Insane signings prices at the Sun Times show

[JimStinson]

$500.00 for a Piazza ? Don't they have a Dominos or Papa John's nearby ?

I think it has more to due with the value of the current guys time and less about how much the autograph is worth. These guys get paid millions of dollars a year and there time is what is valuable. They want to sign but to sit down for 2 hours and sign autographs when they could be getting a appearance fee for speaking commercials whatever just not worth it at a price that would make the autographs lower. Older guys who did not make millions but may have comparable stats see these inflated prices and believe they deserve higher prices as well. Often these are misguided and the market adjusts itself.

Hahaha, I live in Miami. Even if my neighbors knew how to make a pizza from those training videos they will never make it right.

The autograph fees of these current players has definitely changed my collecting focus. I have pretty much capped my "team" projects with the 1977/78 Yankees, and although I'd love to collect the 1998 Yankees team, there is no way I'm going to pay the prices that some of those guys want.
I also won't collect "potential" hall of famers. With the prices they charge and the flooding of the market, I figure they will actually be cheaper around the time they actually get in the hall.
By the way, I guess I'm in the minority in thinking that Tim McCarver's fee doesn't seem that bad

I think they went out of business, if Mills Drive is where Town and Country mall used to be. I've never seen them. Only thing I've seen lately is a Buffet Pizza place.

I tend to stick to Steve's Pizza on US1 and Mama Mia's on 152nd. Most of the other stuff is trash.

As you can probably tell, I'm from around that area as well.

Funny to hear guys from Utah (omg, what kind of pizza do they have there?) and Florida talking pizza.
