I've often been doing stories on someone, and gone to their website for more info. I'm pleasantly surprised, when their store sells autographed memorabilia.

Well, working on my fantasy football team, I wanted to find out of the Seattle Seahawks star running back Shaun Alexander was going to play the last game of the season. As any fantasy football owner will tell you, the last game of the season makes things difficult for everyone. Great players on great teams that already have the playoffs clinched, often don't play the whole game. That hurts their stats, and your team.

When I Googled him, I saw he had his own website. And, he also sells his autograph. Unfortunately, it was on the pricey side.

Autographed football jerseys cost you $600. His college jersey, $375.

The Sports Illustrated he graced the cover of, was $300.

I believe they had a few other magazines, around the same price.

Expensive. But, if he's your favorite player, and you want to be assured you're getting an authentic signature...there's probably not a better route to take.
