Private Signings?

[mr2686]

Well, I just called and they confirmed that they sold out this past weekend. Lot of money for the hammer though...glad I only paid 40 for each of mine.

They also did one in September that I got a card signed at, so with the one in December that will be two in pretty close proximity.

They are, by the way, very easy to reach and responsive. I have had good experiences with them.

Saw this post yesterday and looked on web to see if any good Private signings were coming up.....Mike Trout. And yesterday was last day to place order. Ordered one flat and one Oversize flat with one inscription. It is set for late December so I will update next year..

For a private signing? What decade?

I got him back in 89 and then again in 91. Once his prices went up he wasn't worth it...same with Mays.

Worth it to whom? Aaron sells out every time he appears, and May's would get 500 a pop if he could sign his name. I disagree. Now 400 for Mariano Rivera I just dont understand

[mr2686]

Well you're welcome to disagree...and I wouldn't pay 400 for Rivera either. Most of these guys are pricing themselves out of the market for most collectors. As long as there are people that are willing to pay, that's cool, more power to them. But as you wrote, Mays can't write his name and the last one's I saw from Aaron were getting pretty bad. Everyone has to draw a line in the sand somewhere, and that line is different for everyone.

Actually, Aaron's signature has started to improve again (on most pieces). I am amazed that people will pay his prices for something like balls and photos, though. There is just so much out there on the secondary market for less (and usually nicer, older signature styles as well). Premium items are entirely understandable.
