The market for autographed cards is growing just like the market for anything that is autographed. People who see autograph now it doesn’t matter who it is they want to collect it. Anytime there is a celebrity present, anytime there is a baseball player president, at any time there is a sports athlete of any kind someone is taking a card in front of them with a sharpie and asking for an autograph. Now if you want lets say and Adrian Peterson autograph football card you almost have to buy it from his agent.
Back in my day was easy to get autographed cards. Today it is not as most celebrities and sports stars refused to sign anything. This makes them idiots in my opinion. They are paid largely by their fans and they refuse to give their fans anything back. All they have to do to win over the fans is to simply signed an autograph now and then. But, the society that we live in and the mentality of most people is how to make money and how to make more money even if they have millions already. This is a sad commentary on our society but it is the way that it is.
