Very cool story! however i dont think i would have the balls enough to display all those autographs in sunlight like that! those autographs will all be faded in 15-20 years if they are in constant light like that! its like a local restaurant where i live, they have a wall of all signed photos from celebrities that ate at the restaurant. im sure it looked very, very cool back in the 80's-90's when they got them, but not you can barely see the autographs because they are almost all faded from haging on the wall all those years in the light.

Thanks for posting, Richard. Unfortunately, I don't think it's all "good news". I noticed this when the camera panned across (at 2:13)...

"Of the 500 or 600 Williams’ autographs Cugini owns, he estimated about 150 of them he obtained first-hand."
