I’ve been fortunate enough to own several examples over the years. Duke Slater’s autograph has been highly sought after amongst Iowa and college football autograph collectors for years; well before his recent (and long overdue) induction into the Pro FBHOF. They typically sold for around $2500, more to hardcore Iowa collectors. I anticipate an initial spike in value ($5k is likely), followed by a handful hitting the open market to capitalize.
My personal opinion: He isn’t as rare as some may think. He willingly signed autographs throughout his life until his passing in 1966 at age 67. Not uncommon to hear recent stories of finding his signature on banquet programs or books that collectors paid under $100 for.
