I've heard that Cam Neely requires a donation to his charity, but don't have any more information than that. Can anyone help with this?

Here's one I almost forgot about:

Best known as Jaws from the James Bond movies The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker. Was also in Happy Gilmore.

You can also buy direct from the site.

That's ridiculous!

Posted by: corky Apr 19 2007, 07:06 PM

you could buy one on ebay for less than that!

Posted by: gregorium Apr 20 2007, 01:26 AM

The fact that Gillies has a price list just blows me away!! He's a marginal HOFer in any case. He gets in and Glenn Anderson is still on the outside looking in. Where's the justice?

I got Gillies myself before his induction. Sorry to see it go to his head!

Posted by: gregorium Apr 20 2007, 01:26 PM

That's cool that he didn't didn't charge you. Maybe he changed his ways.

Former NHL player Doug Mohns will sign one item for free, but asks for a $2 donation for each extra item. The donation goes toward a VERY good cause. I sent a few dollars to help.

A while back around the mid to late 90s, Shaquille would send autographs to members of his fan club. On another note, you had to be a certain age (I believe it was under age 15) to join the club. Things might have changed but that's from the experience I've had.

For football, Gregory Westbrook signed for a donation of around $15.00 for an 8 1/2 x 11 photograph. Don't have prices for other items being signed.
