Value of Les Nunamaker signature?

[prewarsports]

The vintage autograph market is strong, but VERY thin. A rare signature can be $1000 to the first guy, then $700 to the next guy and then once those two have him, it can be a tough sell for a few hundred bucks. I know of 3-4 Nunamakers and I had never seen the impressive team sheet David posted. If this was the first ever found, I would think $1000-$1500 would be a realistic asking price but once 3-4 have made their way into the advanced collections, you will be in the $400-$500 range I would think if you could even sell it for that. You never know, just an estimate, but I would think that is a fair analysis.

Rhys stated my thoughts better than I did.

Actually Fred, I thought your comment that history doesn’t resonate with younger collectors was also great. I think it helps explain the decline in early books also.
