I agree with the "hard to believe" statement. Mantle, Williams, and DiMaggio were generally $20-25 until the early 90's. I paid $50 for flats and $200 for ball at a east coast show for DiMaggio in about 91-92 and that was outrageous. Mantle was still lower. DiMaggio would not sign baseballs at the time unless he got more and everyone thought it was crazy. I figured it might be the last time I would have the opportunity to get one signed in person so I bit the bullet and still have that one for my collection.
