Jackie Robinson Autographed Book: Pictures enclosed

Hi,

I'm a coin guy, but I was looking through some old memorobalia in the garage last week. I have an old
Jackie Robinson biography written in 1951 by Arthur Mann. Inside the cover on the first page it says in hand writing:

Best Wishes,
Jackie Robinson

I'm pretty certain my deceased brother met Jackie at at book signing when he was a young boy.

Any ideas what this may be worth and what to do with it? It obviously has not been certified and the book is
turning yellow.

Regards,

Bruce

    Bruce-

    An auction house would probably be the easiest way to sell it, as they would likely authenticate it for you for free (otherwise, you would have to pay ~$75 or so to have it authenticated). It is probably worth $300 - $500, depending on the quality of the book, signature, etc.

    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.
