When I purchased my autographed material the items were extremely reasonably priced. I don't care about scarcity of the autographs. I just want them at a cost that won't break my bank. And Feller's autograph was the autograph of a superstar HOFer that I wanted and still cherish, even though I know if won't help fund my retirement!

I agree. I think it's awesome that Feller signed everything a fan put in front of him for like 70 years. I don't get why this would be considered a bad thing.
