Re: Is this not overpriced?
Considering his signed baseballs with good LOA's typically sell for $250+ on eBay, I don't think it's that far off.
He's not somebody you'll see on the card show circuit. He probably does one private signing a year. And unfortunately, considering he's 89, he probably won't be around for too many more years. i.e. He's the very definition of a tough autograph.Comment

Re: Is this not overpriced?
Yeah i saw that on ebay....prices were crazy inflated there too. And why wont he sign microphones? Did his agent have him sign a bunch to sell in a few years after he passes? He's a legend but in a way, i expected a legend that old to remember what baseball was about and not what it's become. 400$ bobble heads.....Comment

I've met Mr. Scully a number of times back when he was still announcing road games and he was always very gracious to stop and chat about baseball and sign anything you asked him to.Comment

Re: Is this not overpriced?
It never gets old. So and so is charging too much for his autograph. Like all of us, the man has a right to decide what amount of money it takes to get him to leave the house. At 89, I have to assume the number is higher than it was 10-15 years ago, as is the demand for his signature. I work for a couple people that have a number they must hit to leave the house and their families. By most standards, it is a large number. Many times, I get a call inquiring about their services and people are shocked at the number and question it. However, more often than not, when I get that call the person on the other end is well aware and is more than happy to pony up the dough. I am guessing Vin Scully and his representatives have a pretty good grip on the value of his time as well as the market for his signature. Thus the price. Some will balk, but more often than not, people who desire will pay up.Comment

I have no problem with him asking whatever he wants but there are HOF players asking 1/4 of that... just seems like a lot for a broadcaster to me.Comment

I wouldn't pay it myself, but we are (once again) in a free market society, and he and his reps have the right to ask it. Personally, I think Vin is one of the classiest and best baseball announcers in history.

Re: Is this not overpriced?
Im not sure how people are mistaking me questionning his huge asking price to trashing him....it feels like you can't have an opinion unless you agree with the majority in 2017. And the microphone ban was a legit question.....no one else finds it odd he put a clause in there? I'm just trying to figure out why he'd ban a specific object like that. More power to him if he can get thousands for his grandkids, but his prices totally warrant a debate on the inflated hobby i'd say. But in 2017 i guess it makes me a bully....im a price bullyComment

Re: Is this not overpriced?
That was my point, i asked opinions on pricing but got mostly replies about him being a class act.....i don't think i ever questionned his morals or classiness by questionning the rate of his autographs. Almost as if it's offensive to question 400$ signed bobble heads. I will never question the prices of saintky vin scully again.Comment
