George Foreman is a good example of someone who doesn't want greedy people to just turn around and sell but still wants his fans to have his autograph.

He has an address you can send in your own photo, or request a photo that he provides, to be autographed. He marks down your name and address and tries to limit the autographs to one per person. He generally only signs with a personalization. It's a compromise so people who are his fans get an autograph that says "To bob," but if bob's a fan and isnt looking to resell it, i dont think bob minds. If foreman is out in public he personalizes also, but he signs when he can he just says that it has to be personalized and he does it in a nice way.

i dont know of anyone who is disgusted at george foreman for doing it this way, and i have never heard from someone who has criticized Foreman for being a jerk about signing autographs. He reads and answers his own emails from fans too.
