Rattler to charge $150/autograph
- Thread starter JConXtsy
- Start date
Nice nothings wrong with that .get that money my guy
I don't have anything against it either. I love capitalism, but I do find it ridiculous that he's trying to set the initial bar at $150 when he's just an accomplished Big 12 QB to date.
Maybe I'm out of touch with the prices of sports memoribilia, but I wouldn't pay $150 for Kyler Murray's autograph even if he were my son's hero and that's all he wanted for Christmas.

I'm just a LOT weirded out that my fellow Sooners aren't more accepting of this.
"Per Liz Mullen of Sports Business Journal, Rattler will sign autographs at the National Sports Collector Convention. He’ll be the first college football player to ever do so. Autographs will cost $150 a pop.
It's at a collector's convention, not a post game.

It’s JCon’s fault. He didn’t fully explain the deal. 😂 😂. Oh, maybe we should have opened the link.
I’m referring to myself.

I guess the only reason you would pay that much is because of the prospect of him being big time some day? I'm talking super bowl mvp big time. Personally I wouldn't pay a dime
Sam, Baker, and Kyler have all charged that or less at shows..... Of course this is after pretty illustrious careers. Not sure how much of a cut his managing team will get, but I guess if someone is willing to pay it, it was a good decision.
Personally I wouldn't pay that much for someone's autograph but if you are fine.

I'm a little concerned that this is going to be a distraction for not only Rattler but the entire team. It could even cause some resentment from those that are starters but aren't making a dime due to their position. As soon as Rattler has a bad game there are going to be some that start to question where his mind is.
I can remember the times when the Sooner players would sign a kid's program on the sideline while the kid's were in the stand. My how times have changed. But oh well.
I have a Bob Stoops autographed picture and football for sale but Connecticut has maybe 14 college football fans so make me an offer.
I would hate to live in a state that has no passion for college sports...especially football. I guess up there they are all Patriot fans?
I have a BS hat that is signed but more importantly an impromptu photo of him with my 3 boys when they were smaller in 2001. It’s not autographed
When I was talking with Bob at a tailgate at OUr game in Ames in 2018 he asked me if I wanted anything signed, I politely declined. Too dang Hot that day to carry additional crap

I refuse to let this wet blanket suppress my outrage!
It's not bad at all since I have at least a dozen games to watch each weekend from everywhere in the country.
Pro sports are "king" among New Englanders. I don't care except for MLB.
It does not bother me at all since I friends and cousins in Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas (who have followed OU football since Wilkinson's time) to share OU football with.....and with the internet and cable I get more OU football coverage than I did in Houston.

I PITY DA FOOL! Luv U V!!! I laughed out loud.
Legos? Be prepared to spend more than $150.
The freebee bag you get with a Happy Meal. I'm sure they have some sort of non-binary gender Lego set that McDonald's is pimping to children.
They still do & will. This is an organized sports collectors convention. There will be plenty of people attempting to make money of his signature.
Lego was ahead of the game. The original lego characters were very non binary looking.
really? I can't see Rattler signing autographs for free anymore
Aww heck I can. According to someone on the pay board he did for a kid a week or two ago. I don't see him sigining a ton of stuff when hes busy w/ pre-game or gametime, but when he's on his down time and out & about I can see him stopping for a kid.
I was mainly talking about like during the red/white game and fan appreciation day. I don't know why anyone would pay for it if he will give it out for free at these events
I don't think payin for college players autographs are going to enrich anyones lives. Heck, 99% of these nil kids will flame out imo. Pimped players never work out. But who cares.

You probably know next to nothing about sports memorabilia then. That's not a knock on you. There are tons of people that equate an experience with value just as there are those that just want the "value." OU has a strong tradition of supporting the fans. The new stuff won't take away from that.
You are right about that. I know absolutely nothing about sports memorabilia. I hope you are right.......just hard for me to believe people are willing to pay $150 for an autograph when they could get it for free
If the ncaa makes this legal then screw it, legal paydays are coming to major schools across the fruity plain
I agree. But most OU fans across the country can't make it to that game. In reality, these sports collector conventions are all about money. Most that attend are autograph seekers that profit from their time and money spent to obtain the autographs etc. It's an organized event where many spiort's figures attend one location at one time and the collector can go from booth to booth seeking autographs.
I cannot think of a single human being that I would pay for an autograph. None. Nadda.
I would if the signature were Abraham Lincoln's or other famous historical people.
Geezus it is a paid event if you want to engage, enjoy, if not then pass and make comments on the internet. These powers colleges have been running a minor league operation for decades with no overhead except for a "free" education.
There has been a pivot, and free education ain't paying the bills anymore. If what is happening now offends you and turns you off from collegiate sports, then it might be time to turn the page...

Hi CT. I had actual autographed photos of President's Kennedy, Reagan, and Bush # I. They were on the wall in my office when the 2009 wild fires roared through Southern Oklahoma. Lost everything except for pets, bibles, & family photos. Three homes.
I have a program from when I was a kid, has Troy Aikman, Brian Bosworth, Spencer Tillman. Have it framed hanging in my gameroom. I heard that Rattler is giving everything he makes as a Sooner to charity. If so thats a smart move, would speak high about his character.
