as a follow-up, I thought I'd share this story about one of my friends "good" pieces. He purchased a beautiful 16x20 B&W photo of Mantle in the batting cage signed Mickey Charles Mantle, from Jack Heir. I went with him to pick it up from Jack, and Jack told the story of asking Mickey to sign a couple of these photos with his middle name. Apparently this didn't settle very well with Greer Johnson (she wanted to have a monopoly on that type of signature) and Mickey turned to her and told her the Jack was one of his "boys". After another minute of complaining, Mickey turned to her again and said "I said he's one of my boys". Case closed! Just goes to show what happens when women know how much memorabila is or could be worth
