I had no idea he had signed them for charity only. I just grabbed a card and got in line. We never had him back at a show after that.
I hate Steve "Never Getting in the HOF" Garvey

This is an interesting anecdote. Why the F would Garvey tell that to a then 10 year old kid? Did he expect that everybody should know that he doesn't sign '82 Fleers?? I've been collecting for decades and I wasn't aware of it until now...so, I'm wondering why he would be such a dck to a kid.
