- Flats are flat items that are 16 x 20 inches or smaller, such as trading cards, photos, books, magazines, small posters, and pennants

Inscription ticket must be accompanied by an autograph ticket, guests will not add an inscription to a previously signed item
You will always have plenty of time to get all items signed even if multiple players you need are signing at the same time. Players will stay until all items are signed.
Guests are regularly scheduled for overlapping time slots, this does not cause any problem when getting items signed by multiple guests. Tickets for each signing guest are called by number to minimize the time spent waiting in line and our staff is available to assist you if necessary.

Photo Ops are taken by a professional photographer and take place 15-30 minutes prior to the autograph signing time in the Photo Op Booth which is located near near the Autograph Pavilion.
Photo Op price is for one glossy 8×10 print of your photo, additional prints can be purchased from the photographer directly. Up to 5 people can be in a single photo op group.
