Best/Worst Signers?
There were a TON of former greats that signed at The Nationals this year. I had the experience to see Joe Montana (on video) and Barry Sanders (in person) sign a football. Joe Montana was the least approachable (signed quickly and pushed the ball aside) while Barry Sanders took a lot of time to talk to each person.
As collectors, we pay a LOT of money to get these autographs! Who in your experience is the best or worst signers?

Well my expierence is short as i dont try to get people to sign for me much...
Best signers, Curtis Granderson and Joe Nathan. Always friendly and chatty, willing to talk to anyone and always willing to sign for everyone!
Worst signers- Pudge Rodriguez & Blake Griffin. Pudge never signs and is really unfriendly when he signed at Tigers Fest in 07. Griffin, well you saw him Mike, no time, he just kept his head down signed and that was it, never even looked up at you to acknowledge you were there

Best signers? Will Clark and Mo Vaughn. I was little when I met Mo Vaughn at a car show and he was awesome and signed tons of stuff for me, took pictures, everything. It was great. Will Clark I met at a spring training game and he went from the left field corner down through the infield and out to the right field corner signing everything people had asked for and chatted with everyone. Oh, I can't forget Gabe Kapler, Johnny Pesky or David McCarty either. I met them at Red Sox spring training and they were great.
Worst signers? I've never actually had a real bad experience.

Dale murphy and Evan longoria were the best for me,Dale was having a blast looking at all his old cards and having a blast talking to the fans.Evan signed for me after a game and even though he had all his equipment he took the time to stop and sign.Bruce driver of the devils was the worst for me very stuck up and rude.

Bob Lilly is hands down my favorite, I was waiting in line and the guy in front of me had some old college programs he wated signed. Well ole Bob sat opened them up and was reading his stats and such for a good min or two. I showed him my mini and asked him if he could sign it on the side I wanted it signed and he did, he joked with me about how he sometimes mistakens his NFL #74 with his College number #72 since he switches from the Cowboys mini to the TCU. Very great signer, didnt rush anyone. Thats why I don't mind the wait in line because you know they are taking there time and not just pushing you aside. Drew Pearson is also a very stand up guy talked to him in the mall when he got trough with a signing session. I didnt ask for his auto cause I knew he was doing them for a charity.
I havent really had any bad ones...yet.

I heard Griffin was a great, friendly signer. But some of his "advisers" told him about the "business" side of autographs, etc after he got drafted. So he's not such a great signer any more / already (e.g. not as friendly, won't sign, etc). Heard this from a bunch of autograph hunters.
