I think Mays charges quite a bit,

Astronaut Neil Armstong goes for some big cash as well

If memory serves me right, Mays' autograph was $280 at the "50 Years of Amazin' Baseball" autograph show at Citi Field last January... and unlike the other players who participated in the event, photography was forbidden.

In entertainment, any of these are expensive and sought after:

Steven Spielberg
George Lucas
Harrison Ford
Sean Connery
Paul McCartney

And many, many forgeries.

Connery is probably going to be near impossible from now on. He was always kind of a dick about it but he's announced his retirement and withdrawal from public life, so what was a toughie will now be impossible.

Most big-name rock stars are very tough and very expensive.

Ford recently conducted a private signing that sold out very quickly. I believe 11x14 SPs were about $450.

Bill Watterson, creator of the great comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, is another who withdrew from the public and will not sign autographs.

A signed drawing might bring as much as an Armstrong to a comic art collector.

Neil Armstrong, and it is not even close, in the non sports world.
Right, Zip?? .

[milkit1]

non peraonlised space shot of armstrong by far.

[Danny Smith]

Koufax has got to be up there for living hofers.

[travrosty]

armstrong is the most valuable, he doesn't sign anymore but on very rare ocassions, one-off, no mass signings. so if he signed just a cut like an index card , you could get 4 figures for it.

baseball, mike marshall is near the top, hard signature to get, he signs infrequently.

in boxing, alfredo evangelista (fought Muhammad Ali) is very hard to find, he is living, but is difficult to find and get to sign anything. a cut like an index card gets 250 dollars, and a photo brings 500. This is as much as Ali brings himself, and I don't think Ali can really sign anymore due to his health.

Both Pujols and Ichiro are also quite expensive to purcahse.

LOL, I didn't know this! I live about 7 miles away from Dr. Mike and had an aquaintenceship while playing Men's baseball. He is a little ornery, .
