I made a trip to the Living Spaces in La Mirada where "The Captain" Kareem was making an appearance. I arrived hours in advance and there were still about 20 people in line ahead of me. By the time he showed up there were hundreds of Laker fans lined up outside of the store. They passed out wristbands, but there was not enough for all the fans in line. We were told that he would not be signing any outside items. This caused an uproar in the crowd. But the soon to be mob calmed down once they saw Kareem signings the items for the people in the front of the line. He agreed to sign memorbillia as long as he could personalize the items. This made the items less valuable on Ebay. For collectors like me the personalization was a plus. I had Kareeem sign a Spalding Basketball. Living Spaces always run a smooth signing. I was in and out in a matter of minutes. The no posed Photos is always bittersweet.
