Was wondering what you would pay for the chance to meet a player for 30 seconds without get his autograph?
A post about the cost to get a Bernie Williams Autograph at the recent East Coast National got me thinking. A Bernie IP auto on a card goes for like $25, on a ball (authenticated) maybe $50-$75 for a ball, yet that does not come close to the cost of getting it signed in person (after waiting in line for ages.)
Willie Mays is even more. $300 for an autograph you can get on eBay for $50 or so.
So my question is, would you pay $75 to meet Bernie for 30 seconds and not get an autograph, or $250 to meet Mays and not get an autograph?
(Obviously this question is for those who pay the prices to get IP auto's at shows. For those who don't the answer is obvious.)
