An autograph is a document written entirely in the handwriting of its
author and sports autographs collecting today has gone well beyond
just the hobby and it is a full fledged industry on it’s own
accord. Collectors today are not only sports buffs; they are also
interested in the investment aspect of their collections.
Some of the most popular categories of autograph subjects are Baseball,
Basketball, Football, Golf, Nascar, Hockey ,Tennis, Soccer sports and
Sports memorabilia. featuring players from the four National
League franchises located in the U.S.
Realizing the potential profit in the sale of autographs, many dealers would wait for hours for a celebrity to emerge from a location,
present several photos for the celebrity to sign and then sell most of
them. When signed by a whole team can often be sold for hundreds or
thousands of dollars. Many people are not willing to distribute
their signature—at least not for free. Sports personalities in this
category include most baseball players, including the majority of the
New York Yankees. Sports celebrities get so many requests for
autographs that they sometimes mass produces their signatures using
other signers or machines such as :
