Joe D
I was at a 1995 show in Chicago (might have been the National--can't remember). DiMaggio was signing and there was a list of items he would and would not sign. A flat at the time was $175.00...I took a back up Sports Illustrated with me but hoped to get a Dell S.I.signed as my first choice....There was a guy in front of me that had a baseball and his ticket paid stub for signing his ball....It had previously been signed by Ted Williams and Mickey Mantle at 1 or 2 two shows...depending...when Dimaggio got the ball and looked at it...he told the guy...sorry....not signing this!!!!!!!
"I don't sign anything Mantle signed ahead of me"! The guy had to get out of line...go buy another new baseball for 10 dollars or so...get back in line and have it signed. Nice guy! TRUE STORY. P.S. He hollered at my mother also for taking too many pictures...she apparently was holding up the line....lol Last edited by sicollector1954; 05-19-2020 at 08:49 PM.

I used to hear stories about his being upset that people were making money off his signature. So he would limit the number and types of items he would sign, thus driving up their value. If he would have signed anything and everything, the values would have come down. He didn't realize he was creating the surge in market value he so decried.
