Ballplayers of today make too much money to sit at a card show for peanuts. I remember stories of Bob Feller paying for his vacations by signing at shows or stadiums along the route of his trip and he charged around $5. With the millions today’s stars make, how much will it take to get them to sign for an hour or two. I would have to think 10’s of thousands or more. They don’t need the money, so why do it. Pete Rose, he will probably be signing for $35 for the rest of his life in Vegas and other shows that will have him. I have always wondered why the older players don’t do more private signings for $5 to $10 bucks a pop. Or do local shows where they could chat with fans. I think they could make good money as well as reconnect with baseball fans.
