It's absurd because you can buy a Jeter signed baseball on EBay for cheaper.
I made a post about this long ago, the signings have truly gotten out of hand. I'm a big Yankees fan and a long time Jeter supporter. One of the premier hitters in the games history. For $2000 I could get single signed baseballs from Williams, DiMaggio, Mantle and Mays and still have money to spend.
These former players are charging too much. Legends of the game used to be accessible. Hell DiMaggio was charging $100 back in the 90's and that was considered obscene, but he was "The Greatest Living Ballplayer." If you want the legends names to be carried on be the younger generation, you need to make sure that they are accessible to the younger generation.
The commoditization of our hobby is sad, and I hate it.
