Paying for Autographs

There is a big business in getting autographs to sell or going to a convention and paying somebody and in return getting an picture and an autograph.  There are celebrities that get paid for showing up at clubs?  Baseball player sign baseball cards and jerseys and a lot of fans wait till players have showered and stick a program or baseball in their face to sign.

And presidential candidate will sign posters, hats, take selfies, and all sorts of other things.

I'm really disappointed that former presidents have seemingly gone in this way to pay for a lifestyle to which they have become accustomed while being in office.

This kind of self dealing may not be exactly illegal but  it really doesn't do much to allay the fears of most folks that the whole thing is rigged.
