What about baseball autographs? Or in the UK Premier division football training grounds,
Kids used to hang out at spring training, leaning on the rails for hours to get the autograph of their favourite player.
Now dealers follow the players in their cars, intercepting them at stores and restaurants, to get signatures that they can then sell on eBay for big bucks.
Or sometimes a dealer will hire an appealing-looking kid to make his autograph request for him.
Yuck! the 'markets' tentacles, like some all consuming octopus reaches ever deeper into our behaviour.
