I was reading online with amusement some of the stipulations of what can and cannot be signed or inscribed by the autograph guests at this year's National. Lynn Swann's took the cake.
-Will not sign trading cards or or unlicensed photos.
-Lynn reserves the right to reject any item.
-Will not sign unsinged or single signed jerseys or jersey numbers and will only sign jerseys with 2 or more signatures already on the jersey.
His auto, at a minimum of $199, is also the most expensive auto of all the guests. ($30 more then even Joe Montana's.) Is he just a really stingy signer outside of shows or is there something else I'm missing?

I was also wondering do the players get the whole amount $$ or does some of it go to the promoters?
My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

<< <i>......do the players get the whole amount $$ or does some of it go to the promoters? >>
I could be wrong but I think the player charges the promoter a flat fee for his appearance, and then the promoter sets the price per item.
<< <i>Are there any other players from any sport who refuse to sign trading cards? Seems like a weird thing to refuse to sign. >>
Art Monk refuses to sign his rookie card

Red only.
Personally, I think that he is a primadonna but he is free to dictate the rules as he chooses (because people, like myself, will continue to pay for his autograph).

Not much humility there - guys like Swan should be happy there's a way to make some coin as a retired player.
Still my all-time favorite is Willie Mays.

a very gracious person. Maybe it was because I did not hound him for an auto and simply said 'hello lynn'?

for folks to get in person sigs.
He is apparently reluctant to decline autos while campaigning,
as there have been quite a few political flyers and brochures signed
by him for sale on EBAY.
He is rumored to still be considering a second try in the 2010 race for
the Pennsylvania Governor's office.
I like your new icon.
I have an accumulation of more than 100 different circa 1990s baseball cards that have the player on front pictured blowing bubblegum.
