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.
