autograph book w/ruth & gehrig rough guess value
Posted By: anthony
a friend of mine has an autograph book that he got from his uncle about 10 years ago. he was wondering what it was worth. he thinks it could be worth about 75K but i think far less. i told him about this site and he's going to try and get me some photos to post. he told me he has babe ruth, lou gehrig and a pitcher named red something or other on one page. lou gehrig is also on another page in the book along with 30 other players from the 20's and 30's. cobb, unfortunately is not included anywhere. i do not think the others are huge stars but he will get me the names later as well. |

He can search Mastro, REA, Heritage auctions to see what cut Ruth and Gehrig signatures are worth. If sharp and clean, those would be worth at least a couple of thousand each. A Gehrig cut signature sold for about $3,000 in the last Mastro Auction. |

here are the names of the players' autographs in the old autograph book. after seeing it first hand, i doubt that any of them are fakes...he would like a rough guess of the auction house value...he's hoping for $50k plus but i dont know enough to say yes...the first group i think are "HOFers", the second group are "notables" as he puts it. |

Value depends largely upon the quality of the autographs. If there are 2 Gehrigs, and the key signatures are all in nice shape (with no visual distractions), I am guessing it's worth $10,000 - $12,000. |

Man, Lister Beep is one of my all-time faves! He always came through in double-play situations with Joe Schlabotnick! |

The Maranville sig on the green page has been traced over, effectively killing its value. |

Those additional pages are nice, but do not add a ton of value, I'm afraid. The Rabbit Manville at the top of the one page appears to be traced over (pen on top of pencil). |

definitely doesnt add to the value by tracing over signatures. unfortunately, my friend or actually longtime co-worker who we have a lot in common, thinks it could fetch $50k or more...i told him my initial guess was between $6-10k but he thought that was low, i'll give him everyones opinion which seems to be a fair estimate of somewhere between $10k-15k...i went through the sigs again and couldnt find walter johnson, i'm wondering if i'm missing a page, that would be nice to see. i actually have 2 of the same page, i'll see if i can get a copy. |

Anthony... Has your friend indicated what his $50K estimate is based on? Does he have a factual basis or appraisal, or is it more wishful thinking? |

he's basing it off of his own value to the whole book with "those" kinds of names...i didnt know 25% of them...but he saw a replica bat with Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig's stamped signatures for sale in Las Vegas of all places asking $10k....so the sigs if "cut" would bring close to $50k...1 ruth and 2 gehrig...$10k a piece, then the rest of the book....i explained that everything in vegas is overpriced because they are hoping you will impulse buy if you win big at craps...really wishful thinking...sorry to say |
