Hi Guys,

There might be another thread with the same name somewhere on the blog, but i haven't seen a thread i can recall that dealt specifically on this topic. And its something i find really interesting and exciting. I think all of us have occasionally come across an amazing autograph, often extremely rare, offered for an unbelievably low price.

Now, im not talking about your average deals here. We come across great values all the time, but coming across items that have a value of 3 to 4 times what you paid for them, if not much more, is more uncommon. And its those that i find so interesting. And i would love to hear what you consider your best "steal" on an autograph.

Mine would probably be my Wes Montgomery "Travelin Wes" gatefold signed mint LP. I purchased this off ebay a couple years back. The guy was selling it for his friend who was a bar manager at a club Wes played at. He had Wes sign the LP and then he put it away. The signature is large for a Wes signature and very bold and distinct. It is the best signature example i have ever seen from him. I paid 200 BIN for it. 

Realistically that item probably would go for 1500 to 2000 dollars at a high profile auction. RR sold a nice full sig Wes photo a while back and it got around 1400 i think. So as far as value, thats probably my best. Whats yours?

I've had a couple of moderate steals. A Bonds game used bat, Munson signed program among others that I paid an extremely low price for :)
Signed Dylan harp $500 worth five times that !!! And real

At least 5 times.

Am I missing something? "Harp" means harmonica, right? I don't see how a signed harmonica would be worth $2500+ unless he refuses to sign them.

My greatest steal would be my free Joe DiMaggio signed bat.

Maris signed MacPhail ball for 12 bucks

beatles signed album pager for 500

2004 Red sox championship team signed ball for 80

Jesus..

I am so sorry I forgot but I do not forget to thank him for all that we have.

again Thanks for pointing this out

Maris ball for 12 bucks...thats just insane !!!

Nowhere compared to Rick's and Terrier's fantastic deals, but purchases I consider nice deals probably would be an Andy Pettitte full signature baseball for $55, Joe DiMaggio signed baseball $160, and Ted Williams with psa/dna authentication for $125.
