Getting Players Autographs.

[frezeal33]

How exactly do you get players to sign your things? Where do you go? What do you have to do?

Wait outside their house and shine flashlights in their windows after midnight. Easy squeezy.

Thanks for the advice, ill definitely go do that

The easiest way is to look for signing events. These can be costly but you are guaranteed a signature that includes a certificate of authenticity.

Under sport click on football
Then click on Maryland.
That should take you to a list.

"That Sports Place" at Harford Mall and I think its called "Jarretsville Sports" or "Jarretsville Collectables" they do a lot of orgonised signings.

Some people get theirs at the games but that is all luck and chance and does not come with a COA, but its free and that is tough to beat.

In all honesty, just chill outside the players entrance for a couple hours before the game. I got quite a few players to sign a ball both before and after the Thanksgiving game. Like K said though, it's all about luck. I got REAL lucky. Take a good looking woman with you too, my wife helped me score the only Ed Reed signature of the night, lol. People were in utter shock that he stopped and signed. The guy next to me said he hasn't stopped pre-game in years.

Well, I'd love to get Ray's autograph before he retires.. I don't know how long it will be before I get to go to a game (I live in NC).

That's pretty nice man, that is VERY lucky. I'll make sure to bring one haha.

You need to take a road trip soon, that ain't THAT far. Ray, Ed, Haloti, and Suggs apparently only sign after. I got Rays, Haloti came out the other door, Ed walked straight out as did Suggs. I also got Pittas after. He was really cool and still high off his first, and game winning touchdown. I kept telling him "nice 6" over and over, lol. I didn't know what to say to any if these guys. You think you'll know what to say but when Ray is six inches from you and signing something conventional thought goes out the window.

I do. I've been wanting to. I have family up in Maryland (I have no idea how far they are from B-More.) Well still, it's good you got a couple players autographs I was thinking of what I would say earlier.. and I would be so nervous haha.

Well I got 14 before the game, I'm just clueing you into the fact if you want any of the big big names, you need to run to your car, grab whatever you want signed, and hall [profanity deleted] back to the players entrance.

Well, when you do, hit me up. I'll draw a little schematic and show you THE SPOT to stand. They HAD to walk right past me.

Okay, cool. I surely will, thanks man. I just REALLY want to at least get Ray's before he retires. It will be hard to get once his career is over.

If it's that important to you, I'd recommend going to an official signing. There's no promises outside the locker room. Like I said, I got very lucky. Two HOF sigs on opposite sides of the Ravens head on the football.

[Moderator 2]

Ray also signs a lot for kids

Where?

[Purple Nurple]

Right, so when you go, make sure you wear one of those baseball hats with the propeller on top. Should work like a charm.

Hahaha, I'll go buy one

[Moderator 2]

Everywhere I have seen him sign--training camp, stadium-- usually not out and about though. A lot of the players live and shop around me and most of us don;t bother them

Oh, I would have rather it been out and about haha. I'm gonna try to go to a game and get his autograph.

[K-Dog]

Expect to pay around $70.00 to $80.00 bucks for Ray.
Its a shame you are posting this now. He just did two signings around here.

Its fas less awesome but getting things already signed by him is not hard.

Wow.. That's alot..
Yeah.. I know. I should've asked a while back.

Yeah.. But I'd rather get one with him standing in front of me.

Yeah, one I did in Millersville was $75, but worth every penny!!!
