He was an interesting man and a great player, but can't imagine his auto will ever be worth much of anything. I have given plenty of them away and probably still have 30 or more left.

Agreed. Feller was always talking. He was an ambassador for the game. I am usually disappointed when a promoter announces a guest list. I have to stop myself and remember that there are new collectors entering the hobby who just might not have had the opportunity to get Jim Palmer or Gaylord Perry.
Feller's signature on a stock 8x10 will never be worth much, but on a unique item the price would be higher.
