[Billco]

I've just began working on a new website with tips about how and where to find undervalued autographs.

I have a few.

Loretta Lynn's on one of my checking deposit slips

Willie Nelson signed (with black magic marker)
the tee shirt I bought my daughter at that concert . She tossed it to him on stage, he signed and tossed right back to her . Never been worn or washed.

Bruce Hornby signed my "Hothouse" CD and the CD's cover insert.

One of Red Skelton's cancelled checks, 2 of Carol Burnetts'


Cher 4x6 index card

Keith and Mick signed color shot

And my treasure.............
Van Morrison signed black+white shot

( We had Johnny Cash-June Carter signed programs from the '70's.....but they were among our flood losses )

Billco, I'm a regular poster on the m'ding related portions of Treasurenet, and came across your post here.

Question for you: My sisters and I just found our late father's autograph book from his days in Hollywood, as a little boy, from 1941 to '43. He would stake out the movie and radio studios and get autographs back in those days. I'm not much into old movies/stars, so I don't recognize most of these (or they are just scribbles anyhow). But some that I do recognize are: Harpo Marx, Lou Costello, Cary Grant, Charles Coburn, Phil Silvers, etc....

How do we go about valuing these things? Is there a guide to identifying the others? Valuing them all? Is the book more valuable "as a whole", or better to take out the individual pages and sell the invidual autographs individually? Where's the best place to sell?

thanx! Tom_in_CA

OK,how about a personal letter from the FBI,wrote to me ?
It was signed by him, and not his secretary.
This was back in the mid 60s as I recall.
