Daisuke Matsuzaka Strikes Gold In Signature Deal

Upper Deck has signed Boston Red Sox pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka to an exclusive memorabilia and autograph deal.

Matsuzaka will make about $150 per autograph that Upper Deck will sell for $450 for english autographs and $550 for Kanji inscriptions.

Of course Boston Dirt Dogs is all over this and to how I take it are all over Matsuzaka for the high priced deal.

I say good for Matsuzaka, if at the price set they sell a lot of autographs and he makes money good, afterall he signed a contract with Boston for much less then he could have gotten if he had stayed in Japan another year and then moved to the majors.
