There needs to be special notation:

Michael Vick will not be signing rape stands at this event.

hehe, there is a show in Chattanooga with a 10.00 signer,some HOF footballer I have never heard of, on that weekend,that's more my speed

I hope you guys do better than breaking even there in Atlanta, I really do. WOuld be nice to see someone climb on top of the pile in this market.

There are some free autographs as well.

Pumped about those. Will probably get them on an OMLB.

Psyched about Delgado and Tehran too.

BG said something about possible NFL first round picks being there... Is this still the case?

I didn't even think to look up here. This is great.

I think when you start compiling that many stars, it costs money.

As for paying deadspin, the manufacturers should be doing that for the communities that are willing to put their neck on the line. Converting a "I want michael vick's autograph" type fan into a "i want mike vick's rookie card too!" type of fan is a huge deal.

If you have beef w/ paid advertising, you've clearly never stuck your neck out.

payola is an acceptable way to get things done. As long as you are honest, theres nothing wrong with it.

Those are some pricey figures for autographs.

Agree.

Can't see the typical Michael Vick fan dropping $90 for an auto

You'd think theyd want to get the guys to sign as cheaply as possible to bring in more foot traffic...

Under 100 for an autograph of a big current star is cheap, I don't know how many shows you go to, but that is cheap for shows I have been to. Almost any current Red Sox member costs at least 80 dollars at Boston shows.

Twinsfest, Mauer and Thome, $15 each

But I know you mean, you go to any truly big card show and you are looking at $100ish minimum for stars.

Word. I don't think you have to be honest about it. You can say whatever the hell you want. The outlet, in this case deadspin, should be honest about it. Mind you, ten minutes watching the local news throw to a national reporter that's talking about "SAMSUNGS NEW HD TV BEATS THE COMPETITION in NEW STUDY" is always paid and they never say anything...

Heck, Im sure free isnt cheap enough for some guys on the boards....
Heck, they'd probbaly complain that Pujols isnt signing for free too....

Just kidding, ... This is a hobby, be positive guys!!!!!!!....
The show is financially viable before we even open the doors...
We just want to make sure our dealers succeed.

I wrote,edited,wrote,edited and just blew it all off.

Ricky Bobby ! " But I said "With all due respect" !" sounds an awful lot like " I said I was just kidding"

This could be huge for the site. I can't wait to see how it all pans out.
