Just Look At What the Roaches Have Now

[danc]

Single examples of Gwinnett’s autograph have been sold for as much as $150,000. Its extraordinarily high value is a result of a combination of the desire by many top collectors to acquire a complete set of autographs by all 56 signers of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, and the extreme rarity of the Gwinnett signature (there are less than 30 known extant examples, since Gwinnett was fairly obscure prior to signing the Declaration and died shortly afterwards).His autograph today is valued at around $250,000.

Let us guess the final price of this beauty.
I say $420 for an autograph that is valued at $150,000.
Way to go Lee.
BTW - to repeat myself, where is the COA on this one?
I have reference books, one by Hamilton, one by Rawlins, with exemplars.

Could it be that Ted and Chris wouldn't even pass this?

Do these guys desire to get caught?

They have now sold virtually every difficult, rare of a kind and items that the hobby doesn't believe exists and there is only one left.

Williams Shakespeare.

If you are selling $250,000 autographs now, may as well sell one that sells for over a $1 Million, right?

My guess $850 on the Gwinett.

Oh, I feel they can "shill" this up to well over $1,000. I mean the only thing missing is that it is "OK'd by Lee"

I think I'm going to drip and splash a bunch of paint on a canvas and see if the roaches can get Chris or Ted to authenticate it as Jackson Pollock. Hmmm, could be a great way to support my memorabilia habit.

Gwinett. Final price. 885.00, a perfect companion to the Hancock, Jefferson and other DOI signers they have had.

Far as a Shakespeare autograph, I am on the lookout for the following three sigs:

Pontius Pilate..yeah, just for historical reasons
King Herod...same thing
Attila the Hun..

I mean, geez, there can't be a lot of those three around, but Im sure the Coach's crapper has the supply.

I heard that the signature of OGG the first cro magnon man carved on an actual game used hunting speer is coming soon. To top it off...it was also additionally autographed years later by Josh Gibson and Babe Ruth...can't wait!

[tinkereversandme]

I think it comes down to the characters involved here. How brazen are these guys? They have the mindset that they will be able to do this forever and when you have the gaul to throw up a Button Gwinett (among other things), you have to be openly mocking the lack of prescence in the judicial system for this kind of crime. Can you imagine how many returns and complaints they must deal with? After all, if I was stupid and I bought something over there and placed it on eBay or JSA or PSA/DNA and it was pulled or failed, I would want answers and my money back. Of course they will say that these are all opinions, Morales and Taylor are as good as them and they have a vendetta against us, but they must deal with this kind of stuff on a daily basis.

Is that for a flat item or on a ball?
