I remember running card shows in the early to mid '90's in the Chicago area and I had Andy Pafko as an autograph guest. As the line of autograph seekers filed past Mr. Pafko, a twenty-something collector plopped down a '52 Pafko he wanted signed.
We all tried to talk him out of it.
The autograph will devalue a big dollar card we told him.
He is going to regret getting that card signed we told him.
Mr. Pafko tried to talk him out of it.
The collector persisted he wanted his card signed. I looked at Andy and he looked at me, shrugged his shoulders and put his autograph on the card.
As soon as the sharpie hit the cardboard, the whole room groaned!!
