I agree with this at baseball games and other live events with adults shoving kids around to get an auto. Disagree for something organized like this and GTSM/Tristar shows.

I'm happy for them to be able to make some cash. Just think how many people who later on became superstars got nothing for signing at the time

Sports memorabilia is a $5billion dollar industry & has been growing.

It’s like fantasy football, everyone made fun of it, yet everyone plays. Most sports fans have some sort of team & player memorabilia

Correct most fans do. And that’s ok as long as they didn’t stand in a long line waiting for some kid to sign something for them.


$5billion industry??? Link please.

That is from way back in February. I don’t think that can be relied upon. A lot of changes in the economy have taken place since then.

So, with NIL, would it be legit for someone to work with like the Boys and Girls club, or some other organization, and pick up a couple of busses full of kids and pay for them them all to get autographs?
