How much is the autograph worth?
Autograph values vary widely depending what the autograph is on. Obviously, signed photographs are typically worth much more than the same signature on a slip of paper or napkin. Sometimes an unusual or unique image will command a higher price than a commonly found pose. For example, deceased moonwalker Jim Irwin signed freely through the mail and almost always sent the image of him saluting on the moon. Consequently, other single signed images of him are scarce. Irwin's standard white space suit portrait signed typically goes for 10 to 15 times the price of the more common "salute" photo. Can you tell me if this autograph is real?
With signatures I am familiar with, I can usually detect obvious forgeries. If you'd like my opinion on an item, please email me first before sending a scan. If I am not too sure myself I can use a company that I work closely with that does all of our authentication and issues independent COAs. Are you interested in buying...?
We often purchase autographs, but as you would imagine these are purchased at a trade price, we may be able to sell your item on a commision basis, please contact us for details.Can you authenticate and value an item…?Yes. We are fully capable of issuing a COA and a letter of valuation, whether this is for insurance purposes or just for peace of mind. We would have to see the pieces in person. There is a nominal charge for this service. |
