$600.00!!!   Geez.

The market is flooded with Jeter signed baseballs.

Funny thing is, his recent Steiner sigs are ugly and unattractive.

Yet, I have two of Jeter's books that are signed by him and the autographs are beautiful.

Other than that, I only own and collect his early autographs.

I think it's a Yankee thing. I have no other explanation.

1952 Topps Mantle rookie cards aren't terribly rare. Yet their value doubles every few years. A mid range example that could have been purchased at any major card show in the 90s for $750 sells consistently now for $15k - $20k.

Mariano Rivera was one of greatest relief pitchers of all time. But his autographs sell for a multiple of any hall of fame inductee in the last 20 years. Ripken, Boggs, Gwynn, Griffey, Thomas, Ryan .. List could go on. Rivera sells for more than them all.

I guess there are just more Yankee fans with money to burn.
