Really, on that day, there were lines around the concourses with people just trying to get something to take home to remember the event. Maybe brag to their friends that they were there. I've seen a ton of great games at Yankee Stadium, new and old, including Aaron Boone, Cone and Wells' perfectos, 2009 clinching the WS, all three 2001 WS home games, etc. And the atmosphere at the Stadium after Jeter hit No. 3000 rivaled or surpassed just about all of them.
Thats fine, a shirt or pennant and I feel there is alot of Jeter love at that level, but sticking with the $600 dollar balls and pictures are those just Jeter fans or Stiener marketing victims who think these will be the greatest items in history? By the way, I live in Ohio so I don't have the Yankee vibe and outside of New York area intrest is near nill in Jeter.
