pretty much, like tonight is a meet and greet STAT at Steiner Sports offices. I think it was about 400$ to reserve a spot but it sold out very quickly.

they might still, it depends what their agreement with the company they have. but they might also sign it less nicer than if you buy it from the store, like free ones they might just sign initials and paid ones they sign the full name. it really depends on each situation though.

yeah it's sad this is how it is now, like with baseball a lot of players pick the ugliest places to sign their autos for free, but when you show them the money they will sign in the center of the sweet spot

see, if you purchased this from Steiner Sports you would have gotten a more complete Gallinari signature. hey look you can even see STAT in the photo.

Last year i got the whole team to sign a ball for me.

I got Allan Houston, David Lee, Tracy McGrady, Eddie House, Al Harrington, Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, Chris Duhon, Sergio Rodriguez, Bill Walker, Toney Douglas, and even Walt Frazier. I got the WHOLE team everybody. only people who gave me bad sigs were Gallinari (Who was kinda rude) and Eddie House (Who was a nice guy).

I want to go back this year and get Wilson Chandler to sign a Hat and get the team to sign another ball for me.

I hope they will be able to because you are one of the true fans that value the player/fan bond and not the money factor that ruins it a lot of times. also a lot of players don't sign anymore or sign crappy because they already have this attitude you will put it on Ebay to profit off it.

also what kind of ball do you use, is it the official leather game ball? a friend of mine had one of those signed and the leather started cracking and ruined the whole ball.

yes, I agree totally and seeing this Steiner partnership is starting to head the Knicks towards that direction. seeing sell Jeter jerseys for 15,000$ you can imagine what STAT's first season jerseys will command. it's shame though because as the teams get better and become more and more successful/popular they become more arrogant and start losing touch with the real peeps who make them who they are which are the fans. the Giants football team used to sell their high end items on their website pro shop but now they stopped and put these on NFL Auctions where only the rich can bid on the items, the jerseys run for thousands and footballs more than 500$.[/quote

that shits crazy. I've never tried to get any Giants Autos but i have heard crazy stories. and I have seen crazier about the Yankees!

As a kid i always wondered why they never left the Net down so the ball would go into ths stands, now I know why.

but as far as the Knicks go im just going to have to wait till I go to my first game this year, get there 4 hours early, stand by the players entrance and wait and see.

I forget which game it was but I think security would have killed the fan to get back the helmet Brandon Jacobs threw into the stands. I don't believe that bs that it's the only helmet issued for the season, they wanted it back so they could eventually sell it off.

but yes, good luck with getting autographs I think you will be successful. maybe next season when Carmelo comes it will be more difficult.
