$40 SPLINTER: Who was greater, Ted Williams or Willie Mays? By price tag, it’s the Splendid Splinter. Williams’ autograph will cost $40, Mays’ just $25, at the mammoth four-day baseball card show at the Orange County Fairgrounds, which begins tonight. You can get Pete Rose--promoters call him a huge draw--for $20, Reggie Jackson for $22. They’ll all be there at scheduled times. But the biggest hit may be Bruce McNall and Wayne Gretzky’s $451,000 1909 Honus Wagner baseball card, which will also be on display. (C8)
