I was at a show in Kansas City in the 80's (National I think) and DiMaggio's signature was something like $300 and Mantle wasn't far behind at around $250. I walked by and looked at the stars signing, but there was no way I was going to A) Stand in that line which would take hours to get through and/or B) Pay that kind of money for a signature. I remember thinking I'd much rather spend my limited resources on the cards I needed.
