I totally agree. Both of them were very meticulous. I had heard bad thinks about Reggie being unfriendly. He was quite the opposite with me. When I handed him the bat he held it in his hands and commented to his assistant that it was the real deal he said it was a gamer. He stood and took a little swing with it and said. "Wow this one feels so right". He smiled and asked me where I got it. He signed it and then rolled back and forth on the table before handed it back to me. He shook my hand and was delightful. It was interesting watching him admire the bat like a craftsman. I suppose that is what makes bat collecting so enticing. He certainly was not the ogre I have always been told he was.
