When you're talking about autographs, you'll usually take what you can get but getting something personally-signed makes a world of difference.

Nominee #1 - Autographed Tim Vesling Photo
Our family went to a summer practice and I walked over to an injured Tim Vesling to say hello. A lonely kicker, he gave me his helmet to try on and I was a fan ever since. Unbeknown st to me, my father tracked him down about 10 years later and he sent me his only copy of his game program and wrote "It's nice to know I had a fan!"
Nominee #2 - Bob Costas-Signed SU Acceptance Letter
During my first week of grad school, Bob Costas was scheduled to speak to the Broadcast Journalism majors with others allowed to sit-in. I skipped half of my Communication Law Class to listen to the master and later had him sign my acceptance letter, which I had tucked away in a folder just in-case there were issues!
