i'm not speaking for brady...but jordan signs for free every year at his golf charity event, and all his friends like gretzky, barkley, lemieux, etc. they do give back, and these "fans" would hound them at every hole and put out 50 cards/jersey/8x10s/balls for them to sign...then turn around and submit the stuff to psa/dna and then up on ebay. some athletes are going as far as not signing their rookie cards anymore, and i don't blame them.
as far as i'm concerned they don't owe the fans anything. they're the very best at what they do, they make their bosses alot of money and got paid for that service. and nobody turns down money, if there's a demand for your signature at $1000, why should you settle for $100 and leave money on the table? we're not communist russia.
