OUR STORY
Crave the auto was started by Jason Hostetler in October, 2013. On a fine Saturday morning, Jason wanted to bring his six year old son out for the day to get some autographs, until he realized one thing, there was not a simple place to go to find this out. That Saturday, he purchased the domain www.cravetheauto.com, and started building a website that provided listings of where people can go get autographs. Making new connections and getting information from fans, cravetheauto.com has developed in to something much more than anticipated. In this short span since inception, Crave Sports Company not only operates one of the best websites ever invented (from our perspective), but now hosts athletes to bring life and new excitement into the autograph world. This company is here for the fans! Everything we do is centered around getting fans in front of their favorite athletes. This was built by a fan, for the fans. We are passionate about our fans building up their memories and meeting their favorite athletes. We continue to work for you and have many, many exciting things on the horizon!
Enjoy the ride along with us, it has been amazing so far! Thanks for being a part of it!
