CJ SPILLER IN DALLAS.....

[Leaf]

Does this contract affect his ability to TTM or IP?

I wouldnt count on any success TTM. IP he is signing an abbreviated form of his name often personalized. Definately only signing for kids and obvious collectors.

now that is a double edged sword.... how do you tell obvious collectors in a crowd?

im 6'5 and i have 1000's of ip autos but many of them come with dirty looks and the ebay excuse, even though i keep them all and then you have the kid issue. most dealers bring their kids or their neighbors kids and use them to get autos from the players who mainly sign for kids. i cant even count how many times in the last 2 years alone that dealers end up with more autos than i do, if i even get one from some players.

my main point is with peterson, he signed for many people, including multiples for most of the dealers, yet he gave me dirty looks and refused to sign my item, just because im tall enough to reach over the crowd.

I feel your pain as I am in IP collector too. Problem is the number of ebay guys who are nailing these players everyday. In addition, they are doing large autograph deals $100,000 or more.
If their autograph is valueless due to excessive signing and ebay flooding by dealers, then why would anyone pay them $$$$ to sign.

Bob Feller is a prime example of a guy who can only get $5-10 per signature, who could have gotten $50-80 per, had he not signed every piece of paper on this planet.

But my question is, how is he going to tell the dealers from the collectors? what if someone, who is a collector, doesn't have the money to buy an item from you so he tries to get him IP and gets denied because didn't look like an "obvious collector"?

Thats up to CJ, but I heard on last trip to Buffalo, he only signed for kids, ladies and 3-4 male fans.
Beware buying on ebay, compare our signatures to whats on there and you'll be shocked how terrible items on there are.

i hear you there. i was the second to get him at the combine and got a comparable sig to the ones he did for you guys, but i heard the later ones he signed were just "CJ"

Too bad he is not in my IP area Thanks for the info BG. I was hoping for an 8x10 or two, but looks like that will not happen. Oh well.

We do offer inscriptions and/or p[ersonalizations on any of the items in our ebay store. It is $19.99 additional (per inscription (5 words) or personalization).

Hey Brian,

Could you PM me or post on here the details of how this works? I'd be interested in an inscription at a future signing.
