Why did Zion Williamson's Autograph Price Just Drop 35%???
Recently Zion Williamson’s autograph price dropped by 35%!
Why did this happen?
Prior to becoming the #1 pick by the New Orleans Pelicans, Zion was already a HUGE autograph in demand. Talking $500-$1000 depending on the item.
After being drafted, the price starting creeping towards $1,000 and above.
Why?
There was no price to base anything off of.
Zion had yet to do a paid autograph signing. All these items were signed in person or at the Duke meet and greet before the season.
Sellers were just pricing items based off what they thought they could get for them. Basically, the wild, wild, west for autographs.
So what happened?
Zion did an autograph signing and brought the price down.
A company had finally brought him in to do a paid, sit down autograph signing.
Zion isn’t worth a company paying $500-$1000 for an autograph, probably more in the $150-$200 range. No company would pay that $500 autograph price.
Thus, this is where an autograph signing actually brought the price down.
A comment I hear a lot of are “dealers are ruining the autograph market.” The thinking is by charging for autographs, the players will no longer sign for free. I haven’t seen that be the case.
I think its just anger and frustration that players they want in their collection are priced too high for some. And that’s a fair and legitimate grip. However, not everything in life is meant to be affordable for everyone.
Take Michael Jordanfor example. Not everyone can afford an $8,000 jersey. See my recent video on why Michael Jordan’s jersey price doubled.
With all that being said, here is a clear example of how dealers helped the autograph market.
Bringing the price down.
Providing a quality item.
Provides a win, win for the customer and also the industry.

Nice autograph by Cal Ripken Jr. Thank you Matt Powers and his team for this signing event.
Nice autograph. Thank you Matt Powers and his team for this signing event.
I've had this card since the age of 12. Never had the opportunity until now to get his RC signed. Thanks Matt for making this happen!!
Once again, Matt and his team delivered a smooth, professional experience in obtaining a Dustin Pedroia autograph (with authentication) to a book already containing a number of Red Sox greats’ signatures. I recommend Powers Spirts Memorabilia highly.
Great experience. Card was just as described. Excited to have this added to the collection.

😍 such a nice autograph! Thank you!
Thank you for another awesome autograph!
Mr. Powers delivered on my request for this Cal Ripken jr. autograph. It was a nice size clean and perfect signature better than I expected. Mr. Powers team is quick to respond with any concerns you may have and keeps you posted on your item. I will absolutely be getting more signatures through them to finish my collection. I highly recommend Powers Sports to anyone that has any doubts. I use to do send ins with Steiner sports until he sold, to me Powers picked up where they left off and I couldnt be happier. Thank you
Great experience as usual! I’ll definitely be getting more autographs in the future!!
As good as it gets

Great job by Powers Sports once again! They were able to secure a great signature from Andy Reid on my trading card, using the exact type pen and the exact location that I requested. Accuracy and quality are their top priority!

Awesome experience as usual!
Great experience! I had never gotten any autographs through a signing like this before and I had a number of questions. Someone called me right back & couldn’t have been nicer. The customer service was outstanding every step of the way & I couldn’t be happier with the Reggie Jackson autographed ticket.
