1937 Who's Who in Major League Baseball with over 50 autographs
I have a 1937 Who's Who in Major League Baseball yearbook that has over 50 autographs. Would anyone have any idea what the value of this may be?
http://www.joedawolf.com/images3/3341.jpg Here are some of the autographs: Bump Hadley Van Mungo Johnny Cooney Ival Goodman Tony Lazzeri George Selkirk Honus Wagner Lou Chiozza Mickey Haslin Tommy Thevenow Roy Spencer William (Big Bill) Lee Rip Collins Larry French Yankees: Joe Glenn Saltzgaver Rolfe Joe Painter St, Louis Browns: Walkup Heath Chicago Cubs: Galan Stainback Bryant O'Dea Hack Herman Hartnett St. Louis Cardinals: Weiland Gutteridge Chervinko T. Moore Pittsburgh Pirates: Brubaker Brandt Waner Brown Epps Wagner Traynor Cincinnati Reds: Paul Derringer Kiki Cuyler Ernie Lombardi Vander Meer Walker R. Davis Schott Chuck Dressen V. Davis McCormick Outlaw Rohde Gelbert Boston Bees: Danny MacFayden Tony Cuccinello Wally Berger Vince DiMaggio Warstler May Fletcher Hutchinson Bush Brooklyn Dodgers: Buddy Hassett Joe Stripp John Winsett Mungo Clark Baker Manush Eisenstat Morgan Cooney High Jeffcoat Philadelphia Phillies: Bucky Walters Mulcahy LaMaster Wilson Atwood Arnovich Moore Tauby Jorgens Johnson Kelleher http://www.joedawolf.com/images3/3345.jpg http://www.joedawolf.com/images3/3347.jpg |
The good news is that it is a really cool item. The bad news is (as you probably already know) an item like this is sort of like a team signed ball. If these same names were signed on a team sheet with some nice spacing, your names would be worth $1200-$1500. As it is now, they can not be seperated out so it is basically 1 multisigned item. I would venture that the book is worth in the $500-$800 range but it could be worth a little more or less depending on the placement and boldness of the Wagner which I did not see. It is a really neat vintage item though.

Do you think eBay would be a good place to auction this, or the Buy Trade section of this site?

The good news about the Wagner is that it is signed in the white spot. It is dark and bold but not the best looking example as it is sort of shaky and you can tell he was getting older and probably standing up when he signed it. Ebay is really hit or miss and it could do really well or it could go pretty low and the fees suck. Without certification some people might shy away from it but I would think people would still assume all the signatures are real based on the look and feel of the piece. The BST might work for you. There are not a ton of autograph guys on here but you never know. It is a cool item and one of the shames of our hobby is when a signature of one guy on a piece of paper is worth more than a multi signed piece signed by the same guy and a bunch of others too.
