I'll sell you an autographed peach basket for $25. You pay the shipping.

Seriously, I had a Joe DiMaggio autograph from 1951 personally wishing me Happy Birthday. He signed it on a paper cocktail napkin when the Yankees were playing the White Sox in Chicago. I had a cousin who was a hostess at the lounge at the hotel the Yankees stayed at back then and she got it for me. I gave it to my oldest grandson, who is a HS baseball player. I checked and it's worth only about $50 on the open market, but it's priceless to my grandson.
