see i told you guys cam was a narcissist

here's a link to my blog where i prove that jake delhomme played a better game against the eagles in week 1 2009 than cam did against any team last season.

I know Smitty did something similar last year or the year before. I don't know if it was charity or what but he was somewhere signing autographs for $80 a pop.

From what i underdstand auttograph hunters that pay that amount of money fro an autograph also gets them access to Cam. That means they can stand across the table and talk with him as he signs. That is probably more favorable than trying to catch his attention in a long line while he speed signs his name. So there is a little more value for what they pay than just a signature. I stil wouldn't pay the money though.

Many of the residents I know of Charlotte simultaneously want to talk up Charlotte as being on the level of cities like Atlanta and New York and then lament it "losing its small-town charm." Pick a damn side and stick with it. Fowler's attitude of being OK with Cam charging for autographs anywhere but Charlotte is an example of this retarded attitude. He's a big boy in a major city, charge the hell out of 'em.

Maybe the people who want the first are different from the people who say the second thing.

Regardless...still no clue what that has to do with the article.

If an adult want an autograph they are going to sell most likely then I have no issue with collecting money.

Give it to kids for free

Any by this I don't mean to give it to kids at this event for free. There are plenty of situations to get free autographs this just isn't one of them. This is specifically for those weirdos who value paying for the whole package. It's not like there are children who find out at the end of the line that they are expected to shell out cash.

what's funny is that someone in here is going to make a thread celebrating the autograph they just got at that signing to put right beside their autographed helmet they spent $500+ for, their collection of baseball cards with pieces of jerseys attached, and their julius peppers fathead in their mancave.

i've heard several times that he only signs for kids. guess not.

no issue with it if its for charity...but I'd never pay for an autograph unless it was on a blank check. I also have no issue with grown ups getting autographs!

There was a baseball player years ago that signed anything and everything for anybody that asked for it because he wanted to flood the market so it was worthless. To me, that's the way to go. Because fans that want it to keep for personal enjoyment don't care if a million other people have it too. It doesn't bring down their sentimental value of it, but it makes it so people can't make a ton off of it on eBay. That's the way to do it right there. I wish I could remember what player it was.

smart move if you don't want people making money off your name and you not get any royalties.
