    Those two would have to pay me to meet them.

    I would spend the money on a Campanella autograph, and tickets to a ballgame with old friends; people who I actually care about what they have to say.

    Hmmmmmmm - NO


  • Spending $7,500 bucks on Ryan Leaf 2nd. year cards would be more rewarding to me than that stupid experience.
    Culpepper to ?, only God knows at this point!
  • I would buy $7500 worth of Pro graded 10s before I would ever pay to see those two.

    Lady - "Hello, we received your payment awhile back, but unfortunately the Signing Event has been cancelled".

    Fan - "Why?"

    Lady - "Well, both Arod and Barry are meeting Tiger Woods in the Caribbean: They both have a $1M bet that Tiger can't hole out a baseball with a 3 iron the length of his yacht, which is 155'."

    Fan - "That sucks! I've already made arrangements so I could go." (pause)

    Fan - "Ok then, I want a full refund of $7500."

    Lady - "I'm sorry, but that's not possible."

    Fan - "Look Lady, I want a refund and I want it now!!!"

    Lady - "I'm sorry, but there were no provisions in place if the event does not happen. Nowhere does it say about a refund if the event is cancelled". Again I'm sorry".

    Fan - "I'll sue then!"

    Lady - "I'm sorry, Arod already owns Mark Geragos and Barry owns the credit card company you made payment with.........again I'm sorry".

    I would only go if in addition to the aforementioned items, they had one of those carnival deals where you get three chances to throw a ball, hit the target, and Bonds gets dumped in a big vat of earthworms.
    Proud of my 16x20 autographed and framed collection - all signed in person. Not big on modern - I'm stuck in the past!

    This is Svetlena from Odessa, Ukraine


    << <i>Interests:
    Since I love to get new knowledge I like to learn foreign languages and cultures. I like English, Italian ones and would like to improve the level of their knowledge. Also I would like to learn Greek as this language is the language of my direct ancestors. I like drawing and mostly I devote it to the model design of attire. I hope one day my nature talent will find the way for fulfillment and my dreams is to find some schmuck who is stupid enough to part with 7500 bucks to see Arod and Bonds....I see a Mercedes 500S and a trip to the Carribean in my future! >>

  • What a joke! This is a disgrace, they ought to do it for free for the fans. Don't PAYROD and Bonds make enough. As for Bonds, I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire. Disgusting state of affairs in professional sports, it makes me sick.

  • Geez Stone, if Svetlena's dream is to find some shmuck willing to spend $7500 bucks to see Arod & Bond's, Then I guess I'm gonna be seeing Arod & Bond's. Anybody got $7500 bucks I can borrow?imageimage

  • Raymond -

    Nice picture, thanks for sharing. I hope my autograph won't cost 7500. Someday I hope to have one from his playing days, which can go for 4 figures.

    I saw something similar at the national with one of our boardmembers over the disapearing act of Mike Schmidt during his signing and the guy just wanting a refund.
