Hey, saw that you're collecting a lot of old-timer baseball players. Those guys are the best to send to...most sign for cheap if anything. You may want to check out www.sportscollectors.net. I've been a member on there for 4 or 5 years and has a ton of resources for collecting these old guys TTM along with prices and success rates of other members.

Thanks,
James

He has been charging now for the past 5-6 years, since his daughter got involved with the autograph requests. Seems like the price goes up every other year.

If so, you are in the run for the $10 gift certificate.
