wow, I'm all happy I got it back and BHF comes in and poops in my cheerios... http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/eyes.gif Yes, had he waited a few seconds, it wouldn't have smudged, however, I am just grateful that he signed it at all. For me it isn't it's future value, it is the fact that the guy took time from his day and signed it for me, that is what is cool to me. I can deal with the smudge, he signed it, and that is what I wanted. There is no way these guys load them up too soon on purpose, why bother to take the time to sign at all if they want to wreck it. He could have just as easily tossed it into the garbage and never had to worry about it again, instead, he opened it, removed it from the top-loader, signed it, took the time to put it back in the top-loader, put it in the bubble wrap envelope and sealed it, then dropped it in the mail. Thanks Prince and Ryan!
