Personal autographs

exodia

I am curious, what % decrease on market value to you place on high end HOF autographs that are personalized (i.e. To Betty, Best wishes Babe Ruth)?

What the percent be lower if your name was Betty?

Thanks

Good question exo...

I don't know what the % would be - but from my POV - if it's a really high profile HOF'er from the prewar days - most people will accept the sig and pay the going rate - e.g. Babe Ruth personalized sig.

Now - if ya talking about a modern day sig like Cal Ripken? If personalized? I would say - not in high demand - the actual % drop - I'm not sure - but it could be substantial - e.g. on an 8x10 photo.

BTW - I'm no expert or anything on this - it's just an intuitive guess.

I've always wondered the same thing. I see the Babe's sig personalized all the time, and if there was one to "Don" I think I would be more willing to go after that one just for the novelty. But I am not at all experienced in this endeavor.
