Arnold Palmer Question

Hi, what would be a fair asking price for one of these photos? It seems like it would be hard to sell considering they are so personal. Thanks for the input!

I would avoid the top image - too dark and poor contrast. I put a premium on vintage signed unique candids of Hollywood stars. How this translates into a 1990's(?) golf related photo I truly can not say.

Their only value would be to have them cut and slabbed after erasing the personalization. That was likely added by his secretary anyways. After that you have a more desirable piece. As is, $50.

So Bret would have to remove the inscription, crop/cut, add in the cost of authentication/slabbing, shipping both ways...would this be worth it BC? I don't know - sports is not my area.

They were actually signed in person. But it sounds like a hassle for very little profit.

That was my feeling. Thank you.

Unfortunately, that's the case. It's too personal to really attract someone willing to pay market value for his autograph. There is no shortage of Arnie autographs out there since he was very generous when it came to signing. So the items people want are golf balls, flags, or photos of him playing.
