One spring training in the early 1990s I helped out a friend of mine and witnessed the signing of 800 cards. This was very early on in the game, so it may be more lax now. Apparently, at least back then, all Topps cards autographed for inserts had to be witnessed by a Topps representative, the player got to keep (I think) 6 cards for himself and even the pens get collected and returned to Topps.
