Hi Mike!,
Yeah, this segment of the hobby, as with any segment, can have high prices depending on how badly the collector needs it. To me, I just can't fork out that much more money (I believe a single signed Gomez ball goes for about $250). I have some balls with the HOF inscription, and many without, but I'm just not so OCD that it really matters anymore LOL.
Congrats on the sale price though. I think you did real well.
