Jim, I can't speak as to why Vinny is so popular everywhere else, but if you grew up like I did in the Los Angeles area during the 60's and 70's, you were tuned in to your radio every game to listen to Vin Scully paint verbal pictures of the wonderful game of baseball. I've heard a few other announcers that I like almost as well, but never anyone better. As kids we were very fortunate to have both Scully and Chick Hearn to listen to.

Based on that number, I would imagine that the great John Sterling would start at $500

Vin Scully - Beautiful Signature
Blasphemy, John Sterling mentioned in the same thread as Vin Scully. Aside from Tim McCarver probably the most irritating out there with Susan finishing a close third!
Vin must have come off the rails a while back? He used to sign ttm like a champ. I haven't sent him in years.

Scully paints a picture of a game with artistry and understatement. Sterling manufactures self promotional, rehearsed calls to draw attention to himself. Just awful "look at me" announcing. BTW, I am a die hard Yankee fan who wouldn't pay a nickel for a Sterling autograph, but gladly have a Scully in my collection.

Just curious as to how generous . . .
.
Vin Scully has been over the years in providing his autograph gratis? Ernie Harwell was just a gem (no pun intended), and gave his out freely (for the most part; some book signings did charge a nominal fee). So it is no surprise there are many Harwells available in the marketplace, and have influenced the market value of his autograph. I do not ever recall hearing that Scully was nearly as generous. Prices are a reflection of supply and demand. No doubt about the demand. Last edited by HexsHeroes; 08-07-2012 at 05:56 AM. |

I wish I had thought about it as well, but now I need one for my 55 Dodgers and it will probably cost me 300 bones. Aghhhhh
