Got Jeter here in Louisville when he came here with Tino Martinez who was the brother-in-law of Louisville's BB Coach, Lelo Prado. Got a ball and a mini helmet and he was very accommodating outside a bar where there were a number of people getting sigs. The $300 is just Steiner pushing the envelope and building the market higher and higher. Jeter probably charges a pretty fixed amount to sign for X amount of time. These new guys view autograph signing I think as a nuisance (at least many of them). If you'd made $200M or more during your career, you'd probably think you didn't need to sign your name, so only do it when someone's willing to pay your $30,000 for 3 hours. Anyway, he was great to us here and wish him the best of luck in retirement. I would never pay $300 for anyone's auto anymore.............
