Anyone else at the North Phoenix Baptist Church Card show? Fleming, Larry Wilson, and CC were all there. I got CC's autograph on my football.

Cool. I got an Anquan Boldin signed football back at the Big Red Rage when he hosted it. Back in 2004 or 2005?

I got a football autographed by about 20 Arizona Cardinal players in Greeley Colorado in 1993. Can't read any of the signatures on the ball except for Joe Bugel.

Also got a football autographed at the Cards Charity Golf tournament in 2005. Can't read any of those signatures either except for Larry Wilson.

At training camp before our Super Bowl appearance, I took 2 footballs to camp (one for each set of grandkids) and got signatures from Warner, Leinart, Edge, Fitz, Boldin, Wilson and a few others. I hope they keep them forever.

Well you know the response to this. Every time I bought a jersey the guy would leave the next off season. The only autographed one was a Frank Sanders that Sanders signed at TC back in '97. For some reason he escaped the DJJ and had a 1000 yard season.

I'll probably get bashed for this and that's OK.

Am I the only one that thinks adults wanting autographs from pro athletes is kind of weird?

For a kid, it is an amazing experience to have something signed by someone you watch at games.

But once you are over the age of 18, what's the point? Unless you are into sports memorobilia or whatnot.

:stupid:
I agree with you, especially with the proliferation of autographs by modern athletes making them worth little.

:p I wonder... does the Chandler signature cheapen the value of the hat? :p

Bite your tongue. Chris Chandler was a Super Bowl QB and won the American Century Championship Golf tournament in 2007.

It makes it worth more.

:p

I'm 31, so I was like 14 or 15 when I got that jersey signed.

I'm with you on the autograph thing, it's not really appealing to me now.

got Fitz, Wash, Toler and R-Williams autos on a replica helmet at the last camp. All way cool dudes too. I hope to add to it this year. A-Dub was in a bad mood, it was like 2 days after he tore his bicep. Dockett stopped and chatted a minute until Horton stole him away after I finally talked him into getting off his segway and walking over, ironically after Horton sat and chatted for 5 minutes with us. Can't speak for every player, but every one I talked to was cool as hell, except A-Dub, but I can understand not being very social when you were just told you'll probably miss the whole season, can't really blame the guy

+1.

But I can see why it appeals to others. To each his own.

I will admit it is exciting to meet the players tho, always nice to talk to them and say hello and thanks.

When I was a youngin' I went to the Cards fan fest the first year E.Smith was brought in.

There was a signing session for kids and there was a line a mile long to get smiths autograph. That left me free to get every other players. lol

OMG

I just found a Cardinals football from 2005 with Rod Graves autograph on it! It must be worth a fortune in Canadian Dollars.

Also has Larry Wilson, Neil Rackers, Jeremy Bridges, Eric Green, David Macklin, Nick Leckey, and two guys who signed a uniform # on the ball that the Cards didn't have that year.
