It's not for me, but I see the allure. I think it's kind of neat.
People pay for ringtones, why not pay a bit extra for a personalized voice message and wall paper for your computer from your favorite athlete. I can see this being popular as a gift. Not everybody buys stuff from a collectible or investment standpoint. If they did QVC would have been out of business a long time ago. It's the novelty and personalization of it that may make it popular. |

Its a fancy expensive way of getting a somewhat personal email from a player. I get the allure. Not for me either, but I get it.

Jim,
Please step back from the ledge! It's a novelty gift. I could see someone buying for a friend as a cool different type of gift. They're paying more for the personal greeting than really a signature. I can't imagine this would really appeal to an autograph collector. I also don't think this would prevent someone from buying a true autographed picture. Best, Mark

it's the next idea someone dreamt up to try to make money,
like psa's rookie graphs. i have yet to see a rookie graph. it flopped but just another revenue stream. like calling larry holmes for 20 bucks. its a gimmick. http://www.hollywoodiscalling.com/ |

It's not replacing autographs. Look at the bright side, maybe it will spark an interest in real autographs in kids. That can't be bad for the hobby.

I was so depressed when I saw this a couple of weeks ago, I refused to post it. The Rays are a first adopter of this abomination. PFFFFT.

I don't look at this as having anything to do with autographs. Things are so impersonal with sports and sports figures these days, even at a show where you get an autograph. So impersonal, so robotic. I think it is great to have this kind of personal interaction with a player. I would not hesitate to do this for my kids if they wanted it for their birthday.
I have grown to love the autograph hobby, and see zero connection between this and the hobby. In many respects, this is more personal than an in person autograph. Tom C |

i'm with jim, this is nuts, pushing carts at walmart if this takes off. Probably pushing carts at walmart anyway, but at least this way i can blame it on something.
