Whats the deal with Cam charging for Autographs today?

They dont give you a jersey or a helmet at these signing you have to bring your own to have it signed...

This truly is a non story and is just the media looking for something to talk about. Just a testament to how polarizing Cam is as a player & individual.

If this was about Matt Ryan or Carson Palmer, it would have as much interest to us as the ladies have interest in X-Clowns bedroom: zero

just like cam newton was the first college athlete to be embroiled in a pay-for-play scandal, he's also the first pro in recorded history to sign up with a memorabilia company that charges for autographs. what a douchebag we have on our hands here.

Let's take that $175 for a signed jersey. If you just randomly got a jersey signed by somebody and then wanted to get some form of official certification for that signature, then you're looking at about $100 for the jersey (according to the nfl.com shop for a well known player) and then another $25-50 for certification. So for an extra $50 or so, you get the garauntee of the autograph and instant certification of it's authenticity, plus a meet and greet and possible photo-op with the player.

Seems like a pretty good deal to me.

Yeah and you know it's real. It's something you can pass along to your kids and know with out a doubt it's authentic.

There's so much fake crap floating around its almost worth it if you want to know for sure. I saw some thing on 60 mins or Real SPorts or something about how all these people had bought all this autographed stuff and it was all fake. One of the guys on the show was devastated when he found out the Mickey mantle and Yankees stuff he wanted to pass on to his children was forged.

I wouldn't drop $200 on a sig but not gonna tell some other man how to spend his money

Ok, so $150 for all that. Still, not that bad of a price, all things considered.

The hate for Cam Newton is Unbelievable.

I posted this in the 1st thread about Cams signing coming up and I paid only $30 for this certified auto of Cam so if you want one go to Ebay and save some money.

That sig is whack

I was just wondering what certified Newton autographs were going for these days. So that meet-n-greet aspect is obviously worth a lot to some folks.

Full disclosure, I have nothing autographed and never plan to have anything autographed.

Which PFT commenter did you lift that knee slapper from? Or did you go high brow and steal it from an observer post? Maybe try bleacher report or ESPN next time.

Dayum. Highest sale price is over $2000? Yep, totally worth it.

Back on topic: apparently Eli manning is doing a private autograph signing next week, and is charging $600 for a pair of autographed cleats (among other things) with no mention of proceeds going to charity. This is a guy who signed a 100 million dollar contract, making much more than cam. Why aren't there articles ripping him for his greed?
