Astute observations, G1911, and a truly excellent post. I have noted over the last four decades of the hobby that Willie Mays seldom failed to let a fan down, whereas former players Brooks Robinson, Mickey Mantle, Ernie Banks, Warren Spahn, and several others seldom failed to endear themselves FURTHER at card shows as autograph guests. As you expressed, their kindness, or at least civility, to their adoring fans helped their cards and other items appreciate in value. -- Brian Powell
