Alan,
Do you really believe that Koufax's autograph price would "go through the roof" from his current asking price of over $500 for a flat? YIKES!!

IMHO he's already priced himself out of the mind's eye of most collectors in the hobby....

I will admit that the value of some of his earlier vintage signatures may somewhat increase in value, but these don't currently sell for anywhere near Koufax's "asking price". I actually have 4 items that I would love to get signed by Koufax, but I find $500 a sig absolutely repulsive, so I will live without them. I remember getting Koufax's autograph as recently as the late 1990's at the National Sportscard Convention in Cleveland for $50 and he added an inscription that I requested for FREE!!

Times have certainly changed.....
