Aaron, Mays, and Koufax (when Koufax even does a signing) are the highest priced guys out there today. Price seems about right. Just looks like a perfect example of an older couple that has no knowledge about the hobby today and got a sticker shock. The other month Mariano Rivera was in White Plains to sign and the price was $299. Most of the price is the experience of meeting the player. Usually the "value" of the auto is half of what the signing costs. That Aaron fee also went to the promoter and for Aarons time. I will never get on an older guy for charging since they didn't make much when they played but the article seems to get on Aaron a bit for charging that much. Obviously if no one came for the signing his prices would drop. Its like people complaining about the price of a Disney World ticket and yet the parks are always jammed packed.
