Any idea what an authentic Cheetah autograph would go for these days?

Sadly Cheetah's autograph has not increased dramatically in the volatile autograph market and sells for around $75.00-$100.00. As a consolation though his autograph is still the most pricy of all animals , Its too bad Rinn Tinn Tinn, Lassie and Old Yeller just to name a few never lived long enough to profit from their fame via the autograph circuit.
I tried to do a private signing with the racehorse SECRETARIAT once , I was printing up some fancy heavy stock limited edition gold embossed tiles and a large ink pad for him to leave a hoof print on. And when I contacted the stable it took me 30 minutes to convince them I was serious ...
and after that they told me I was not going to get within a mile of the most famous race horse in history for ANY amount of money.
They explained to me that while he WAS retired he had a lucrative "side job" breeding to mares that paid almost $200,000 for every "romp in the hay" and unless I wanted to "pony up" a lot of greenbacks they didn't want to risk injury with my stupid "hoof print" idea...
, Hey I tried and it seemed like a good idea at the time
