Whilst I agree that it's a shame for his fans, and also that $200 is crazy money, I don't understand why people think that any actor/singer/whoever owes them anything. I mean, sure, $200 is a lot, but he's an old man, who hasn't made a film for years and was at his peak when movies were hardly paying the money they are today, and he probably wants to add to his families nest-egg for when he's gone, so if people are willing to pay that money, why not make it for a while? He's been a brilliant signer for years, totally for free, as hundreds upon hundreds of people have sent him multiple items to sign (vast amounts of which have then been sold on for good money). It's a cold hard fact, but it's true sadly.
Can I just say, this isn't a pop at anyone or anything, I guess just thinking out loud why he'd do this now.
