I'm really confused as to how his sig could be so bad for a couple of years and now back to the way it was back in the 90's. Was he sick for awhile, or was mass signings affecting his sig? Gotta believe it was maybe both, and maybe that's why his fee is so much higher these days since he might not sign as many in a sitting. Inquiring minds want to know.

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.

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.
