Best experience - Warren Spahn was doing a promotion for Target in the early 90's and was at a local store. They had promotional photos with the target logo that he was supposed to sign but when I brought my 53 Topps Archive card he insisted on signing that and telling me about the Braves move from Boston. He shook my hand before I joined the group of people standing around the signing table who were listening to him tell baseball stories. Another Spahn story came from a friend who grew up near County stadium in Milwaukee and said it was not unusual for Spahn to stop at the park after day games and play ball with the kids in the local park. One of the all time greats for sure.

Worst experience - For about $30 Sterling Sharpe scribbled something on my football and never even looked at me. This was after listening to him berate a fan for supposedly getting some silver sharpie on his leather jacket.
