You know most of these players need a life too, yes they are paid well for what they do, yes they owe the fans, most I have seen have been very good to kids, charging for autographs has become part of it because WE have created a market and there are people that will send kids to have players sign stuff just to sell or worse they are selling fake sigs on ebay and other sports auctions.

I don't think the "fake" autographs are nearlly as high as what they say it is.

Most on eBay are legit IMO. I usually compare the signature to one that I know is legit.

It is true however, that some parents have kids acquire the autographed item & then turn around & sell it.

My youngest daughter had autographs for the Orioles. She kept the baseball, but when she no longer wanted the team signed poster she donated it to the local Cancer chapter auction. It's all in how you were raised.

Good job raising her!!! I have bought auto'd memorabilia through charity auctions as well (the last was a Dom Capers signed cap- not very proud of it but no one else was bidding and it was only 5 bucks)

Rosemary's did better than that. They sent her a thank you card and stated on it the poster brought $255.
