NEW YORK - With thousands of baseball fans descending on the west side of Manhattan for Major League Baseball's All-Star Game themed FanFest, it was the local kid from Fitch High School who had people taking out an extra line of credit.
Mets star Matt Harvey jerseys were setting fans back $139. As for a jersey signed by the righty? Well, that's a $400 charge at one memorabilia dealer's table.
At the FanFest gift shop, Harvey's National League t-shirt - a $28 value - was sold out at one point, though another shipment was quickly being brought over for those who wanted the orange wear.
Matt Harvey baseball cards were also hot sellers, with some going for more than $50.
Harvey, a first-time All Star, will join David Wright as Mets representatives at Tuesday's All-Star Game at Citi Field.
