Nice on the autos and all the RCs. Assuming that was a very EXPENSIVE day for you as well!

Hey....

Thanks guys. I didnt make the National this year so I had plenty of ammo for this one. The Reggie rook is super nice. He was kinda grumpy when he signed though. Seemed like he just wanted to be done. To my surprise Rickey Henderson was very nice. Having kids come around his table for pictures and talking baseball with everyone.

Reggie's always been a ***** and that pic pretty much sums up how he is in person but that's one heck of an autograph lineup. Nice vintage RC pickups too.

I was just reviewing the pics again and noticed that a lot of those signatures, although better than current players for the most part, are fairly sloppy looking for what I have grown to expect from those guys. I was thinking especially Bench and Jackson, as they have had some decent looking signatures in the past. Maybe part of it is age. At least you can tell who signed the ball in all cases at a glance. All but Thomas (and I have never seen a full name signature from him that i can remember) you can see practically every letter of their name, which is nice to see.
