It's all good in the end. I'm glad he's still out making the rounds.
I'm not sure why you want to argue his age correlating to the no photo policy. Yes, I know Stan is very old. I appreciate he is willingly to do these things and be active at his age. It is truly a testament to how much energy he has. It's more energy than I have! If you read my first post I also said he seemed nice and thanked us.
It just does not excuse handlers not allowing you to take photos of him signing things you
paid
to get signed, because their only goal is to
force
you to get the item graded thru their service for proof. I literally had someone SCREAM in my face when I just had my camera in my hand,
lens cap on
? I mean I'm a grown man. You don't scream at me. Try that on the street and see how I respond when there are not a bunch of little kids around.
That's the point I am trying to make, and you seem to be taking it as an attack on Stan. It's not. But he agreed to the terms, so he has to have some awareness and accountability. He's still very sharp as can be witnessed by his interviews and movie appearances, so he knows what they are doing. My gripe was with the no photos of him signing setup. Not handing him/touching him deal is weird too but whatever, he's older so that's fine.
I'll just close with this because I'm not trying to really debate this anymore, I am a much bigger sports fan than comics/toys fan. I have met Pro athletes all my life at shows and some were pretty legendary and older. None had handlers scream at me for thinking of a photo of the player. Most players honestly (especially the older ones) WELCOME photos with them, not just photos of them signing. Now how many of them were 90? None I gather. But many were in their 70s and 80s. 'Nuff said.
