Those autographed cards are amazing. That guy needs to get them out of those squeezed holders and get them graded.

$10k-$15k for that collection seems like a ridiculous lowball.

That is EXACTLY what I said!

One of those Gehrig cards could go for $10K+ or more I think...

He signed it while he was still a player?!?!?! One card alone should sell for 20K, on ebay...

Lou Gehrig fans would love this.

Dear Alex,
Would you please sign the back of this letter and then pass it around for your teammates to sign?


I don't see that happening today.

IF that were to happen today you can bet that all you'd get back would be chicken-scratch sigs. Amazing legible auto's! 15K - 20K? Way too low.

You guys do realize that the appraisal was made 5 years ago?


Was it low then?


Also, an appraisal is just that.

One other point, Simeon Lipman (the appraiser) is one of the hobbies good guys.

Had he been asked or shown this today I'm sure his 'appraisal' would be higher.

An Antiques Roadshow Pictorial


Woman brought in a desk in to get appraised at the "Roadshow". Desk was worth $2500, but inside the desk was an envelope with 1885 Chicago baseball opening day material worth an estimated $10,000 to $15,000!












1914 Cracker Jacks "hand-me-down" collection worth about $30,000!





1912 World Series Champs Boston Red Sox Pin





A few other "Roadshow" pics:

You mean 1885?

I always used to enjoy watching those Antiques Roadshow shows on two levels. One, it was interesting to watch what people would bring in, and two, many times, their appraisers would have incredibly optimistic "values" on historical and Presidential autographs (that used to be the main field I dealt in) and would be flat out wrong. I was constantly shocked watching them tell people (in error) how valuable their autopenned and secretarial (although Antiques Roadshow didn't seem to know that) Presidential autographs were. I always wondered if they were any better in the other fields they were giving opinions on.

Lipman flat out lied to me about 15 years ago and got me to buy an item that was a fake. I will actively avoid any auction company he's involved with.
