So assuming the Jordan is good what is that worth?
As for the source my dad bought part of a collection that came from a Dr that worked with the Yankees among other teams. There was lots of odd stuff and a lot of it was personalized directly to him.
He was apparently good friends with Whitey Ford and I had a bunch of odd/neat photos signed by ford. One example is a photo of Ford and Koufax shaking hands with Ford writing "This guy is the worst pitcher in baseball".
I suspect Ford would not write this normally and was just having some fun with a friend. That could make them good, but again they are all personalized to this dr. I probably have about 10 Ford photos like this plus a ball. I have no clue how to value something along those lines.
Both Mantles were part of this group of stuff. I have no doubt that the fords are good as is everything else that is personalized. The mantles stuck out however. I have two nice A-Rod Mariners photos with early signatures, but again personalized to this Dr......
