Koufax�s prices are even higher from a year ago

By coincidence, I was just watching a Pawn Stars episode from a few months ago where a guy had several nicely framed signed Koufax photo displays. After Grad OK'd them, Rick told the guy that Koufax autos were weak, and either offered him a couple hundred or maybe didn't even make an offer, I can't remember which, but he clearly didn't want them, and the guy took them home.

Pawn Stars is an absolute farce. A friend of mine was on the show.
Absolutely scripted and not to be believed, FWIW.

I think athletes probably suspect every autograph or piece of memorabilia they give away has value and will eventually be sold by someone at some point.

There's the story of a kid who used to hang around outside the Metrodome, along with other fans, waiting for Kirby Puckett to come in/out of the stadium so as to get his autograph. This kid showed up with a handful of Puckett cards every day the Twins were in town. Kirby soon recognized him as a frequent flier, and finally one day, Kirby said to him: "I've given you enough autographs to buy a house."

The kid replied, "Now I need a pool."

Not surprised. But I still find it hard not to watch!
