Has anyone had success receiving a auto direct from hank Aaron when sending him a letter? I recently sent him one last week and wanted to know if he's good at responding or if it was a waste of time

You will get a preprint or nothing. Always been a terrible signer, and just did a rare public signing where prices started at 299.

I doubt he signs through the mail, especially in the past 20 years. I sent him something in the mid 1980s....it took about a year to get it back and I think it was a secretarial.

$299.00 for his autograph? WOW! I remember in the early 1980's when you could take your kid to a card show and for 5 bucks get a signed picture and have a conversation with the athlete. My son and I got to meet Duke Snider, Bob Feller, Maury Wills, Hank Aaron, Willie McCovey, Steve Sax, Muhammad Ali, among others and took pictures of it. Great times gone. I hear Mays charges for extra for anything other than his name and it is hard to read at that. Wish I had gone to more shows back when.

At the 2011 National, I was a little tempted to get an auto from Wade Boggs, who I loved watching when I was younger. I believe the price for an auto was $50 or $60. Funny enough, at the table right by the entrance to where you go to get autos, there was a dealer who had a really nice 1980s Boggs card signed and slabbed by PSA/DNA...for $10. I bought that one and moved on... (And later I learned that Boggs signs TTM for under $20 anyhow!!!) Sorry for the thread drift... Cheers, Blair

I am an Aaron fan/collector and I wouldn't pay $299 and up for a signature. I got mine quite a while ago at a show for under 10% of that:

I was able to pick up a Steiner Aaron for under $100 off eBay. I also snagged this card for about $100. His material has really been going up in price lately though.

I know an actor who always keeps some of the photos that people send him to sign. He considers it a tax.

Show prices typically only make sense if you need someone added to a specific item or want the photo op. I don't see why anyone pays show prices for single signed balls or other generic items.
