I have several Branca autographs, but a buddy notified me that he would be at a live signing, maybe in the last 12-18 months. I can't remember exactly when it was, but they were charging $25 per autograph. Branca is pretty easy to get in general, so $25 sounds somewhat steep. I didn't want to go overboard, so I picked out a couple of vintage cards and mailed them off. They turned out nice and well worth the $25 a pop. Wouldn't do it with a 90 Pacific Legends though!
 RIP Mr. Branca. I was surprised to recognize him in a small movie role too a few years back… http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1047540/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_1

Branca easy to get? He was spotty TTM since 2004, and hasnt answered through the mail in 6 years! I guess it depends on what medium you'd want, but his signed 52 topps are not very plentiful.
He was at a show in White plains with Erskine, and I gladly spent the 25$ thrice, for 3 signed 52 topps

It's all relative, but there are plenty of Branca autographs to choose from at reasonable prices. If you needed something specific, maybe that was a bit harder. I don't know, never tried and this signing was something that just fell into my lap, so I took advantage. I do prefer the better cards signed and had a 52T already, so figured the RC was the choice.

Interestingly, despite his mild and gracious personality, he was ejected from a 1952 World Series game for bench jockeying.
