I have three autographs that I got in person - Allen, Eddie Kennison and Ginger Lynn. I have one that is personalized and was directly got for me by one of my bosses (Montana). Of the rest, several are almost certainly legit, but some.... who knows? Considering the high number of frauds out there, I have to assume that even though all my stuff is "authenticated" in some way and I always scrutinize stuff before I buy it, some of it is bound to be fake.

When we drafted Tony Gonzalez, before he ever played a game, he was supposed to come to a Price Chopper near our house to sign autographs. I was 12 or so at the time. We waited in line for quite a while wondering what the hold up was because no one was there signing anything.
It turned out he wasn't able to make it because he got lost or something like that. Who knows why he didn't actually show. Obviously at the time it wasn't that big of a deal since it was just a rookie that had never even played a game yet, so I am sure no one really gave it a second thought.
Once they realized he wasn't going to make it they sent Donnie Edwards out to us instead. So instead of a Tony Gonzalez rookie autograph I got a Donnie Edwards autograph on a mini Chiefs helmet. Then shortly thereafter, a year or so I guess, we proceeded to really destroy what little value it had by having Elvis Grbac sign it. Oh what could have been.
