I've seen him sign for $10 with HOF inscription, but charging me more is a little bit wrong in my book. Still, I'll pay because it's cheaper than many HOFers charge. I am trying to decide on what inscription I would like him to write, either his HOF year or '74 WS MVP. Opinions?

Have him sign, "Sorry I charged you more than everyone else"

Mailed to the Vegas address. Some of you guys dont have to be a**es about it though. I did like the one suggestion, which was all I asked for!Thanks for playing.
All the other harsh comments is why I dont post on here often (and I've had 58 successes since October). If you're feeling froggy, hop away!

Why be irritated and expect money from someone? I'll just use my alternative address and send in $10. Boy, some people can be stinkers on here.

"I'm not looking to pick on you, but if you found his address, and asked how much he charges; he knows you know he charges. If you just sent the ten bucks, instead of being told you now need to pay $5 extra, you would have asigned sweet spot w/ Hall Of Fame inscription. These guys are not stupid, and Rollie is one of the cheapest signatures available. Honestly I don't blame him for being a bit irritated by the whole situation."

What situation? Asking never hurt anyone, from my experience. I asked for an opinion on the inscription, not the opinion on what he wants. Thanks anyway!
