Derek jeter no. 2 autographed ball
Hey guys, so I've only come across one way to find a Derek Jeter inscribed no. 2 autographed baseball. That's through Steiner sports and will only cost $1700. Does anyone on here have any better ideas. I'm willing to pay for a legit autograph, however $1000 for him to write 3 numbers/letters seems unreasonable. I see one on eBay with #2, however the #2 was added by someone else. Please anyone with one please contact me. Thanks, a true yankee collector

Wow, I had no idea that inscription was that rare. Can't really help but wish you the best of luck!

Does Jeet ever stop being a money-grubbing prick, with no feelings at all for his fans?
Nope. |

Do you get the actually number sign/ hashtag sign "#" in addition to the "2", or is that only available in the Number 2 Premium Package, say for an additional $500? |
How do you guys feel about the players who charge for a photo at a card show? I've seen some people charging up to $100 for a photo and that doesn't even include the autograph. When I first started collecting a photo was almost expected.

Check out the price differences in UDA Ted Williams baseballs, for inscribing ".406". They were more expensive when they came out, and still are.
Not sure if this is any different... |
F Steiner.

The bone of contention is that Steiner charges an obscene additional $1,000 to add two characters -- "#2" |
I don't think there is any way to defend Jeter on this. I wouldn't believe anyone who tried to say Jeter doesn't know what Steiner is charging and he is clearly complicit since he keeps signing deals with Steiner to market his material. It's really gross to make all of your money on the backs of fans and then to continue to rip those fans off when you have no reason to.

The current prices are at a level that indicates to me he doesn't want to sign at all. |
Why not donate all of the signing fee then?

Alsi I believe Jeter doesn't do inscriptions anymore, so maybe thats why its such a high price tag. |
This is a screen capture, taken 7/16/14, of Steiner Sports' online offering of a 2014 All-Star Game programs signed by Derek Jeter for $999.99. The cover price for a regular, unsigned program was $15.

Check back in a thousand years and you might be able to flip it for a slim profit. Adjusted for inflation, it'll never happen.
|
if anyone is nuts enough to pay that kind of money for No.2, or #2 or whatever, what happens if in ten years, he loosens up and starts just signing it? also his Steiner signatures suck, in my opinion. He signs them like someone has a gun at his head.

His Steiner "Send Your Items In" autographs are ugly. I probably get at least two Steiner emails a day with their "Special Sales" and there is nothing "Special" about them. |
The truth, have you ever seen a number 2 ball and or a jeter/Mantle combo? Real?

Why would you want a Jeter/Mantle ball? They played in different eras, and had nothing to do with one another. Having Jeter sign a Mantle single will certainly devalue the ball.
|
I could see wanting to assemble a Yankee "greats" type ball with Mantle, DiMaggio, Berra, Jeter etc...(likely you're not gonna try this with anything signed by Gehrig or Ruth so leaving them out) but specifically only Mantle and Jeter seems a bit odd.
However, as a Yankee fan, still cool. If someones favorite all time Yanks are Jeter and Mantle I could see it. |
Just a yankee fan, not into making $$$... my pops favorite player was Mantle and my favorite player was jeter... just curious if anyone has seen that combo, as far as devalue, highly doubt it..... this is what's wrong with autograph collecting these days, it's always about $$... sad for true Collectors's who never sell

Edit: Additionally, this situation has been made worse by the prices Steiner charges. I see their stuff on eBay all the time for half of the original retail price. They create and artificially inflate the prices of items and no one ever seems to get their money back when they go to sell. |
