Former Governor Brendan Byrne has an explanation as to why his autograph was currently selling on E-Bay for $3.00, while autographs of U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg and former Governors Jim Florio and Tom Kean are priced at between $24.75 and $29.99.
“It’s the market,” Byrne told PolitickerNJ.com’s Matt Friedman. “There are a lot of my signatures around. Mine was selling for $30 when I was in office. Nobody was buying them, and that’s what happens.”While Byrne understands the economic theories of supply and demand, that doesn’t mean the two-term Governor, who served from 1974 to 1982, is happy about the bargain rates of his autograph.
“I’m crushed,” Byrne said. “It takes me longer to write my name too.”
