You "come on man," Jim. An autograph should not be--and for most of the time that people have collected autographs wasn't--a "product." It was given away gratis for various reasons--a thank you, or perhaps it just made the giver happy to make a fan--most often a child--happy.
Perhaps you have lost sight of where most of the autographs you sell originally came from.
(If all those old-time ballplayers and boxers only sold their autographs, there wouldn't be enough "stock" in existence today for you to make a living. Be glad they never considered autographs "product.")
