1994 National Autograph Price List

[DHogan]

When Bill Russell was signing autographs at a show in Boston around 1992 or so. They were charging $350.00.

I have to admit to being one of the people that paid $200 for DiMaggio to sign a ball when he wasn't signing balls and the going rate for flats was $50 for him. I think it was 91 or 92. Mantle was still signing bats and jerseys at that time. This was kind of the beginning of the end. I wanted to get it signed in person and back then you could still get a photo with the guy. I still have the ball and the photo as well as the memories. I think he then proceeded to bark at the person in line behind me. Fun times.

I can't remember what year it was but I was at a Gloria Rothstein show in White Plains that had Ted Williams, Mantle, and DiMaggio. They were all charging $100 each. I remember thinking that was crazy but I would kill to go back in time now.

June 1994 and it was $295 per and everything was cataloged and in January of 1995 he returned and signed with Chamberlain... That was the old Boston College High Show run by the Rose brothers.

Wow! I think that is the first time I have seen a Hall of Famer's price go down. You can now get signed authenticated photos from Bill Russell for under $100.

agreed with mark and steve, lots of these guys are net losers today at those prices. i'd sleep pretty well at night paying $10 for feller etc hof signed pc on ebay knowing they are authentic. almost no one was getting rookie cards signed back then.
