Help: Where would I sell baseball vintage autographs from 1930

paftraft · Apr 29, 2010

My father raised in Philly collected many autographs from the great A's teams from 1929-31, mom wants me to see if there is a market for them. Where is the best place to go. 5 Hall of Famers including Lefty Grove & Jimmy Foxx

I would suggest you check with your local sports memorabilia shops or check the net and see if you can find sports memorabilia shows coming to your area.

I recommend an auction house for that. http://www.memorylaneinc.com/ These guys have a big following in the hobby and can help you out.

Have them authenticated by PSA/DNA and if they all pass PM me and I will set you up with a buyer. That will pay you good and buy it all. If you don't want to have them authenticated Pm me and I will give you a email address and you can send me scans and I will see what we can do but you won't get what you would if you had them PSA/DNA. Those auction houses will kill you on fees and I am pretty sure my guys could get you more if they are good.

You can also use a company name JSA to authenticated them. One of my buyers only purchases PSA/DNA but my others respect JSA opinions. If you need more info on how to do it PM me. You maybe able to get JSA to give you a break on the fee's PSA/DNA not a chance on fee break. Just so you don't go in shock the authenticity fees will be about $75 to $150 per item. Don't worry about that because you should be able to make that up when you sell them.

Thanks for the info. I just got this assignment yesterday and have been checking around on the net, it seems Jimmy Foxx's graph is the most valuable. I checked the book and the autographs of the stars are in ink & solid & firm. Not to sound amateurish but how do I PM you. I have no experience in these types of endeavors & hope you can help. I never heard of PSA/DNA or JSA.

On a few sights the price of an index card with Foxx's signature go over $1500 I guess thats what the pros are selling them for not what I could ask for.http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...esult&cd=1&ved=0CBAQBSgA&q=amateurish&spell=1
