I'm a publication guy, not an autograph guy, so here is my opinion fwiw..... I actually think that you did very well with it. The program without autographs is a $50 to $100 program at best. It looks like you had 7 or more different bidders, so to me you had good interest from different buyers.

I think that you should have included Brooklyn Dodgers & New York Yankees in the title. Both Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers are very popular searches. Perhaps the cover being clubhouse signatures combined with authentic autographs on the back even with the authentication is a turnoff? Why only 3 pictures? I would have shown pictures of the condition of the inside and when I auction a ws program I always include the team photos. I also think that because the Cy Young autograph is on the back, it makes the piece difficult to display.

Just my 2¢.

Jeff
