MArch 20 at Stephens Center. Never went to one of these, was considering taking the nephew, $10 to get IN...OK, how much more?

The prices are crazy for some...and then some, why would you pay even $1 for a marv Levy or a Phill Simms? Russell Maryland?

That could get expensive really quick. I don't think my 10 year old would know who a lot of them are.

I think it's borderline criminal that Kaepernick commands a higher price than Hulk Hogan and nearly double what Ric Flair's asking.

My Dad took me to a few of these when I was a kid. He'd only pay for HOF players. So we got Pete, Mickey, Ernie and a few other guys.

I haven't been since I was a kid. Don't care anymore. But I'm told the pricing is different. Like my dad paid $10 or $15 for each item Mickey would sign. No matter the item

A friend of mine tells me now a days it's one price for a glossy picture. More for a baseball. More for a bat. More for a jersey. That sort of thing.

And yeah, I think HOF players charge like $50-$75 per autograph today.

The only autograph I'd want from that whole roster is Ric Flair's.

Man, my Dad got a good deal For Mickey's autograph. I think it was no more than $25 per autograph. This was early 90s. He got 4 balls signed. That's a steal compared. to today's prices.

I would bring a high res camera, take a pic and then get a fat head made of the pic!

Most of those prices are insane, but it might be worth the $ to have Bob Golic sign one of these posters or DVDs;

Is Chris Zorich's rate $29 plus tax?

How does it all work? Do you drop the cash or buy tickets ? Hey, Jameis, here is $100 will you sign this?
