Autograph Collectors Support Group

My wife called me an "autographaholic" this morning. Is anyone else suffering from this illness? Perhaps we should create a support group.

I was really tested today. Eric Davis, Dale Murphy and Andy Van Slyke were signing autographs when I visited the Steiner Sports Store. I simply browsed around the store a little bit, and then I exited the store without purchasing anything. It was a big step.

In all honesty, I had no idea that they were going to be there. If I did, I would have brought my 1988 Topps Eric Davis, Dale Murphy and Andy Van Slyke baseball cards with me for them to sign. They were each charging $29 for an autograph. I am very upset about missing the opportunity.

They were supplying 8x10 photos and baseballs, but I do not know how much the store was charging additionally for them. I doubt that the store was supplying them for free.

After my trip to the Steiner Sports Store, I headed over to Hofstra University to have Ron Darling autograph my 1988 Topps Ron Darling baseball card at Little Hofstra. He was charging $25. 8x10 photos were being sold for an additional $5. I was curious, so I asked. I did not ask how much the baseballs were being sold for. There was nobody else on line. I was in and out of the card show in five minutes.
