Signing Session Items. Are these collectible?
Just curious if you feel that items used during an autograph sessions by a famous athlete are collectibles.
Are signing utensil like a pen or sharpee from an autograph session a collectible? I have seen a sharpee used by Miguel Cabrera and its MLB authenticated too.
Are water bottle from a signing session a collectible? I have seen someone try to sell a bottle of wattle used by Derek Jeter with a photo of Jeter drinking from the bottle as proof.
Or maybe its just questioning it desirability.
I can see maybe a name tag or a name placement sign on a table as something kinda cool.
Any ways does anyone have anything similar in their collection?Regards,

I have zero interest. A bat or jersey is a part of history of the game. A pen from a signing, a water bottle, abc gum, is worthless to me.

Re: Signing Session Items. Are these collectible?
I once saw an mlb authenticated sharpie from a locker room mem signing of curtis granderson, i considered buying it to display with an autographed jersey i have but then reality kicked my a$$ and told me that this was overdoing it- i mean it would have been cool if my jersey was from the signing but it was not. To your question i would say no. But as the saying goes "to each his own"

Re: Signing Session Items. Are these collectible?
I remember last year the Sixers auctioned off the pen AI used when he signed his contract to come back to the Sixers. Something like that is kinda hokey in my eye, but I understand that being "historic". Same goes for a World Series champagne bottle.
As for the Jeter water bottle. Just too much for me. I know there is always a market for something, but when it comes to recyclable/garbage, I think people need to really take a step back before opening their wallet.Cheers,

If there are people out there that have bought ARod jock straps and Derek Jeter socks, then there is definitely someone out there who will collect those items too. Autographed baseballs aren't part of the game and they are collected, anything to get close to the player for some people I guess.
