Autographs of Sports Figures
I only collect autographs which I personally have obtained at a live signing or have aquired through mail in offers by reputable companies. This way I avoid forgery scams which are rampant in the industry. Many sports stars signatures (at shows and the like) go for up to $150 per signature. I think it's ridiculous to pay someone so much money simply to sign their own name, so as a rule of thumb, I will not pay more than $5 ... though I've only paid for one signature in all the years I've been collecting - all the rest were free...
Some of the signatures I have and where I got 'em:
SF 49ers:
* Jerry Rice (Fry's grand opening Campbell, CA)
* Ronnie Lott (Classic Car Wash, San Jose, CA)
* Keena Turner (Nob Hill Foods grand opening, SJ)
* Dana Stubblefield (Buzzy's BBQ grand opening, SJ)
* Elvis Grbac (grand opening of some now defunct sports card shop, SJ - his is the one I paid for...why?!)
NY Mets:
* Bobby Jones (Candlestick Park [aka 3Com Park] San Francisco, CA)
* Doug Henry
* Blas Minor
Misc Baseball (mail in offers):
* Don Drysdale (Nabisco)
* Ernie Banks (Nabisco)
* Catfish Hunter (Jimmy Dean)
San Jose Sharks:
* Jeff Odgers (Nob Hill Foods, Mountain View, CA)
* Jason More

I attempted to go gambling there but was turned away because they did not approve of my "casual dress" {like their brochure stated} - I was wearing jeans - I suppose Canada and The US disagree on what constitutes casual...
Though Gambling can be a lot of fun, it can also be quite addicting too - costing people more than just money. If you feel out of control when you gamble, call
Gamblers Anonymous @ 1-800-426-1234 (hey, those look like good lotto numbers...)
But seriously, call them if you think you might have a gambling problem ; they're there to help you.
