hobby of collecting autographs through the mail in the 1940s-80s. They obtained autographs in all areas, from sports to entertainment to politics to science. They wrote to people ranging from Mickey Mantle and JFK to the Idaho Secretary of State. Originally, Espy wrote asking for autographed photos. However, his autograph collection grew so physically large that he wrote a second time to many of the people asking that they autograph an index card, so he could remove the photos from his house. Pitts, who just recently died, collected through the mail over 250,000 autographs.
