I am sure you can get multiple items signed, but you will likely have to pay for each of them.
I would go with top loaders.
Sharpie is still really good for autographs.

I’ve never been to one of these things before… I’m an on-and-off collector (mostly off) but I have a few questions I’m hoping you can answer for me!

- How much do the athletes charge for autographs? (I’m assuming it varies but a range would be nice)

- Will they sign multiple cards/items?

- What’s the best way to carry my cards around… in top loaders? in an album?

- Is a Sharpie still the best autograph pen or should I bring something else?

If you could answer any (hopefully all) of my questions I’d really appreciate it!! Feel free to email me directly if you don’t feel it belongs in this comment space.

Thanks,
Michael

We’re going to be at the National also, we’ll be at booth #1041 in the corporate area. We’ll have our buyer there with a bunch of cash buying cards and memorabilia and we’ll be bringing in a ton of unopened boxes. I’m sure you won’t miss us. Stop by and say hi to the guy wearing the bluetooth, that’s Adam.
