Tom Brady Private Signing for $649
Tom Brady is doing private signings through Tri-Star and Steiner. (See below). I'm interesting in writing a post for Forbes where I cover sports memorabilia. I don't begrudge Brady, I suppose, though I'm a Jets fan.
Three questions, please.
Has anyone ever seen such a high cost for a star to sign your item?
Can anyone thinking of other stars at the peak of their fame and prowess signing?
Finally what do folks think of "private" signings? While half the fun is meeting your hero, if you have a prized possession, it's the only option.
David
P.S. The price of Brady inscriptions is as much as as the vast majority of autographs.

What he charges keeps going up - not necessarily his value. Looking at recent past sales on eBay for Brady PSA/DNA signed items, one can get signed mini helmets for under $250. A PSA/DNA signed 8x10 sold for $150. It's simply a matter of people over-paying for his autograph at private signings.

I don't collect much in sports, though that's where I started. Tom Brady is one I want but I don't really want to spend that much. I plan to wait until his fame dies down though if Tri Star continues to own him he might never get cheap. I will keep scanning for somebody re selling a Tri or Steiner and at least get a discount. I don't mind not "meeting" them in a rushed environment anyway and usually if you buy through the company there is better signature placement.

Thank you Ian. I totally understand, hope you can pick up one for a decent price. I'm with you, I haven't collected sports in a few years. That's where I started.

I can wait,or buy one full price if I want,the money isn't an issue( Im waiting for my boy to send me Roger Waters Dark Side and an Adele he just got). Brady is special though and Im still a football fan though the Eagles suck!

That's why I don't follow the appeal of spending twice as much for the exact same product. If you got to meet Tom and see it sign, then, okay. But you're not, obviously.

You raise a really interesting point, Rich.
As a baseball collector, I've had players sign unique vintage gloves and game-used bats for me. But I can't think of an equivalent for Brady. How many game-used jerseys are out there? The only thing might be to personalize it ,"To XX." But that, of course, devalues the autograph.
So what would be the point of sending something? I'll ask Steiner.

Yeah, if there's an opportunity to get something unique, rare or with special sentimental value signed, then that could be a game changer and makes much more sense than dropping hundreds more on something you can get much cheaper (i.e. standard 8 x 10, mini helmets, football, etc).

Thanks Mr. T but the Mountain Dew killed it for me. I don't really buy things counting on the fact they will be a good investment. I know these things are overpriced. I buy what I enjoy.

As with all genres of autograph collecting, it depends. Some music autographs can be terrible investments. And the same can be said of movie star autographs. It all depends on supply, demand, and the popularity of the signer. I can tell you one thing. Not many people will say Babe Ruth is a bad investment, unless, of course, you over-pay. And that applies to all autographs.

I should add that although I've been critical of the pricing for both Brady and Ford, I certainly can understand people's desires to have their autographs. I am a fan of both. The Star Wars saga is an international treasure, and Brady is one of sports greatest superstars now. And to think their was once a debate of who was better, Brady or Manning. I think that's now been clearly answered. And for those that thought Brady was getting an advantage with an under inflated ball, how did he look in the Super Bowl with a fully-inflated football? And how does 9-0 sound so far this year?
