Autograph Collection

I’m a big sports fan and ever since I was a kid, I did the best I could to collect memorabilia and autographs from professional athletes.  I have one “rule” on collecting autographs that I have always followed and that is that I have never paid for an athlete’s autograph.  From time to time, I may refer to an instance where I got an athlete’s autograph, but I will certainly take requests if anyone is interested in how I got a particular autograph.

So I know this isn’t really the type of forum for me to “brag” and I’m not (trust me!), but in case anyone was wondering, here’s a list of the professional athletes I have autographs from.
