Looking a little desperate by PM-ing other posters and asking for it. If I'm not certain Cody has had signed inserts in some of the Topps sets that are probably available on eBay.
LOL :P well like I said, I am a big fan! but who knows if they are real or not and I don't want a car. I want this specific picture I have to be signed by him and I want to send him a letter

The signed cards pulled out of the Topps set packs are indeed certified.

Never heard of that at an Interaction on the front end. Two per is the lowest amount I can recall seeing. One per is really at the point where it is insulting to those that pay to get in.

The handler at Van Dam's table was scarred from dealing with a couple of us that morning. No way TNA was going to attempt to enforce a limit on that day after the Sting screwjob.
They tried enforcing the one item per person in Hardy's line towards the end of his session at Lockdown to the point where they got rid of the regular handler at that table and moved a few Atlas guys over there instead. Even then people were walking away with two-per and in my case Jeff signed 3 posters for me (and another for me carried by another one of the guys in our group) and made each signature slightly different with the symbol and his initials or his full name. Had nothing to do with any of 'us' intimidating the guy it was Will blowing him off that shut him up, what's the worst that he could have done? Tell you that's enough and you go back to the end of the line and go through again?

It's more on TNA than it is Sting. At Lockdown 2009 they ran the entire Main Event Mafia together at Fan Interaction excluding Sting, and the next day at the arena the VIP package holders got a private meet & greet with the MEM and that one included Sting. This year at Lockdown they pulled Sting from Fan Interaction and the whole show to make his 'return' before Slammiversary when they went live mean more 'special'. As far as TTM goes, would you want to devote a lot of time personally to random autograph requests that you have no idea the motives behind? It's just a shame that Tristar & TNA continue flooding the market with all these signed cards driving down the value of very autograph he's signed in the past.

On a different subject, when you go to Meet & Greets at Direct Autos do they provide pictures for you? I would also like to know if they can sign more than 1 item.

At Direct Autos, they do provide pictures. If you purchase the backstage TNA MAG, you get pics, too.

Some signings are one item per and others are four or five. It depends greatly on the size of the crowd and line.

Also depends upon who is handling the talent.

Thanks, what about TNA houseshows? How much are the backstage passes for intermission? will those get me into the after show picture in the ring with the wrestler?

When I went to a TNA house show last December in New York, it cost $50 for the backstage pass and that did include the photo op in the ring after the show as well.

TNA fan interactions in the US seem a lot different to the ones we get in the UK. I have been twice and each time the wrestlers have been seated at a long table, security rush you through and the last time they didnt allow any pictures to be taken of you and the wrestler, you had to take a pic whilst they signed :( For £35 I think we deserve better than that

Is wrestling superstore.com a reliable place to purchase autographs from? I had a look through their signed items and most look alright but a fe look a bit "iffy", any ideas?

I'd avoid them. I think their stuff is legit, but the one time I ordered from them, I got a Scott Hall where it was smeared badly and others that I needed to return as well. It cost me more for the shipping and then shipping stuff back than it was worth for the three photos I got that were worth keeping. And come to think of it, they weren't really that great. They also have what appear to be official promos and photofiles, but they're actually reprints/replicas. I don't believe that they advertise them as originals, but they don't indicate that they're replicas either. I called them once about it and they wouldn't answer my question. They finally said something about a photo not being the "original" as though a promo is just one original print and all others are replicas. Kind of shady and I wouldn't buy from them again.

I can give you some sites that I trust if you want them.
