Feller's signing career was from 1936 until 2010 and he was everywhere and cheap! He was the gateway player for anyone who collects autographs. Now there are fewer shows and the average price for a signature is $90-$110 a throw. Feller is the KING!

I question how long the lines are in Vegas to get Pete's autograph. Most folks are going to want to spend money on gambling not Pete's signature. One does not go to Vegas for autographs.

Based on what I see at a CSA show, a good-day-of-crowd for any hof signer is 100 or more signatures. In this era, a sellout is so rare I never preorder. When I purchase my tickets if the ticket number is under 100, in my opinion it is not a good draw for the particular signer. I don't know what lies beyond the curtain (mail order) where the real money is made. For kicks, let's say 100 day of and a generous 200 in mail order, that is 300 signatures. There are fewer shows now in a given year than the roaring 90's and 00's. Say the player does 5 shows a year. That is just 1500 autographs. The post induction year shows will be the biggest draw with the numbers dwindling with each additional year and show. Over 10 years 15,000 signed items.

George Brett used to appear at one show maybe two per year. I have not seen him listed as a guest in over a decade. I have not seen Koufax at show since the mid-90's. So, the amount of autographs available for some players is far less than others. Jeter and Ichiro are two other examples.
