That's a typical and unfortunate sign of the times. How much money do these guys need? Sad.
Also, I didn't think 108 sounded exactly right, so I referred to my list, and it's actually 104 possible signed P/S.
Lloyd Waner is by far the most rare, I believe I heard that there might be only one authentic one out there. I hope that's not the case, but either way, it's incredibly hard to find and understandably expensive.
Following Waner, in no particular order, would be Satchel Paige, Walt Alston, Joe Cronin and Earl Averill. In the next group down, still tough to find but not as tough, would be Stan Coveleski, Red Ruffing, Waite Hoyt, Burleigh Grimes, Kirby Puckett and Richie Ashburn.
