what should the winchesters sign?

My friend and I are going to THIS. It is going to be a fregging awesome time and I cannot wait! The question I am currently facing is what should I have everyone sign when I get their autographs? It needs to be frameable and interesting and cool.

We got the gold passes (awwwww yeah!) so we will be getting everyone's autographs. Obviously the autographs I'm most excited for are Jared, Jensen, and Misha but I'm pumped for all the others too. I'm currently trying to figure out the best way to do it, though. I'd like something that would look good after the convention, that I could frame and have up on the wall and that would last. I don't just want a blank piece of paper, though. That is intensely boring. I'm not talented enough to create an epic piece of fanart to have them all sign (I recently saw where someone had Brent Spinner sign a drawing of Data fighting the alien from the Alien movie... amazing...) so I need help coming up with something fun.

One idea I had was to bring in a poster of a competing fandom (like Twilight or something) and have them all sign that, just because I think that would be hilarious.

Any suggestions would be awesome! Thanks!

Yeah...I wouldn't do the Twilight (or anything like it) idea. They might not get it and may think you're a moron.

Find some photos on line from their earlier years and have a t-shirt made for them to sign. 15 minutes worth of work = lifetime of memories.

How about this, in honor of the Metallicar?

There is the chance they won't let you get creative about this. Sometimes, with fan-signing events, they confine the "objects to be signed" to a specific list and don't let fans ask them to sign other things (i.e., telling fans who came to a "Fright Night" fan event that "we know Anton Yelchin and David Tennant are in the cast, but they will ONLY sign Fright Night stuff, so please don't ask them to sign Star Trek or Doctor Who stuff, and PLEASE don't ask them to autograph your boob or your kid's diaper or your high school yearbook or anything like that either").

Whatever you do, I'd have a backup thing just in case -- make the fun poster, but have a more conventional Supernatural poster on hand in case they get strict about that.

I'm not familiar with Supernatural, so this might be terribly inappropriate. I've always thought it would be hilarious to go up to a celebrity and say, "WILL YOU SIGN MY TITS?!?!" Except instead of presenting my boobs to them, I would produce a tasteful (?) photograph of my cleavage in a low-cut top.
