State Farm's display at the Auto Show this weekend will have Frank Thomas. I think it's Saturday from 2-3:30. They've brought in Sandberg and Bill Walton in the past with no autograph restrictions on items. Not sure if Frank would have any

I will be attending this with fingers crossed.......Frank was just at SoxFest and they enforced the pre printed photo only rule however I know that Frank signed for more than a few people (any item) after one of his seminars during the Fest....so not sure what to expect here.
Like I said fingers crossed. I heard that last year Forte was there and they were saying that he would only be signing a pre print card, but then again Matt Forte is not Frank Thomas

I wish there was a way to call and figure these things out. They are having Kane and Toews together one day at the Auto Show. If it was any item I would easily go down there when it opened and get something signed. I guess we have no way of knowing except exchanging a bunch of emails with corporate who will have no clue at all

I would be shocked if they dont announce that Frank is only able to sign pre printed cards----the question will be if that policy holds up or not.......

I emailed the auto show people trying to get a definite answer on this. I will post what I get back. I also find it hard to believe Frank will sign any item, but they had Ryne Sandberg 2 years ago and Forte last year and both signed outside items. So it is possible. And I got the same email, all the blackhawks at the chevy display are signing the 5x7 promo cards.
At the State Farm booth at the 2010 All-Star Fan Fest, players [i.e. Tony Gwynn] were only signing a glossy 8x10 with the State Farm logo - wouldn't be surprised if they are having Thomas sign a similar glossy 8x10.

Gun to my head I'd say that there will be no restrictions other than 1 per. That's based on how State Farm handled their last few signers, but I think it's really up to player/agent> Even at these events the staff is usually clueless so nobody may know until nearly 2 pm
