Sent a picture in a large envelope on 6/24. Received a letter stating that because so many people are selling his autograph on Ebay that he needs, for some reason, to charge. It had a price list enclosed. Football card (provided by you) 10.00, Picture 5x7 or 8x10 25.00, Picture 11x14 and over 75.00 you get the idea.
I guess the millions that he made just wasn't enough.

I got him on a 4X6 for $10 earlier this year.

he's been charging for years. $10 - 25 is a bargain compared to what other athletes charge

That's pretty routine for a key athlete to charge a small fee for an autograph. $10 is far less than what you'd pay at show. Besides, he donates the money to a hospital he works with.

Gale played six years in the 60's and certainly didn't get paid like athletes today. If Gale is a multi-millionaire he did it outside of playing football.....and not signing ttm is pretty common with athletes and celebrities, so don't get so bitter with the disappointments.

according to http://www.celebritynetworth.com/ he's worth 6 million. which is incredible considering most players from his era are near broke

I think so but I'm not sure. I was at sportscollectors.net.

As far as Sayers not making money and not paid like today's athletes. When he played inflation was low and you could actually buy something for a dime. The dollar was worth a dollar not like today.
