I think JZA is trying to make the point that 'why is anything good'.
Soccer is a bunch of guys running arround tring to kick a lttle leather ball in between some metal posts. Why is that good??? I don't know, I just know that I like playing/watching it!!
Why is a player signing a card good?
1) Because every time you look at it you will remember meeting that player!!
2) Because you probably got/get enjoyment from it!
you can do this to anything in this hobby mate, over analysing!
Sometimes the thought does travel through my head ...
Why do we pay hundreds for signatures and memorabilia?
Collect cards which are just cardboard etc
I know i love collecting because its bring enjoyment and memories everytime i look at my collection. As with signatures, i like it because i got to meet the player in person.
Still remember my first Juddy sig at a wce training ... moments like that!
seriously its an pros job to give autographs and get photo's u just cant say no!
i asked travis biard for western bulldogs after a game for an autograph and he said no!
but didnt worry me whaT a dud he was (he deserved it 2)
Thats awesome mate,
memories like that keep you going!
I remember also meeting Benny Cousins when i was younger and getting a few auto's and photo ... thats the memories that you hold onto and the reason behind my collecting. Back then he was more than happy to pose for a photo and give his full sig!
Hahaha. Yeah, I guess. He hasnt really ever been that nice.
Except for the time in Wollongong when the Cowboys versd the Dragons and Bowen got a rib injury his year. He was very nice and signed a heap of cards and I got a photo. Mum said it was probabaly because he was drugged to relieve the pain
