It's official: Mets fans like Ike (Davis, that is)
If there’s one thing that the rest of us should understand, it’s that when it comes to fans of New York teams there’s seemingly always plenty of demand for their autographs and memorabilia.
And the latest example is New York Mets first baseman Ike Davis.
Steiner Sports is holding the first private signing session with the Mets rookie next week and Steiner’s Billy Bahnsen reports that demand has been very, very high for items signed by the Arizona State product who is hitting .333 with a homer and five RBI in his first nine big-league games.
“The pre-orders have come flying in to the tune of almost 350,” Bahnsen said. “Without question, it’s the highest non-[Derek]Jeter pre-order in a number of years. ”
And, in fact, Steiner’s pre-order total allocation is now sold out.
Perhaps helping that are the relatively affordable prices for Davis’ memorabilia — baseballs are $59.99, while 8x10s are $49.99. (It’s inevitable that Davis’ rates will increase if he keeps up his strong play in New York and has continued demand for his autographs, too.)
