Did Jayce Tingler's auto change as he signed?? when he signed about 10 or so for me -- the first one was beautiful (every letter almost) and the second was good but not as nice -- the rest were mostly J_ T_g_. I even asked him during number five or so "what happened to your autograph?" AFTER remarking that he had a great auto on the first one. He just signed the first one or two really nice and the rest a shortened version.

I EVEN gave him one card that he requested....anyways...just curious

BTW - congrats on getting the Andrade card signed (he wouldn't sign it in the Fall League)

Iowa at Fresno (all pregame)

Buck Coats 5/5
Mike Fontenot 7/7
Casey McGehee 7/7
Felix Pie 8/8
Luis Montanez 8/12 They were all different but it looked like he thought parallels were doubles
Mike Restovich 4/4
Jerome Williams 13/13

Didn't see Deardorff or Guzman. Everyone else I've either seen tons of times or had no cards of.

sMatt

Tingler's autograph looked about the same as his Bowman autograph on all of mine, I can't tell which ones I got first but they all look about the same.

Patrick Reilly 1/1
Mike Pete 1/1
Fernando Rodriguez 5/5
Freddy Sandoval 6/6 Just got finished signing then asked me if I had anything, when I said yes, he smiled and said "cool!" It'd be easy if every player was like him
Nate Sutton 3/3
Joe Torres 6/6

Good job getting Jepsen 8/8. He normally signs 4/8 for me. And yes, Sandoval is one of the nicest in the league.

That's my second time getting Jepsen and he's done 8/8 both times now, I guess I've just caught him at the right times.

Emilio Bonafacio 4/4
Brandon Burgess 6/6
Derek Bruce 1/1
Brett Butler 6/6

Cesar Nicolas 2/2
Jereme Milons 8/8 Took him 10 seconds to sign them all but I dont think they look bad
Chris Rahl 1/1
Mark Reynolds 3/3
Rusty Ryal 1/1

Kazuhito Tadano 4/6 I was shocked, he had always been a strict 1 before but was really cool today. I don't know if he has changed or if it's because no one else was asking and he's not even on the roster yet.

baseball doc

Tadano is with Stockton??? Is this another one of those Stockton to Sacramento shuffling that the A's like to do (like Nate Espy, Kyle Crowell, Adam Johnson, David Castillo, and Marcus McBeth)??

Thanks for the up and down the coast info dude

sMatt

I'm not sure what's going on, he's not on the roster and he hasn't pitched there. Seems weird to have him in uniform just to sit and watch games. I was going to ask him what the plan with him being there is but I didn't really want to distract him since he was signing so much more than usual.

Orlando Cepeda was a guest signer at the game. Didn't sign any cards (claims he cant because of some contract with Upper Deck) and didn't look like he wanted to be there at all. Signed one each time through the line so I got him twice.

neil07carrier

Did he sign Upper Deck cards? Or was it just no cards? I got him at FanFest last year and he was not the nicest guy I've ever met to put it nicely. His autograph was usually every letter but he signed everything O-- Cep-- at FanFest. How was his autograph there?

sMatt

No cards at all, didn't matter what they were. I asked if he signed cards for donation to charities or anything like that and he angrily yelled "no!" but in his defense, I didn't really get the impression that he's all there upstairs.
His autograph at this signing was just O C so I'd say you're lucky to get what you did.
