I'm not an autograph collector but in December 2019 there was a "buying extravaganza" at a casino close to where we live and Gooden, Ed Kranepool and Ron Swoboda were there signing autographs.
It was actually my wife (Yankee fan) that saw the add in a local paper and talked me (Met fan) into going and I was glad we did.
I don't know if it was poor advertising, the time of year, the fact that they were only buying or a combination
but only a few people showed up and by a few I'm talking maybe 10 people in the hour or more that we were there.
There was a small buffet with bagels, desserts and coffee set up and the three of them were at a cafeteria style table for the signing.
Since it was so slow my wife and I grabbed coffee and sat right across from them and chatted with them for at least 45 minutes.
All three were very pleasant but I'm sure that they were probably bored out of there minds I think two other people stopped for autographs while we were there.
