Is Derek Jeter's autograph worth $1,000?

[thetruthisoutthere]

If you're patient, and if you know Jeter's autograph, there are some great deals out there.

I own eight Jeter rookie (1996) autographed baseballs and the highest price I paid was $179.99.

I've paid $99.00 and less for early Jeter autographed cards.

$1,000.00? No way!!!!

Most overhyped player in the history of baseball. Is he a hall of fame player? Yes, he is Paul Molitor with better looking girlfriends. But please, he was never even the best SHORTSTOP in the league. Living in NY (not a Yankee fan) I respect him for being the anti-Aroid, but overrated and canonized WAY too much. I'm more impressed by his girlfriends than his game.

Who was better other than A-rod who was cheating?

Molitor did not play shortstop (a premium position) so not really sure what makes his career similar to Jeter's.

Molitor only played 1,495 of his 2,683 games in the field. Also only played 11 of his 21 seasons at third base.

Not comparable in my opinion.

Jeter plays shortstop. It is one of the most demanding and important positions on the field, rivaled only by catcher and centerfielder. And unlike his longevity predecessors (Vizquel, Smith) he can hit. He is an aberration.

Ditto.

Well written, Packs.
