The fees are determined by the promoter, not the athlete. The athlete wants a certain amount and could care less what the promoter charges. The athletes ego is usually in line with the market. The promoter’s on the other hand. They usually try to get the public to pay for the entire fee then get hundreds of items signed for themselves or others at a greatly reduced rate.

If anyone "desreves" their fee, I'd put Hank right up there.

It may have been a bad day for Hank (a worse one for me) but in 1967 I went down to the Roosevelt Hotel where the Braves stayed when in NYC to play the Mets. I was a big Braves fan and was getting autographs in an autograph book. I saw Hank outside the hotel and nervously approached him and said "Mr Aaron, can you be sign my book". I do not remeber how he looked at me but he said "Go play in the traffic son" and walked away and I was crushed. AS a result I always have a hard time when folks say what a great guy he is. But again maybe he was having a bad day?

Interesting. The first in person autographs I got were in 1966 at the Commodore Hotel. Bob Gibson and Curt Flood.
