From what I understand he's quite a good guy, just doesn't care to sign. Most of the extremely difficult signers seem aloof, combative, or both. From everything I've read and heard it isn't the case with Fritz - although this is all second hand.
My understanding is that since his career ended he has completely objected to signing. Some collectors state that for a period he agreed to signed balls and photos only, but never cards. In three years I've only seen one photo (very questionable) and zero balls. I personally find it extremely hard to believe that he ever signed reliably post career.
