Yes they are all jerks and if it wasn't for the rich morons with way too much money that are willing to pay them that price for their autographs maybe their average fans would actually be able to get one from them without paying a full week's salary.
As for The Mick he had to charge a fortune for his autograph so that he could afford his next bottle of liquor to treat his alcoholism.

So if you wanna be cheap, go on ebay and buy an autograph, and then when you pay that person for the item, you can thank them, because of them is why they charge big money. I didnt realize just how ignorant you really were until I read comment about Mick. Oh, and if you wanna not spend a weeks salary on an autograph, get a better job then flipping burgers at McDonalds.

You definitely shouldn't be on this forum thinking like that. You are probably one of those losers that would post a Mickey Mantle signed picture in the for sale section thinking that one of the 13 year olds that make up 90% of the forum population will be willing to buy it off you for $400.
Take your rich fat butt to another place on the internet if you can afford to pay those moronic prices.

lol
$100.00 is a full weeks salary? Where do you live, some third world country in the Middle East?
Since you are probably to young and dumb to remember when Mickey Mantle did charge for his autograph back in the late 80's early 90's.... he was charging about $20.00 an autograph back then. It wasn't until he died and the advent/popularity of the internet, that the value of his autograph sky rocketed.
It's not the fault of the average fan that causes autograph prices to go up... its the dealers and ebayers that have caused this mess.
Your average die hard Cal Ripken fan (or any other sports/celeb fan) will go to a convention and maybe buy 1 or 2 autographs of him at the most.
It's the dealer who will go to these shows, and pay for dozens if not hundreds or Ripken autographs at a bulk/discounted rate, and turn around and sell them in his store/ebay.
