OTHER ------------------------
Richard Kiel (jaws in Bond movies) US$10 each
Here is what I got when I sent to Glenn Hall:
P.O. Box 2483 Stn Main
Stoney Plain, Alberta T7Z 1X9
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?
The Hockey Hall of Fame will forward requests to their Honoured Members that are sent to them with a $2 donation.
Hockey Hall of Fame
BCE Place
30 Younge ST
Toronto Ontario
Canada M5E-1X8
Here's one I almost forgot about:
Richard Kiel
Best known as Jaws from the James Bond movies The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker. Was also in Happy Gilmore.
Richard Kiel Fan Club
P.O. BOX 1138
Clovis, CA 93612-1138
From the website www.richardkiel.com:
"We DO NOT respond to free autograph requests...For autographs on your own materials, send SASE and money order in U.S. dollars in the amount of $10 for each piece you want autographed by Mr. Kiel. "
You can also buy direct from the site.
I know that....
Yogi Berra charges $35
Whitey Ford $35
Tito Fuentes $10
Vida Blue $10
aww...it would be easier to list the ex-baseball players who don't charge.
as for hockey...
Clark Gillies will send you a price list
Stan Mikita will send you a price list
Bobby Orr charges $80 to sign a card.
Marcel Dionne $10 and a SASE
Eddie Giacomin only signs at conventions.
Pierre Pilote charges $18
you could buy one on ebay for less than that!
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!
Andre Dawson
Received 1 of 3 signed along with info for donations to foundation
Sent to:
6295 Southwest 58th Pl. Miami, FL 33143

Updated. Baseball players mentionned are part of the list linked at the top.
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.

Thanks Jason. Updated.
Hank Aaron charges a fee depending on what you want signed: baseball bat, baseball, baseball jersey, baseball card, etc.
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.
Jan Stenerud makes you buy through his site
Updated.

Marty Keough (former MLB player) will no longer sign autographs at all. He says people are selling them "on google".

Don't forget that I'm a hockey guy, so some of these names are unfamiliar to me. Please add their sport so that I can add them to the list at the top. Thanks.
