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.

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>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! >>

Wow! I only paid $150 for mine...
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.
