You are obviously free to charge whatever you think is fair and whatever the others are willing to pay. I respect you on these boards, and I know a time or 2 you haven't called me out on controversial things, so I really think gouge was too strong a word for me to use.
I'm just saying that I would feel bad charging much for a free signing.

no probem, guess it really depends on the athlete and how difficult they are to get signed. Like if sandy koufax was doing a signing (
) people are going to pay more to get their item done by somone in the area because of how unoften they sign.
I hope this thread doesn't get too of topic because I was hoping to see what kind of prices you guys would pay...

I don't pay for autos, so I'm the wrong guy to ask.

Again, if you are going to a free signing, and you are offering to take something for someone, I wouldn't give you more than $5. You are not putting forth any effort besides luck of your geography and the signing. If you were going to go to a stadium where a player was rumored to be, and were going to stand in the parking lot trying to get him, and fight through people to get my item signed, then, I would pay you more. If the guy is doing a paid signing at a show, I would rather pay the mail order price than pay you a huge additional fee to go there. Best of luck to you on your pricing, I'm sorry if you think this is your ticket to make a ton of money from people on these boards.

good luck trying to get other people to get your items of big-ticket guys done for $5 or less...
and no, this isn't some easy sit down free appearance....but you can keep racking those.Last edited by TTMcardMaster; 05-08-2011 at 05:55 PM.

Aren't you the one who offered to get me a Ryne Sandburg signed card, from his current minor league coaching coach, for over $20? I mean seriously, the guy signs for free at every stadium, and I got him when he was coaching the Iowa Cubs, why in the world would I pay you? And again, Gossage, signs for a fee every time through the mail, as well as some of the others. What are you offering that makes it a better deal? You know, I will continue to get my autographs the way I do, I'm darn good at it, and have quite the collection. And since I have been able to get star players like Noah and Derrick Rose, Brian Urlacher, Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, and many others for free, I think I am doing just fine.

You'd be surprised at what people offer to get that superstar autograph. Believe it or not, not everyone is smack down in the middle of a major US city and some others aren't near any sporting teams. So what if they want a certain auto that doesn't sign ttm?

Just my 2 cents.. I wouldnt be aposed to throwing $15-20 in an envelope for Joe Morgan with a ROMLB to be signed. He's kinda tough & a great HOFer to get. $25 with a Picture of the signing..
as for the rest, Besides Dye who i have no idea of his signing habits, the rest i can get TTM for there own fee so i probably wouldn't pay much more then there regular signing fee, Unless, it included a picture of him signing the item. then it would be worth it IMO.
