Your initial post sounds to me like you were using nobody and only after ONYX stepped in and said he's their client did you then work with ONYX for a signing.
Your post again
"Julio Teheran
This is not an actually signing, but as long as he is with the MBraves (the stadium is 10 minutes from my house) I will be able to get things signed by him. He is a great signer and I am will to take items for 10 bucks per item plus return shipping. Just throwing this out there for people who might want him."
Only after they posted did you say you worked out a signing with them in Gwinnett. Just saying, it sounded like you were trying to make money off his autograph without his or ONYX's knowledge is all, which alot of people do on here. I don't fully support but am not 100% against either as I've worked out 2 deals with members because I didn't have anything to 50/50, that's all. But if players who sign freely see that they might be less inclined to sign or gives more power to what the agents feed the players in that we are all trying to make a quick buck and can ruin the hobby.
Look I pay 600 a year in season tickets for the Mississippi Braves so if I was trying to make 60 to 100 of it back, big deal. And yes once ONYX stepped in I was very happy to work a deal out with them. I am never against the players (especially minor league players) making money. My only reason for this signing is to help other people get his autograph and to let me get the enjoyment of hanging out with a pro player. Their is a good chance depending on how far I have to travel that I could barely break even too lose money on this deal. You act like its a crime to take advantage of a situation that will benefit me. I also see Deuce Mcallister quite a bit. He signs stuff for me to sell. I explain to him that's how I get my Ole Miss season tickets. This is not something I do to make a living. I am a married father of 3 and it helps me to support my sports fix, so if your rant was suppose to make me feel bad about this situation sorry it won't work. And most players that sign freely don't really care what you do with the items. Very seldom do people keep 10 to 15 items of the same person without selling them.
