Want A Tim Tebow Autograph? That’ll Be $160

[joeybee12]

We may not know which team Tim Tebow will suit up for in 2010, however, we do know people want his autograph and they’ll pay handsomely for it.

The former Florida quarterback appeared Saturday at Palm Beach Autographs, and according to the Florida Times-Union, an estimated crowd of 1,500 people were in attendance to pay $160 for a Tebow autograph.


A portion of the proceeds will reportedly go to the Tim Tebow Foundation, the newspaper reports. Event attendees could also chip in $75 for photos with Tebow.

Please note, "A portion." I repeat, "A portion."

1. Who exactly would pay for that? ridiculous. nt

[joeybee12]

2. I wouldn't...he'd have to pay me to accept it from him...n/t

3. Whether you like him or not

He had a very good college career--8,000+ passing yards, 88 TDs, 11 Ints, 9+ YPA, about 3,000 rushing yards and 57 rush TDs not to mention a Heisman trophy and a NC (Well two but Leak played most of the season, however Tebow was a major contributor). With that said I can't imagine an autograph of his not becoming worth quite some money down the line. To answer your question big fans of Tebow and people looking to make a profit off of it down the line.

8. I don't dislike him and I think he was an amazing college football player but

his stock is going down not up.

7. He's going to the Bills

A little background. I bought NCAA Football '09 (for '08 season) first and played several seasons saving draft classes. Then I got Madden but it could only fit so many draft classes I had to skip the '08 season. Anyways I got to some season down the line but had a freezing issue after the Pro Bowl when I went to start 'Off season'. Anyways it gave me the chance to start fresh so I picked the Jaguars with the intentions of moving them somewhere like Mexico City but I'm warming up to staying in Jacksonville.

So on the college game they got the players with accurate ratings and such and look like them but instead of Michael Crabtree it's WR #5 so you have to rename them yourself. I named Tim Tebow and he is the highest rated QB in the game.

Now finally first season '08 the Bills go 3-13 and land the first pick in the draft, they take Tebow. I know it's not perfect but hear me out. The Lions took Stafford with the 10th overall pick and if Sanchez didn't forgo his senior season like he did in real life the Jets would have drafted him with the 3rd pick but since he stayed and Colt McCoy left early the Jets got him instead. The point is it fills a team need accurately so. Now Tebow is going to be doing an individual workout with the Bills(As well as Seahawks)--http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft10/news/story?id=4974087

Now there is some issues with this such as Michael Crabtree went to the Cowboys, Knowshon Moreno went to the Seahawks so I'm only 1/3 serious :crazy: However be on the lookout for other picks such as CJ Spiller going to the Texans, Eric Berry going to the 49ers.

10. You know this is all coming back to bite me in the ass!

Jerry Jones will pick Tebow to be the third TE in our offense. That will be really offensive to me!

But yeah, Tebow would fit in well with all the fundies down here. I'm in San Antonio for a few weeks.

Something's screwy.

[charlie and algernon]

14. well it's not because it made The Google

I thought maybe if you googled for Tim Tebow's autograph, this thread would come up and people are clicking hoping to buy it. However, while that article shows up at the top of page in google, this thread is no where to be seen. So I'm stumped.

[joeybee12]

15. Weird, it had almost 2,000 befroe anyone actually replied...

...maybe we got a lot of lurkers in the Sports Forum and most of the topics they don't care at all about, but this one tweaked their fancy?

[Onceuponalife]

17. So we have thousands of lurkers here who can't be bothered

to post in threads started by MiM and upton*?? Wow, just think if we had interesting posters here...

[joeybee12]

18. Either that, or some fool who was bored kept clicking on the

thread for a couple hours.

[KamaAina]

11. So, he'll pay me $160 to sign my used toilet paper??

Ummm... hmmm... errr... uh, okay. :eyes:

[LisaM]

16. I wouldn't take his autograph if you paid ME $160

Unfortunately, I heard the bad news on TV last night that he might end up in Seattle. Ugh. I don't think this town is big enough for the both of us.

19. With all of the coverage he gets I'm surprised he's not in the HOF yet.

[joeybee12]

20. I'm kicking this because I still love seeing those 4600+ views!

:evilgrin:

[hughee99]

21. He has to cash in now, before he's sitting at signings between Charlie Ward and Gino Toretta. n/t

[trumad]

22. At least Charlie had a pretty decent Basketball career.
