Are we seeing the slow death of the autograph?

Over the weekend, fans at major sporting events across the nation had the chance to meet their idols and maybe even grab a selfie.

With fans increasingly preferring a photograph over their favourite athlete’s signature, are we seeing the beginning of the end for the humble autograph?

Matildas defender Winonah Heatley said she doesn’t have a preference between the two, and that ‘any sort of fan engagement is pretty special’.

Do you prefer an autograph or a selfie? Let us know in the comments.
