Obviously his opinions have changed over time since the mid 80s. He told me the same thing about "the little kids" and the dealers (and it was obvious) when I asked him to PLEASE not smudge his signature! I had three others that each had a distinct thumb-rub, and he told me he did that to retard resale. He smudged that one, but the next time he obliged me after I told him I gave the others away, which was true.

The timeframe above for reference is 5 balls for 20 attempts at the ballpark after games.
