A) Is this real?
Can anyone help identify the sigs on the back? I can see Mantle, Unitas, Arcaro (and Joe D on the front)
C) What could this be worth?

<< <i>In the early 1970's the Deltona Corporation held an annual memorial pro-am golf tournament in his honor at the Island Country Club. The Tony Lema Memorial Tournament was attended by many sport and entertainment celebrities. Mickey Mantle, Johnny Unitas, Stan Musial, Don Shula, Bob Griese, Ralph Kiner, Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Bear Bryant, George Blanda, Perry Como, Gene Sarazen, JC Snead, Lee Trevino, James Garner, and even Evel Knievel were on hand to play golf, socialize ,and sign autographs for residents. >>
Personally, I wouldn't value it that highly.
The sigs are good.
But, I'm in agreement on the value and the way the sigs are placed - not excited about it.
Probably would have more value to a golf tourney guy tho?
Also, not sure if a 600$ item is a fair trade?
collecting RAW Topps baseball cards 1952 Highs to 1972. looking for collector grade (somewhere between psa 4-7 condition). let me know what you have, I'll take it, I want to finish sets, I must have something you can use for trade.
looking for Topps 71-72 hi's-62-53-54-55-59, I have these sets started
I'd counter with 500.00 firm.
DiMaggio is on the front by himself, that's at least a 300.00 item and it's from 1977 before the prolific forgers of his name surfaced.
On the reverse you have Mantle and a host of others. Mantle is at least 150.00?
So depending on what I had in the trade item, I might make this trade.
It also depends on what the trade item is too.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

<< <i>Problem is, it looks like the mantle is signed right behind the Dimaggio. Not likely to be able to get 2 different cuts out of it. If you planned to dice it up. >>
Since you brought it up, that would actually make it nicer - to have a cut with DiMaggio on the front and Mantle on the back. But how big do you think this whole thing is? This thing should not be cut up. I'd just get the entire thing slabbed in a blue flip and be done with it. Any signatures not specifically identified by PSA/DNA on the label could be printed on a small sticker and affixed to the outside of the slab, strategically placed so it doesn't obscure any of the autographs. It's a nice piece.
I agree with WinPitcher that it depends on how much you have into the $600 item and what that item is. It's not an insane trade.

From what I saw on PSA's site, it would cost around $150 to get slabbed, is that right?
An item with 5-19 signatures and a premier autograph with an authentication rate of $100 will cost a total of $100 according to the chart.
Included in the authentication price (because it's $50 or more) is a choice of either a full Letter of Authenticity with certification label placed on the item, or encapsulation. If you want both the letter and encapsulation, that's an extra $10, and if they're done at the same time, there will be no certification label placed on the item. The number printed on the flip takes care of that. Personally, I'd just get it slabbed and not bother with the letter.
$75 on top of that if you want the autographs graded with a number printed on the flip. The grades will be averaged into a single grade. They don't get individual numbers.
Plus return postage.
