I dont think a player owes us anything. I consider myself an huge autograph collector and have been turned down by Hendrick, Jeff Leonard multiple times, Joel Youngblood and have been given attitude by players of even less ability, but they owe me nothing. If the market will allow Marshall the opportunity to charge $150, then so be it. Many people went ot autograph shows in the 90's thinking that all of these autographs were going to be their retirement. Nope. I need Marshall on 2 sets(69 and 76 topps) but willwait it out or pay for a signing. Its up to me if it is worth it or not. Mr Marshall has probably been bothered so often that he caved at a crazy price and we are willing to pay it. Also, good for him making money where people will be putting many of these on ebay anyways.
