I agree with you but also at the time other collectors and dealers and I were dealing with Aaron in the 80s and 90s Mickey Mantle , and Ted Williams were the heavy hitters and the high dollar 500 HR autographs and there was obvious resentment from Mays and Aaron about that . Also Mantle and Williams were not easy to get their HR totals added to items also . They charged extra also unless you got them on a good day or in a private signing setting .
