Help! Need some experienced eyes!

Hi Net54 family...
Local guy has these items that have come down through his family... he assures their authenticity...

Based on these pics... (and his word), would you buy? What price?
Tobacco cards are my thing.. I'm out of my depth here...
(and I'd be willing to sell all of it to interested buyers)...
Thoughts??

Thanks in advance!

Not an expert on The Mick or DiMaggio, so take this with a grain of salt, but I really don't like either of the 8x10's. Oddly enough the magazines of both are spot on and gorgeous examples imo. Brooks is legit and one of the best looking pieces I've ever seen of his (maybe I'm a sucker for Norman Rockwell paintings). Theisman and Unitas are good.

So, based on the above I wouldn't touch the Mantle or DiMaggio pictures. My guess on value would be slightly north of $1,000 depending on the magazines or Rockwell print being more valuable than similar items.

+1. Mantle and Dimaggio photos are indeed bad. I agree the rest are good. I value the legitimate group much less than a grand. Maybe $700 or so IMO.

Agree with the two posts above on authenticity. $600-700 seems about right to me; $250-300 for each mag and maybe $100-150 between the Brooks and Unitas. Theismann has very little value, especially with personalization.

Thx all!!
