										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Applause to <a href="http://www.sportsaddresslists.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvey Meiselman</a>, who just forwarded news of two baseball retirees now charging for signing through the mail.</p>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Rocky Colavito wants $55 per autograph! Sure, <a href="http://www.sportscollectors.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.sportscollectors.net</a> has just two FREE responses logged in the last decade-plus. He hasn&#8217;t cared for fan mail for years.</div>
<p>Oh&#8230;his signing agent says they&#8217;ll sell you their autographed card for just $70.</p>

<td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.baseballbytheletters.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/colavito.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" border="0" height="320" src="http://www.baseballbytheletters.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/colavito-214x300.jpg" width="228" /></a></td>

<td style="text-align: center;">I&#8217;ll buy my own card, thanks&#8230;</td>

</table>
<p>Colavito&#8217;s pricelist/list states that a portion of proceeds will go to his church, builders of a recent school and gymnasium. Hmmm&#8230;how big is this portion?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m still reeling over the extra fees imposed for inscriptions or special items ($170 for a Hartland statue, for instance). I&#8217;m steering clear of this &#8220;deal.&#8221;</p>
<p>The contrasting news about Darren Daulton&#8217;s $15 per TTM signature fee was less jolting. <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/blog/eye-on-baseball/22722019/darren-daulton-diagnosed-with-highly-malignant-brain-cancer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daulton</a> is facing a dire health forecast, dealing with a malignant brain tumor. I could envision him liking help with his mail, considering his condition.</p>
<p>However, the idea of Daulton costing is a shock to collectors watching the SCN site. He&#8217;s responded more than 400 times, good for 90 percent of all attempts.</p>
<p>My problem with this change is that even Daulton&#8217;s website says he&#8217;ll be resting at his Florida home, far from the agent&#8217;s Pennsylvania address.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, if you&#8217;re interested, gets more details first from Todd Schafer at Under The Radar Sports Promotions.&nbsp;Contact&nbsp; <a href="mailto:sales@undertheradarsports.net" shape="rect" target="_blank">sales@undertheradarsports.net</a>. </p>
