A lot of people also want stuff signed, look at billyhallfan he has a ton of Bill Hall stuff signed, and probably got some of it at the free signnings, but he still when to Jeff's to get stuff signed. i'm by not means bashing people for paying for autographs..to each their own..I live pretty far away, never paid for an autograph and have probably 15 Bill Hall autographs..Billyhallfan has a game used Jersey and Helmet I believe..those two Items I would probably pay to get signed because they are awesome Items and would want a perfect autograph on them..but to get a picture of a ball signed, Id pass on it.. but like you and I have discussed, if you have troubles getting to games early, or to autograph fridays, then these sessions where you pay $25 for is perfect for you. and a lot of times I question myself for collecting autographs..They aren't rare anymore, you can get one at any time from just about any player...but yet, I get in long lines waiting for a guy to put his sig on a picture or ball...weird
