In 1987, Willie Mays signed a game bat for me. As I was walking around the card show after, the man who was representing Mays told me "Mr. Mays would like to know if you would sell him the bat." I had just bought the bat a few weeks prior for $600.(inflation?) He said Willie told him he was prepared to pay $1000. Even though the $400 profit seemed like a lot back then, I respectfully declned. The autograph cost me $10 that day. How I yearn for the old days.
