lol.. yea... that is pretty friggin big... I just cut and paste what is on the websites so people can see the info.... the file they used must have been really big.

I am sure if you call the place, they will do mail order... most of these places do.

Sure, if you go to training camp, you can try to catch him.... hit or miss if he signs... but he is not going to go sit in someone's store and sign everything you want him to unless he get's paid.

I pay for all my signatures, when you get signatures in the parking lots, hotels, training camps, etc they usually really suck and scribble all over your item. With that in mind alot of these new guys have horriable signatures anyways so who cares. If your not into collecting or want people to think your autograph is a fake dont pay for sigs'. Sometimes you can get a good autograph for free. I needed Riggins a few years ago for a HOF helmet that I already had 7 HOF's already on including Sammy Baugh, I caught up with Riggo in a parking lot, he signed my helmet and messed it all up, anyone who knows his signature doesn't believe that is his signature (I just tell people he was drunk HA ! ) . Since he started doing signings again I have paided to have his good signature and what a difference.

I try to stick with the grts, hof'ers. Cooley has a decent autograph he does have two though his hurry up one which consists of three loops and a scibble and his paid one which is the more recognizable.

$35 (or 4.5 beers at the game) is a good price to meet him, get a signature and a picture with him.

Anyone go to this appearance or know if the signing went down? I sent in a ProLine Revolution helmet for the signing so I'm kind of anxious to find out if everything went as planned. I could call the place but I'd rather not bother them again as they might be sick of my emails by this point

P.S.

I know this is old news now, but as to that story about Cooley depositing his $9 million signing bonus at a drive through window ... bear in mind that I haven't done compound interest equations since 11th grade, but even without fancy math, if you deposited $9 million in an account returning 5% interest that is $450,000 in interest for the year, or roughly $360 an hour. HOLY CRAP! No wonder these guys look for the big pay days. Hope Cooley didn't put that in a checking account returning like .5% (though that would still be $45,000/year).
