I just got email about a 19th century sports autograph book. I sure hope that's not it. What a let down if it is.

It looked they were area also announcing something tomorrow.

I don't think this could possibly be it since it looks like they are selling the pages of the ballplayers individually (unless I read it wrong.)

It can't possibly be, after what Ken has said about it.

Something about a book of members of congress....I agree...what a let down.

That autograph book looks amazing, but I dont care if you have every 19th century autograph of everyone who ever played the game, you are not getting anywhere close to eight figures. Even the rarest names have come down in the last ten years. An autograph book like that (unless there are multiple books) could hold maybe 100-200 signatures so the math is just not even close. I follow that area of the hobby quite extensively and it just does not generate the prices other stuff does with the exception of maybe 5-10 big names.

REALLY COOL though.

After all the speculation - THAT is the "8 figure" lot - time will tell. As a couple have already suggested (more of a lay opinion here) - I don't see close to 8 figures - unless of course "figures" refers to 8 presidents living during the time the autograph book is from!

Like a joke - if you have to explain it......

Rumor is that they found a semi truckload of items that were being sold by Goldin on HSN 20 years ago. They are easily worth 8 figures.

Apparently he's not announcing it until September 6 now.

As long as there are least five zeroes at the start of the 8 figures.

The way Goldin has built this up... claiming it will hit 8 figures... there is no way we will be disappointed. It's going to be something incredible, but I have no idea what

Fact Check: Did Goldin claim it will go for 8 figures, or is that just something said in jest in this thread that has been perpetuated?

Not to discount it, but 2nd hand.

That is definitely not Goldin's 8 figure announcement.
