@CHIgrapher, Someone who writes a letter and provides an item/self stamped envelope is not a freeloader. They are putting their time and money into it, and are just requesting a signature in return. If someone chooses to charge and someone wants to pay, fine, but its not freeloading to send TTM the correct way. I dont feel a celeb owes us anything and they have a right to do as they choose, but charging people that are 95%+ of the time lots less well off then you to write on a piece of paper/photo/index card, etc. outside of a convention is bogus. Its not freeloading to not want to pay a celeb who has lots more then you ever will generally upwards of 50+ sometimes for a signature, when you put lots of time into your request and are a genuine fan that has enjoyed/paid for much of their work in the past. Sorry to hear about Bakers health though, I always liked him.
@OP, Sorry for your failure.
