can anyone tell me how long it would take to hand sign 10,000 pieces? how many would he sign a day, it would seem an im possible task, but i guess nolan was always superhuman.

I'm sure he was paid by the signature.

Probably less than 5 hours

I'd think it takes 5 sec to sign, so say 1 sig per 10 seconds.

Thats 6 sigs a minute

360 an hour. Throw in a few more for time's sake and say 375 an hour.

26.67 hours to sign 10,000 times and that's without taking a break and if theres someone feeding him a new item after every signature. I'm thinking its more of a 2 or 3 day process.

Normally when an athlete signs large quantities of items, they have weeks or months to complete them.

5 seconds maybe with his left hand

sign your name it takes me 2 sec tops, when we have done private signings they can fly through them, usually a team project one person pulls them as they sign them and another keeps the athlete loaded up

2 sec is a bit of a stretch unless its a VERY short name and very plain. Ryan's takes at least 5 sec each to write.

Most promoters allow for 2-3 items for 1,000 pcs for a public signing where someone is feeding the items...
