From Taz:
Today 4th year player Mike Trout is doing a private signing and is charging $265/signature and $385 if you want him to sign his full name. I wonder if that will seem cheap in 20 years.

Unless the player has done something extraordinary I enforce a minimum 10 year career playing rule before paying outlandish amounts of money for someone who is not and would not be Hall of Fame eligible . To me a Cy Young , MVP or ROY etc.. is not considered unless they have won multiple awards and even then I consider waiting again because of my 10 year rule.
There have been countless great players with great seasons but they never had 10 year careers or even 10 great seasons. That is the rule I have been using and it has worked well for me.
I understand collectors paying it but what will it be worth if that player doesn't make the 10 year career or fades out rapidly for whatever reason.
