..$2,300 for only 12 signatures? Sure, they're all HOFers (but no Koufax, Mays, or Maz), but this could've been a truly great keepsake if they expanded the auto list to include other Fall Classic Heroes (K. Gibson, Carter, Schilling, Larsen, etc..).

On it's own though, this is the ultimate World Series compliation (features every series from 1943-2008).

This is for the World Series... NOT Hall of Fame...all the players on the front deserve to be there.... but if you have a World Series Autographed item and NOT include Don Larsen, Kirk Gibson and/or Joe Carter....why bother.... they all had memorable WS moments but they are not included??

Maybe im not thinking clearly.... what did Brooks Robinson, Mike Schmidt and Gary Carter do that Im forgetting?

From wikipedia -Brooks Robinson won the World Series Most Valuable Player Award hitting .429, (which broke the record for total bases with seventeen (17)), tied the record for most hits in one (1) game with four (4), and tied teammate Paul Blair for most hits in a five-game Series with nine (9). Total Baseball described Brooks Robinson's fielding with, "other-worldly defense at third (which) gave Reds right-handed hitters nightmares through the Series." Upon hearing that Brooks Robinson had won the MVP award and a new car from Toyota, Reds' catcher Johnny Bench said, "If we had known he wanted a car that badly, we'd all have chipped in and bought him one."

That series is most remembered for the defensive performance of Robinson.

Didn't Carter score the winning run on the Bill Buckner play?

This would be a awesome addition to anyone's collection but is way overpriced. What's a shame is the guy's that did sign it are probably making more now signing autos then the ever did playing.

No. That was Ray Knight.
