Buckeye Autograph Sessions (all merged)

Not open for further replies.
The line was HUGE.. and the guys were approx 25 mins late!! Aren't they always late? And we went thru the first 50-100 people before we got anything signed for ourselves.
Good deal, we thought that was the case, but no one saw them come in so you know how assumptions start to fly. I agree with you on the on time part, but not much anyone can control there...


Now, As for the checkout line... The credit card machine was the devil!! so after we realized that was the problem we created a cash only line.... the two lines merge together then moved so much faster.
Interesting to see how that worked....next time I'll bring cash if it's two separate lines.


As for allowing you the customer to come in and purchase your items and tickets early.... The mall managment wouldn't allow us to create two lines in the mall... It wasn't a winning situation when you have the mall working against you aswell. We have already made up our minds that there will be two lines and two lines for cash and a credit card at the upcoming signing.
Guess it depends what you call a separate line...My suggestion would be to simply have customers go into the store right when they get there (before getting in line, or as one of their party waits in line) and make them purchase the autographs and items then. You won't get every purchase done prior to the signing, but you can get a very good % of them taken care of. Once you make your purchase, then get in line in the mall. Just something to consider. The line will then fly at the start as all you have to do is have the customers get the item ready and run them through the line.

Still people didn't pay attention to the announcements that no photos and posing!! This is called an Autograph signing... not a photo shoot!! I had no problem with taking photos after you got your items taken care of out of the way... not at all!! Everything you mentioned will be corrected but I bet you 10 bucks the players will still be late..... But god forbid they get criticized!!
I don't make the rules on this website, I just try to be p/c :wink: As far as the photo's, I never take photo's, but know many like to, but to be honest, at the start there would have been plenty of time.....no matter how many times you say it, you have to know people will.


And to answer your question about if we made it thru everyone... After realizing that the c/c machine was holding up the line... We added another hour to our signing to accommodate everyone!! You won't get that anywhere else. But lets not mention anyones name!! Atleast we didn't stop the line to get our 4 cases of mini helmets signed!!
Great job!! That's cool to add the hour and for the players (who were late to begin with) to stay as well.

Thanks for the response, and good luck with the future signings, I'll likely be there for Wells if the date works. Hopefully it's someone other than Jenkins with him as I already have him :wink:

Thanks Miller_Time,
I do appreciate the suggestions for the line and your interest in making it go smoother.... trust me when the lag in the line started to hold up everyone I stood up from the table with the guys and started a cash only line. It was the lack of communication with one another about the issue they were having!! But Communication is key in any successful event such as this.
We will have it "hopefully" bulletproof going into the next one!!

Very true, but I'm picky... When Whitner worn #9, the jerseys were still the old style (Thicker grey and Red Shoulders, diferent cut), so I need him to sign one of those which would be AWESOME because i cant find an old style #9 to save my life!!!
Ive' got a free stiched hartline sitting around the house, so it's either him or Robert Rose....

I'd wait and try to get Whitner to sign that #9.

great turnout in Findlay today for JL. Got to meet the man, myth, and legend HAYN Buckeye. He's an awesome man with kick butt photos. Even got to meet JL's mom because of him. Honestly, if you want the best quality pics at great prices get with him. I got a pic of James that he'd never even seen before and he took time to comment on it and talk to me about it.
They did announce that Beanie will be in Toledo on Feb 7th 25 bucks a signature
