Pete Rose arguably signed extra autographs than any ballplayer in MLB historical past, however that does not imply “Charlie Hustle” memorabilia is not experiencing a sizeable increase in worth in dying, in line with a high professional.

TMZ Sports talked to David Kohler, founder and president of SCP Auctions, simply days after Rose’s dying … and we requested whether or not gadgets signed by the legendary Reds participant have elevated in value following Pete’s dying on Monday.

“Every time a really important person in a game of a big American sport such as baseball passes, there’s a lot of interest. I’m sure on eBay, there’s a lot more sales now for his memorabilia,” Kohler advised us, whereas noting, “for a long, long time, [Pete] was at all the card shows, making appearances, signing a lot of balls and bats. He did it for a long time.”

The legislation of provide and demand dictates that with outsized provide, costs will drop. Now, with Pete’s passing, there’ll sadly not be any extra gadgets signed, thus the bump.

But, David says there are some gadgets that carry important worth.

“Now, his game-worn items, his rare early pieces, his high, high-end baseball cards from the early 60s, his rookie year was 1963, and to early 70s, those items will increase in value. The rarity, the scarcity,” Kohler advised us.

What’s the holy grail, we requested.

“When it comes to cards, it would be his PSA 10, a rookie card from 1963 tops. There’s only one of those graded. It traded in the last 10 years for $717K. So today that card would be worth over a million dollars, easily.”

Of course, we broke the story … Rose was discovered deceased by a member of the family at his Las Vegas house after getting back from a signing/meet-and-greet in Nashville.

Pete’s Hall of Fame teammate, Tony Perez, who was with him on the signing, advised us his good good friend of 6+ a long time wasn’t feeling properly on Sunday.

The Medical Examiner, after conducting an post-mortem, says Rose died of issues from coronary heart illness.
