new around here - looking for autograph leads and willing to share

[ScottCT]

My name is Scott as by the user name.

I am not a big baseball fan, but my girlfriend of 7 years this week, her father is a huge Red Sox fan as well as Patriots fan for years. I joined here because I would like to find out if anyone here tries to track down places that have players go to sign items for the public. I don't like to buy my collection on eBay, I like to go, meet the players, and get picture proof that I met them. Its a slight obsession, but one day it will become an awesome Man Cave.

My Collection so far is mostly basketball items. I've been trying to expand that to the Patriots since I am a fan as well and after tons of seaching was able to find a little info on where to meet the players and grab some autographs.

So I am here to try to find information on where to find and meet the Sox players and grab some autographs to add to my girlfriends dad collection.

I did attempt to do a few searches but I would appreciate ANY help towards threads with the information already or if you know of local sports stores that have players stop by and sign. I have one very small sports store that can be kind of pricey, especially for better known players, but its at least a small lead that I am willing to share.

The are K&M Allstar Sports in Connecticut. Very easy to find in a google search. They have had some Celtics players, Red Sox players, and many more, BUT due to CT being the home of wrestling, they mostly have wrestlers.

Thank you ahead of time for any help or leads and your time is much appreciated.
