   I heard he told some people that he couldn't sign because he had an   
   exclusivity contract on his sig.  He was only allowed to sign certain   
   things for certain people and not publicly.  I personally think it's   
   the publicly thing they can't control.  That seems like it'd be   
   illegal... I can see topps or upper deck saying in a contractthat he   
   can only sign trading cards or memoribilia (their brands) from their   
   private signings or something and not on the street, but I don't think   
   they can tell him don't sign a plain photo, scrap of paper etc to Joe   
   Blow on the street.
