I love the old pictures that I have of my son with old time players.
And if someone is happy that he paid for a pic of themselves with athletes then more power to you.
I just think it is disgusting that a promoter charges that kind of money for the opportunity to get a 5X7 photo with the athlete. 5x7??? What is the matter Tristar, you could not get a deal on 8x10's? If you are printing them on the spot, well my printer handles 5x7's and 8x10's. Pay me and I will be happy to bring it to the show and do the printing for you.
What used to be free for all is now another source of $$$ for these million dollar companies. And as stated previously if I was setting up at the show I would be really pissed off. Though I do suspect that this might be the show where price resistance sets in and people just don't pay $400 for a signed picture of themselves with Randy Johnson, etc. That is just nuts.
