How much is the "donation" to the foundation to get his autograph?

Nolan Ryan was one of my favorites growing up and still is, I have a lot of cards in my collection, lots of really good valuable cards too, but I never have owned Nolan's rookie card.

Thanks for the really kind words...appreciate that! Yep, that was me that posted the Koosman.

VERY NICE MAN !!! Those are now Worth Big $$$$
Re: Nolan Ryan x3 - 3 1968T RC's - SUCCESS
Why is "donation" in quotes? They're a 501(c)3--money given to them is as much a donation as money given to any other charity.caappy wrote:How much is the "donation" to the foundation to get his autograph?
Or are you one of the people who thinks PBS sells tote bags for obscene prices?
ETA: It occurs to me that many on this forum will have no clue what I'm talking about. So, rather than have to explain it later, I might as well do it now.
There are 2 reasons to put "donation" in quotes:
1) You doubt the legitimacy of the charity.
2) You view the transaction as a purchase.
#1 is dealt with fairly easily--you simply point to their 501(c)3 status.
With #2: it's not. It's the same business model as PBS. They aren't selling tote bags, they're offering them as an incentive to donate at or above a certain amount. It is the same case here. It's not a purchase price, it's a suggested minimum donation. If you send more than they're asking, they're not going to send you a refund.
So if you view this as a purchase, then, logically, you must be the same type of person who believes that PBS is selling tote bags, as the transactions are identical--just a different item & a different charity.

Awww, how cute. Someone who thinks that people will be dumb enough to believe that they're me, despite the blatant period & completely different post numbers.
And, of course, the obvious fact that if, if it were me, I would've edited the post, not replied to it. Not to mention it's not necessarily true that "nobody but her will know why she signed it twice" & I'm smart enough to know that.
Not to mention the grammatical mistakes.
But, please, carry on. You can help me find more people to add to my ignore list. I don't need to be bothered reading posts by users that are stupid enough to believe that these 2 accounts are the same. I appreciate the help in weeding out the ****. So thank you.

^You know you didn't post anything, right?
Mistook "Quote" for "Edit" without realizing that you were logged into a different account, perhaps?
