He took some foam board about standard page size and adhered four photo corners for the card/photo to house the card/photo. Easy load and unload,. This way the signer can hold the board and sign with the free hand. No need to find a hard surface or handle the card. You could make a larger board to house more cards.

Since it sounds like you are getting multiples of the same guest. Create a page for each guest and just knockout each guest in one swoop.

Not sure how it is set up. I do know it is at the end of the 2 day contest. So as cool as the thing in the link is it will not work. I am going to have to carry the cards on me all day long or at least most of it. There is a cool strongman expo in the morning and then the contest starts around 1pm with the M&G being around 7pm.

There are 3 days of the strongman expo with the 2 day strongman contest. Hoping between the expo and the M&G to get most/all the guys to sign their card(s).

I am going shopping tomorrow so will see what markers are available here and sacrifice a card for the cause.

Backpacks are not allowed at the event?

No, just clear small bags.

I did find out the Metallic Silver Sharpie isn't an option. It looked horrible when I tried one. Maybe I will grab a paint marker in red and blue and give them a try.

I found an off brand silver pen at a local Micheal's type of store. It blew the silver sharpie out of the water. I will try and find the name of the brand.

I have never used a staedtler but I hear the pens are good.
