Well Most sports stars charge ttm or in person....LoL I think there are many stars Joan Collins for one who has done a few Autograph ahows and charges but TTMs are free. I know before Ginger Rogers died she would charge only 5.00 including the photo and postage but would be free if you send the photo and SASE. Although it aometimes took over a year. I think some people charge just for the simple fact that especially if you are sending to a home address and dont include a SASE and photo thats money out of their pockets and some get hundreds if not more requests a week. That might not be a problem for Brad Pitt....but say someone like Tippi Hedrin, Eva Marie Saint etc.....they might live comfortably but certainly did not make the money the stars of today do. I remember hearing Ginger Rogers say in an interview that whenever a clip of her and Fred was shown or a movie on TV Fred would get residuals but she wouldnt get a dime.....So some of the top box offices names back in the day are not living filthy rich....I know it is hard for some fans to spend money for a signed photo. And what I disagree with is especially the sports stars and other celebs charging too much unless it goes to charity.
I think that is so true fans will buy it and not resell on Ebay etc....as they charge alot more then there worth in some instances.
