30's Detroit Tigers autos help Greenberg, Gehringer
I've come across a fellow that has an autograph book. Here is what he presented:
AUTOGRAPH BOOK FOUND WHILE MOVING. THE FOLLOWING AUTOGRAPHS OF THE 1938 DETROIT TIGERS AT THE LAKELAND, FLORIDA TIGERS TRAINING CAMP. GOOSE GOSLIN, SCHOOLBOY ROWE, DIZZY TROUT, HANK GREENBERG, CHAS GEHRINGER, RUDY YORK ELDEN AULCER, CY PERKINS, MICKEY COCHRANE, JOJO WHILE, GERRY WALKER, BILL ROG, VIE SORRELL, SLICK COFFMAN, ROXIE LAWSON, AL SIMMONS. EACH ON AN INDIVIDUAL PAGE IN A GRAY AUTOGRAPH BOOKLETT. VALUE - PRICELESS!!
He says it was his mother's, but he is not positive on the year. He's asking $1000. I think that might be a bit high. I've included a few pictures that he sent me (everybody always sends me blurry cell phone pictures). Do you think that these autos are legit and that this book is worth pursuing? What do you feel a fair price to offer on this would be? What year do you think this is from? It must have been an accumulation over several years. I don't think all these guys played for the Tigers at the same time. I have my thoughts, but I thought I'd get some opinions from the experts because you guys are awesome. Thanks!!
