Qryche11 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Dickie V signed my final four program in Indy a few yrs back. Probably not worth anything but had it in my hand when I ran into him and his association to college hoops is pretty strong. Other than that I have a baseball signed by Paul Householder.

Mack The Knife Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Got Bootsy Collins autograph at Kentucky Speedway about 10 years ago. There weren't but a handful of people around him (he was leaving), so I got to chat for a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Parker Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I paid for a cab with a "Justin Timberlake autograph" one time. I told her no less than 20 times I wasn't JT, she insisted "that's what all the celebrities" say. I finally just gave in, scribbled something on a piece of paper, and gave her a hug. :lol2::lol2::lol2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Howell Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 $75 to Anthony Davis maybe, but I'm not sure about giving that to possible D Leaguers. But more power to them. I'd do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Professor Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I've got the 1978 UK team's autograph on a team picture somewhere in storage in my house. In those days they traveled around the state in the pre-season and scrimmaged. I saw them at the Breathitt Coliseum in Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeuce Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I'm not paying for an autograph. Seems silly to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKMustangFan Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I'm not paying for an autograph. Seems silly to me. No doubt. When I was younger, it may have appealed to me. Now, I'd rather just meet a guy, exchange pleasantries and be on my way. :idunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wireman Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 The one that really bothered me was last year or maybe the year before when Jeff Sheppard took UK players to an elementary school...then charged students for autographs (during a school day). That is just wrong IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigVMan23 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Hey I'm all for capitalism and making a buck with what ever abilities/talents you have...BUT...there just seems something a bit smarmy about college kids traveling around charging for autographs. If they make some money, good for them. It just won't be any of my money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Birdflu Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 They should pay me to take their autographs. Besides, the only autograph I want is on a check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfback20 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I paid to get the Anthony Davis poster everyone went crazy about autographed, as well as a basketball. Haven't ever paid for one before that and probably won't again. I do like autographs. I think it's a neat thing to have in a den/sports/man room.

Pura Vida Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 It can be a lot of fun for kids especially if the players talk and clown around with them a bit. We forked out $20 last year for our youngest to meet some UofL bball players at the Florence Mall. The funny part is after the autograph session the UofL guys walked around the Florence Mall into the Food Court having a good time. Several people stopped and posed for a pic and/or an autograph with them, free o’ charge. Lesson learned! That’s how I’m going about it next time.

Big Slick Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Didn't Malone Long and Lanter have a signing somewhere also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wireman Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Didn't Malone Long and Lanter have a signing somewhere also? Yeah but they actually paid you $20 to let them sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlDog75 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 I would think that would be the last place to sign and charge for autograph memorabilia where the average household income for Wal-Mart shoppers is $41,847. That's 8% below the $45,245 average income for the shopping universe. Maybe they should have gone to Dillard, Macy's or some high-end sports shop. I must clarify my earlier statement. They were NOT on Walmart property but in a strip mall near the road's entrance to get to Walmart. Sorry for the lousy description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
