With Over 300 Pro Athletes On Board, Egraphs Wants To Reinvent And Personalize The Autograph For The Digital Era

Screen shot 2013-01-04 at 6.27.15 PMFor sports fans, and fans in general, nothing beats meeting your favorite athlete, celebrity or musician and getting to capture that experience -- a signed photo, shirt, etc. -- take it home with you and proudly display it to your friends.
