Jonathan, Randy and Hank, I appreciate the responses.
Separating them out was a thought, but the pricing for the individual pages does not seem to be all that great. It seems that outside of people specifically looking for early Jackie items (who may favor the whole yearbook), people prefer the "Jackie Robinson" signatures over "Jack Robinson." I wonder if they would get $2000 each if sold separately.
A Pasadena yearbook signed three times recently sold for $7100 ($8760 with BP). Not sure whether that represented the height of the market, but I don't know that the individual ones would sell for more separately.
Randy - I think in general a UCLA items goes for more than Pasadena. Even though Pasadena is earlier, UCLA has a much larger following, and the signed UCLA items are rarer than Pasadena (where he appears to have signed for many others).
