Collecting autographs do not have to go in any particular direction, it is sometimes determined by where the heart driving.

Every NBA fan would love to have an autograph of their favorite athlete, but often the cost of basketball autographs are out of reach for many. Already is the cost factor or the concern as to whether or not a paid autograph is authentic, many are looking toward the athletes for autographs free basketball.

One of the best places to start, or build, your basketball autograph collection is through the Basketball Hall of Fame. As general rule the halls of fame are very accommodating to fans and autograph request. The rooms I personally do not give autographs, but usually fan mail forwarded to athletes for handling.

Very often, the best time to ask for autographs is after an athlete has retired basketball game. During the height of his career, most basketball stars are flooded with requests for his autograph, which may make it difficult for answer each one individually. When requesting an autograph, always send a SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) with sufficient postage to accommodate the costs of return post. If you are sending your own collection of basketball to be signed, including a photo or trading card, make sure the envelope size will consider the issue without having to be bent. For investment purposes, basketball autographs will be your most valuable if they are in perfect condition.

In addressing the mailing envelope, make sure you put the name of a basketball player at the top, to be followed by the address for the hall of fame.
