The show promoter at a 2000 show had worked closely with an authenticating firm and items that could be authenticated (for a fee) were marked as signers finished signing. Mays was not down with that and he exploded and told everyone to get the hell away from him.

On another story, I was introduced to Hank Aaron at a show by the promoter. He did 100 pieces for me ($18 a pop...1993) and he put out a limp hand shake and ignored me. BUT a few minutes later, he was in ANOTHER room signing bats only for $100. He couldn't have been nicer. Goes with what above says. $18, you get wet salmon...$100, jovial and chatty.
