[QUOTE="sschind, post: 928710, member: 10247"] I remember years ago Favre came to Eau Claire to sign autographs at a local mall. He was supposed to sign for 2 hours starting at 10 or 11and people began lining up at 6 when the mall opened. He stayed an extra 30 minutes or so but many people did not get an autograph. I don't know if he charged for them (the mall might have paid the fee) but still its a huge waste of time as far as i am concerned. I might wait an hour for to get an auto for a gift if it were the right person but for myself wouldn't cross a busy street to get anybody's autograph, They just don't interest me and I certainly can't imagine paying for one especially if I didn't get in person. I was at a Brewers game and they have the practice, before a game, of having a player go to a specified area of the stadium and sign stuff for the fans. I saw two kids standing by the fence and they would hand the player a ball, he'd sign it and hand it back, they would pass the ball back through the crowd and get another one from an adult standing further back those two kids must have gotten a dozen items signed between them. I'm not sure who the player was but he hardly even looked up from his pen long enough to see who was handing the stuff to him. He was just doing his time. There are ways of getting autographs authenticated. I don't know how much it costs and even then the value is probably less than something that is certified. Here's the thing. I've always felt that if a person was going to fake an autograph they probably wouldn't have any problem faking a COA. Personalized autos are also said to be worth less. Bob doesn't want a ball signed "to Ben, my number 1 fan. Keep the faith" I've also read that for freebies some athletes will always personalize their autographs and I don't blame them. [/QUOTE]
