Again they are all very good signers, as long as you dont look like you will get the auto and put it on EBay as soon as you get home. Most of my multiples were baseball cards, or getting something for a friend signed.
No offense, but someone who gets 4 Votto autographs gives off the impression of putting 'em on ebay as soon as you get home.
Nice collection, jpochard. It's always fun to get something signed that has a personal touch to it. I think the players appreciate it as well, since they know it's being collected for sentimental, and not monetary, value.
When I lived back east, I went to Cooperstown every year to the HOF induction ceremonies. One year I was walking around and noticed Robin Roberts walking with his wife toward the Otesaga Hotel. I noticed he politely turned down a few autograph requests, but I had an 8x10 of the two of us taken in Clearwater, FL, at a spring training game from earlier that year. I caught up to him and said, "Mr. Roberts, I have an photo of the two of us from Clearwater and I'd be honored if you would sign it for me." He stopped and I handed him the photo, and I thanked him after he signed it. If I had a HOF postcard or a ball for him to sign, I doubt he would have stopped for me.
