Mantle Signed 8 x 10 Mantle on BOW WOW Dog Food Ad B&W Photo

[Directly]

Hundreds (est 500 +/-) autographs were brought into my shop yesterday--( 3 large tubs full had another 5 full tubs at home, from a 30 year collection)--many 8 x 10 Mantle + DiMaggio, etc. deceased Movie stars, etc. Nice fresh collection for sale.

I offered $$$$ for the 3 tub lot, didn't make the deal, but can counter offer..--I bought a several great items, but I didn't make a dent!!


The Mantle signed Bow Wow Dog food slick signed 8 x 10 was interesting--was asking 190.00 but this seemed rather on the high side, but wasn't familiar with the ad. The 8 x 10 photo Ad shows Mantle in street cloths with a Dalmatian with the Bow Wow food ad.

He wants to sell the whole collection??--any thought on this Mantle value ?

Photos?

Umm that's not very much to go off without photos but...

Assuming the photo is a magazine ad and not an original photo

And assuming the photo is from the 1970s when he was hocking dog food

And assuming the signature is clear and good...

190 seems about average, I wouldn't be expecting to get more out of it on resale.

Sorry, no photo on the Mantle 8 x 10. I do agree on the Mantle being a retail price this was my thought too.

When called, the collector mentioned one, a John Wayne autograph. What walked into my shop, I sure wasn't expecting the three large tubs full to the top-it was overwhelming. I wasn't prepared for that many at once. I asked for a price for the 3 tub lot, and made a offer.

To go through a few thousand pieces will take time, they didn't have any organized inventory list, and all the autographs were piled into the large tubs, some framed some not.

I suppose the best approach is the separate the movie stars, personalities, and sports into groups and go from there?--any interest?


Thanks!

Interest in what?

Take photos/scans and list them on the B/S/T side.

...interest in giving your opinion on every single autographed item, and identifying every single person in every single photo. Each item in it's own separate thread.

I can't wait.
