I know this is a baseball discussion, but two others that have to be near the top are Arnold Palmer and Richard Petty. Both signed (or in Petty's case, are still signing) for over 60 years and were known for never refusing an autograph request.
I read Chris Rodell's excellent book on Palmer a few years ago and Rodell wrote that Palmer would spend six figures each year of his own money mailing back autograph requests to people that did not include a SASE with their request. At the end of his life, he would sit in his office and sign requests until his hand was so swollen, he could not even close his hand. Petty still visits his museum one day each week just to fulfill mail-in autograph requests. The staff at the museum lay out each item on a series of tables and he moves along, signing each item. Occasionally, Petty will pause and make a personal notation on the item if it is unique or something he has not seen before.
