Jodi BirkholmSorry, perhaps I should have added that I understand and appreciate the allure of a McMullin or a Charlie Faust. These men actually played a role in the history of the game, and that is the reason why they are remembered. Graham is only remembered and revered due to W.P. Kinsella needing a character with a great name to fit his storyline. It is the character that is loved, not the actual person. Ergo, I find it silly that people would shell out four figures to own something signed by a semi-fictitious individual. Just to show my hypocrisy, I'll happily buy any authentic Graham signatures at decent rates to add a few bits to my savings account! 
***To add some backbone to my position, there was a WWII-era player named Lawrence "Crash" Davis, whose name was used for a fictional character in Bull Durham . Despite the cult status of the film, his autograph carries no premium.***
