I met Hammerin' Hank in 2013. He was gracious and friendly. He is getting older, and it is clearly more difficult than ever for him to handle public appearances.
That said, I have participated in Aaron private signings. I believe it is worth the money. Your items turn out extraordinarily well done.
I also chuckle when people complain about the fees athletes charge for autographs. The market drives fees; the egos of athletes do not. The minute someone won't pay a certain price for an autograph, it will be reduced. For example, I have noticed that Jim Brown in person autograph signings fees are coming down a bit.
