Lonzo Ball has been on the shelf lately for the Los Angeles Lakers, but if you want the rookie point guard’s autograph somewhere on your shelf, it will certainly cost you.
With the NBA world descending on Los Angeles later this week, the Ball family seems intent to capitalize on Lonzomania. Ball will take part in an autograph session at a mall in City of Industry, California over the weekend.
And as ESPN’s brand fan Darren Rovell points out, the price for Lonzo’s signature is pretty pricey.

It’s difficult to judge exactly how much an autograph is worth, but it’s no surprise the Big Baller Brand star would ask for nearly two bills to get a pen on some merch. Beckett Witness Authentication costs a mere 10 bucks more, so you may as well have someone stare at Lonzo while he signs your rookie card to make it worthwhile.
People get autographs for different reasons, of course, so if you’re just a really big Lonzo fan and want his autograph you might pay any price. But if you’re looking for good value, an investment of sorts, it’s tough to know that Ball’s signature is actually worth $199.
As Lonzo Wire points out, buying a pair of ZO2s and getting them autographed yourself does save you a few bucks compared to the “Wet” edition of ZO2 Primes, which retails for $995. Though there’s really nothing close to a good deal to be had when LaVar Ball is involved, is there?
