Re: Sonny, Billy, Rypien, Williams, Huff & More
 

im not big on autographs, but wouldnt mind a picture of me between kilmer and jurgey

Re: Sonny, Billy, Rypien, Williams, Huff & More
 

I believe you can get your picture with them if you buy an autograph.

Re: Sonny, Billy, Rypien, Williams, Huff & More
 

I've never been to a big autograph show. Are they any fun? Can I take my own cards or pictures to get signed?

Re: Sonny, Billy, Rypien, Williams, Huff & More
 

yea you can get whatever you want signed check the prices though at csashows.com

Re: Sonny, Billy, Rypien, Williams, Huff & More
 

Is there not something wrong, and cheap about these guys hanging out and charging for their autographs?
Sonny, and Billy??????? Even Ryp. Doug, and Huff. These guys are Redskin legends. Seems wrong.

They get paid very well.... If I offered you 10 grand to fly in, meet fans for a couple of hours, sign autographs and people tell you how much they loved what you did.... wouldn't you do it? Some of these guys make ALOT more than that too.

Re: Sonny, Billy, Rypien, Williams, Huff & More
 

I would, but I'm a sleazy, money grubin', CAPITALIST! I expect better from my sports heroes.........especially Redskin heroes.
Whatta' gonna' do?

Re: Sonny, Billy, Rypien, Williams, Huff & More
 

speaking of former skins i think its BS that irving got in the hall before monk.
the sports writers should not be allowed to vote for the hall inductees.it should be the coaches and owners.Monk and Grimm got the shaft!!!
i bet Derrell Green gets the shaft also.hes only the greatest corner ever!HAIL SKINS!!!!

I am obviously in the minority on Darrell Green based on the thread about the best Redskin ever.... but I think Darrell was way over rated and think he is borderline for ever getting to Canton..... I am sure I will get slammed for this.:spank:

Yep your right. Slammed you are.

Darrell Green is by far very under rated, not only was he a STAR ATHLETE, one of the best corners ever. But a role model citizen!

Cake walk into Canton.....FACTOID! :smashfrea

Re: Sonny, Billy, Rypien, Williams, Huff & More

Re: Sonny, Billy, Rypien, Williams, Huff & More
 

Seriously fellas, do die-hard Skins fans shell out the bucks to go to these autograph events? Hero-worship is cool but at what price does our loyalty draw the line?:( I'm just curious, has anyone gone to such an event? What kind of cash was spent? Finally, was it any fun and would you go again?!

Not hero worship, yet having a piece of something you can call you own signed by a pro, HOF, favorite player in his day, etc. 8+10 color autographed framed photos look great in a sports rec room and helmets looks even better. So if you have something you treasure and the signer is a favorite player from your fan past, why not, if you can spare the cash.

As far as cash goes... it really depends on who's autograph your getting.... Riggo and DG get 175 to sign a big item (I can't believe DG gets that much).... you can get other guys alot cheaper at smaller shows. The thing this weekend has guys from 20 bucks up to 150ish or more. I know there are some guys here in my town (Fredericksburg) that run signings much cheaper..... for example, You can get Pat Fischer & Ron McDole's autograph next weekend (3-24) for only 10 bucks for both:

There is a link with that information... I already put one on here for the one this weekend
