I know this promoter and have attended many of his signings, this is the word that sums him up best: IDIOT. The guys is not a grapher, only does this for money, and does not have the first clue when it comes to shapies etc. He has done many quality signings, but still. Same thing happened to me at his Adam Dunn signing, Adam used their shapie and it looked pathetic, I complained, luckily had another photo with me, and got another one signed. So for them to use dried out sharpies is a very regular occurance.
