🏈 Best places to purchase autographed Bama football items?

[PhillyGirl]

I am looking to get my first autographed Bama item .. but I am having trouble weeding through everything.

Are there any websites or stores you recommend for legit items?

Is there any circumstance in which you would consider buying an item that does NOT have a COA?

Any help at all is appreciated. Thanks!

Flowers by Rita is Gadsden, Alabama ALWAYS have the guys come in to sign after the season and when they go pro. They also bring back guys like Henry, Ingram, and Richardson when they are back in town for A-Day, seasonal games, or celebration deals. That's if you want a guy coming out.

Guys in school you're best bet is eBay unfortunately. The autograph hounds on Fan Day as shitty as they are, do offer signed items. Places like Fanatics will jack the price up, but they have former players items. Other than that, Fan Day is your best option for whichever players you want specifically.

There's a Saban/Tua mini helmet on eBay for $99.99 but that is way too good to be true.

I also see a few Tua mini helmets and footballs but nobody has a COA which makes me paranoid.

Gah.

Prince Wimbley Productions

was gonna post about his company. i've done business with them (only bought 1 item) but they are very nice and very accommodating.

Just go with ebay. There are multiple reputable merchandise companies/sellers that have stores on Ebay. Not only do a lot of them have certificates of authenticity (from places like Beckett so you know its not bullshit) but some even have pictures of the athletes signing.

A COA is worthless.... all it says is,..if you can prove the autograph is not real...we will refund your money...whatever..
When i was getting mine..which I dont do anymore.... i meet the players in person...
....u can around stadium..at autograph events staged at malls in mobile..Birmingham or huntsville....tuscaloosa....
Or hang out around the entrance of stadium for a hour or so after game...when they are coming out....and crowds have moved on...
I personally do not con sider any reputable....might be but,...????
Spring game use to be a bonzana ....but NS changed the access to the players..
The university mall has quite an out let for autographed merchandise....pricy...
Lot of players drop by there...
Probably that Prince Wimbley business is ok....i met prince and Langham....
They seem honest...

I'd really like a Tua signed mini helmet, or a mini football (Bama one). There's a #13 signed helmet on eBay but the 1 sticker isn't the correct font.

I've also always wanted a Derrick Henry autograph.

Nice!! That's awesome.

yeah it surprised the hell out of me! i mean i knew it was a picture even though it was wrapped. but i thought maybe it was another Daniel Moore print. but i was more excited to have the DH autograph.

A COA is FAR from worthless, depending on who does it. If its just a COA from the seller, then yea but if its a COA from a company like Beckett, its verified that its legit.

Langham's autographs, especially on cocktail napkins, have proven to be incredibly costly.

If you want authenticity.....spring game....around the stadium....on game day....
There are plenty of X players.....
A friend got Henrys at a Titans game....after the game....
And a lot of people are going to the "fan day" and reselling....thats why the real fan cant get any...
But to me...authograghs use to be great....now they are scribble....most are not legible....
Ms50+ got Nicks.....on her dang brand new purse...and now she wont use her purse anymore... just have to be ready.....
My favorite autograph...glad you asked....i have Paul Bryant.and on same dinner program.....is Mary Harmon Bryant....

$24.99 is about right. they used to be around $20 a few years ago (the last time i got one), so the rise in price is normal.

but i'd want one with "17" on it.
