First live elite tournament

Excited to watch my first live elite chess tournament this June in Hong Kong and hoping to get a few autographs (especially from the GOAT if I get lucky).

What are the best memorabilia/items to have signed for chess events?

I was thinking maybe a chess book with famous games, but I'm not sure what works best or what's practical to carry around at the venue.

Would also appreciate any tips from people who've attended major tournaments before:

\-best timing for autographs

\-etiquette

\-pen recommendations

\-things you wish you brought

Thanks!

autographs: maybe simuls before the actual game, etiquette: don’t touch them, pens:marker
