If a fan has 1-2 things that seems okay, but I see alot of people posting that they got so and so to sign 10 cards, 8 magazines, 8 action figures etc...That ruins the hobby for those of us whom are respectful, because when a person crams that much junk infront of a talent its no wonder they quit signing for anyone or think that everyone is a low level ebay dealer just using them for profit. People should only stick to 1-2 things per talent unless you are paying for more at a convention or something.
I'm sorry, should I bother to go and find your post following Lockdown where you mention walking down the halls of the section of the hotel where the wrestlers were staying and found Mickie James? Let's get one thing straight here jack, I presented most of the talent with a few items most of them were initially photo ops with the talent and an 8x10 on one page and cards on the next, and I also told them that I would be happy if they just signed any one or two.
Bobby Roode was actually impressed by my presentation and took the book from me and signed everything, Christy and I had a brief discussion about the many of the cards I had because a few of them were short print and some of them were imports from Italy and Germany during which she signed, Tara remembered a photo that I asked her to sign from a show a few years back and after signing that she asked me if there was anything else I needed signed and signed most of the cards despite me telling her that I was going to the Direct Auto signing and that I would get them done there. It wasn't just a take, take, take kinda day either, I presented Austin Aries and James Storm each with a hell of a good bottle of Jose Cuervo as a souvenir, and Aries was the guy that at the meet and greet that told the wrestlers beside him to take care of me because their drinks for the night were on me.
The only person that had a problem with signing was Chavo Guerrero and I only had 1 photo and three cards of him. When he saw me at the meet and greet he said, 'What's up eBay?' With a smug look on his face. That shit disappeared real quick when I told him I would sell on ebay but his autograph sells as well as John Cena in the ring.
