Welcome to Alex's Autographs!
Thank you for visiting. This site is based on the great hobby of autograph collecting. I personally enjoy collecting autographed rookie cards of players current and retired. On this site, you will find my updates, some hints and tips, pictures of my autographs, awesome links and so much more. My goal for this site is to help those in the autograph collecting community.

Autograph of the Month
Month: June
Billy Wagner
This was a great month for autographs, but I think Billy Wagner was my best success. Wagner is one of the games premier closers, with 385 career saves and a 2.40 ERA - and 1,066 strikeouts in only 818 innings of work.
Some say Wagner is a future Hall of Famer - he is no lock like Mariano Rivera or even Trevor Hoffman are considered to be, but with what he's done he most certainly has a shot at the Hall one day. He has saved over 30 games eight times and over 40 games twice and three times he has pitched in over 60 games in a season and posted an ERA under 2.00. I don't know about you, but I think that's a pretty impressive resume.
Because Billy Wagner is one of the best closers in the game today, and because he might get into the Hall of Fame one day, I name him the Autograph of the Month.
