Supposedly a portion of his signing fees go to his foundation. But if the goal was to raise as much money as possible for the foundation, why not sign for $250 a pop and you'd sell at least 5 times as much as at $700 a sig? A much higher revenue overall.

The current prices are at a level that indicates to me he doesn't want to sign at all.
