Behind the scenes at a card signing

Topps posted this picture of players from the Under Armor All American game signing their first Bowman autographs on Instagram earlier. It's kind of a cool pic but does anyone else think it looks like a sweat shop?

Sorry I don't have the picture itself. I'm on my phone,

Looks like a pretty relaxed environment to me. Those guys don't look sweaty at all. Looks like they have some good A.C kickin in that room!

Obviously my seeing what a sweat shop is and your thoughts on what a sweat shop is are two completely different things.

It is a sweat shop with all those kids having to sign all those autographs, so Topps can insert their autograph cards in future product if and when those guys turn pro.

Does anyone know if the kids are compensated or do they just get free cards and basically sign as part of the experience leading up to the game?

Alright, alright. Obviously I was exaggerating when I said sweatshop

According to the players, this is just half of the signing. They have another one after the game for game used stuff and other items. They get 50 cards each,

I bet you just bout damn near everything in that room was made in a sweat shop. The clothes, pens, cardboard boxes, furniture, rugs, drapes, etc.

Maybe if they got a nice fan or a better A.C unit, then they wouldn't be so sweaty!
