I know, it is the old folks that lament .... there was a time when ballplayers signed a ball for a kid just because he could.

But that was before that kid would take his new autographed ball to eBay to see what he could get.

The players did not do this to signing their name to an object. The mercenary pseudo-fan did.

Now we have the Stan Musial, Yogi Berra, etc. Corporations. Whose product is largely a signature. Where is the value?

I have a personalized Musial picture. To me there is value. To eBay? Who cares?
