Well,
Asking about specific item values isn't really what this thread was meant to be about. I am looking for the board to weigh in on the idea of relative value between vintage and non vintage signed items of the same player.

Any other knowledgable autograph veterans care to weigh in?


PS: PUP, Are you sure the signed item is from KC? Rizzuto, Mantle and Mize were never together in KC. Rizzuto plyed over 100g in 1939 and in 1940. Mize played 26g in 1950. Mantle played 40g in 1951. In 1950 he was in Joplin for 137g. They were together on the Yanks team from 1951-1953. Also Tom Morgan never played with Rizzuto in KC. (All data from Baseball Reference website.)
Also, I think the Mantle would be more valuable if it were on an item directly traceable to KC, like a program, etc. As it is, it is indistiguishable from any early 50's Mantle sig. It's rare as it is, but on a minor league item, I def think it would be even more rare and more valuable.
