Autograph specialist Mounted Memories has been chosen to bring some order to the signing pavilion at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
{mosimage} Mounted Memories has executed an exclusive deal to operate the autograph pavilion at the Hall during the Enshrinement Weekend Celebration, being held August 4, 5 and 6 in Canton, OH. Sponsored by Topps, the autograph pavilion will include one of the largest assortments of Pro Football Hall of Famers signing in one location in history. This is the first time in Hall of Fame history that an outside entity has been contracted to run the autograph pavilion.
"The Pro Football Hall of Fame is pleased to have secured the services of Mounted Memories to manage the Topps Hall of Fame Autograph Sessions during this year’s Hall of Fame Enshrinement Celebration," said Joe Horrigan, vice president of communications for the Hall of Fame. "The experience and expertise they bring will be a valuable addition to this popular event."
Three autograph sessions will be held throughout the weekend in conjunction with the Hall of Fame Enshrinement Ceremony and Hall of Fame Game. The sessions are scheduled on Friday from 2-4 p.m., on Saturday from 5-7 p.m. and on Sunday from 3-5 p.m. All players at the autograph pavilion will have individual autograph tickets, so fans can choose the players from whom they’d like an autograph.
Guests already committed to the show include Dick Butkus, Dan Marino, Joe Montana, Gale Sayers, Bob Griese and members of the Hall of Fame Class of 2006 — Troy Aikman, Harry Carson, Rayfield Wright and Warren Moon.
"We are extremely excited about our new exclusive relationship with the Hall of Fame for its autograph pavilion during the induction weekend," said Mitch Adelstein, president of Mounted Memories. "Our strong relationships with these key NFL players will help make the autograph pavilion a success for the Hall of Fame and fans alike."
In addition to the autograph pavilion, Mounted Memories will have a retail booth where fans can purchase photos, footballs and other memorabilia to have signed by the players.
