Now that you have the 14 autographs, what will you do with them?
I always wonder what people do with sports autographs. I know people collect important ones and buy/sell them, but you don't strike me as the collectibles type... (besides, how many of the T-Wolves autographs are really "collectibles"?)
When I was a kid, I had a picture on my wall of Bobby Hull and it was autographed. It was cool at the time, because it was Bobby Hull and I loved hockey.
Now I am not sure why I would wait in line to get autographs, as I don't know what I would do with them...

His best case scenario is that one of the players becomes the next Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant. Then it will be worth a ton of money and he could sell it for a few hundred bucks.
Seeing as it's the Timberwolves though... well, it looks nice hanging on the wall.
Having am item signed by the whole team makes a great autograph item. You don't get too many chances of finding something like that, as a collector. If you were to sell it, having a couple pictures from the signing will be helpful. If the team goes on to win a championship, it adds more value. No one likes losers.
Funny story; I have an 8x10 photo signed by Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman. These are two pretty big actors and for a collector, having this would be pretty cool. Now, if I said it was from Dick Tracy, people would say "Wow! That's kinda awesome.". If I said it was from Ishtar, people would say "What the fuck would you get THAT for?". A autographed 8x10 of Beatty and Hoffman from Dick Tracy would probably sell for $100 and the Ishtar would be $30 or $40 at best.
I have the Ishtar and it's not for sale.

COURTSIDE!! For winning Kiss-Cam! That is so awesome! We expect many photos and stories about what these dudes are saying to each other during the last game of the season.
Thanks for the answer. It did make a lot of sense… I guess my one issue these days is that guys leave from teams so fast there isn’t that same connection that there used to be, meaning their autograph means less to me than it would’ve then.
Yes, the Bobby Hull picture would still be cool. Although for me it is different than when I was a kid. I will have to check if my Mom kept that one when she sold the house. (I would have it in a box in my basement now) Otherwise she may have sold it… I had a Johnny Unitas one too.
Now I have to go look.
Congrats on the courtside seats!

Oh man, someone should have given you the opportunity to tell what position you think the Packers should take in the first round of the draft tonight. So, hey, what did you think of that pick? Can you believe that crazy thing happened? What were the, um, Raiders thinking?

Had a few days worth of videos to catch up on so one comment blends into another but when you were talking about seeing & recognizing patterns, were you talking about life in general or Press Your Luck ?
What position do the T-Wolves need to focus on strengthening in the upcoming NBA Draft ?
The media says NASCAR is boring now because of the lack of yellow flags - meaning no wrecks and less strategy ? Do you agree ?

Oops, I totally misread this question. Oh well, hear me answer a completely different question (and so much more)!
I think I'm caught up with previous questions, so if you were waiting for me to talk about something and I STILL haven't covered it, you will need to gently remind me.
Ha! I never actually saw that quote, but man the press was fawning over the veterans like they were Thumper getting twitterpated, and the results were hilarious on occasion. Not that I'm saying we shouldn't show full respect to all our veterans.
