We reported a couple of days ago about the Tebow doing an autograph session in Jacksonville that you too could have attended...for $160. Well, it turns out you might have had some trouble attending it, because there was a huge crowd.
Yes, people were lining up a good 6-plus hours before the "Brush with Greatness" began at the Avenues Mall in South Jacksonville and yes, chances are if you were willing to wait, you got a picture and/or a signature with the guy who people in North Florida apparently feel is god or some derivative of him. (Yeah...I can't believe I said it either).
The story from jacksonville.com is RIGHT HERE
Okay. We, in a way understand the somewhat insane, crazed fixation the folks of North Florida have with Tebow. He is a local kid, yeah, we get that. Our question is...$160? We pontificated on it in the story from earlier in the week and we still ask it. Why would you spend that much money for anybody's autograph? Yeah, we know that he was one of the best college football players to ever live, but do you really think that you'll see that autographs value increase. 25 years from now, will people be floored that you got his signature?
