Most players did not sign bats because there was not that big demand. People with money and a place to show them would buy them. It took up time and space at shows. He signed thousands of bats and as you can see by there prices they are not in great demand. Look at the cost of doing them at that time and what they cost today. Joe d and Williams bats have actually lost money. Mantle did not want to do them because of time. Like I said if there where money on the table the bats where signed.
