It looks like you're the one missing the point. First off, I am a FAN of certain players, and I would/and have paid for their autographs, and would do it anyday of the week. Just because I have paid doesnt make me a collector, and I would never pay for an autograph unless I watched them sign it. Yeah you can buy them cheaper most of the time from a on line or from a card dealer, but there is also a good chance it could be fake.
Now as for the Nature Boy charging, let me start by saying that if you don't wanna spend the money then don't call this a FAIL, call it YOU DONT WANT TO SPEND MONEY ON SOMETHING, and that is your choice if you pay of not. That just shows how much you do or dont want it. With the way people send to these guys over and over and then sell the autographs for money, why shouldnt they be able to charge for an autograph. Why should he have busted his butt for all these years making a name for himself inside the ring, just for someone else to seel his autograph to others for money and then THEY pocket the money. Thats fair for Ric? The correct answer is NO. Thats why he charges. You can thank those people for why you have to pay him to sign something. And NO, he doesnt make millions and millions, as he has 3 or 4 ex wives, and they get a good chunk of his money. All I can say is thank god I'm gonna meet him in July and get his autograph for free when he is inducted into the professional wrestling hall of fame..
Just curious, are you new to this hobby? I ask because 30 bucks is not alot of money for an autograph. I paid 375 to meet Ali and get a signed 16x20 photo at his last public autograph signing ever. So yeah, 30 is cheap.
