Is there a market for Nicole Brown Simpson's autograph

I am a long time entertainment autograph collector and my job puts me in a position where we handle material of a collectible nature. It is a retail store and we have handled everything from Sports autographs to political and celebrity autographs.

 A customer came in today with an item that I just could not put a price tag on. It was a blank page from a register book from a ski resort. At the top of the page O.J. Simpson signed with a message "was here 1-21 to 1-27-80" Below O.J. about middle of the page was signed "...with Nicole Brown and we had a ball!!!" ...lastly at the bottom of the page in a 3rd hand, most definitely female writing " ...and with... Kris + Robert Kardasian Beautiful Place + Beautiful Skiing!"    

I know Oj is OJ , his graph is out there and so is Kris' but I have never seen or heard of a Nicole Brown or Nicole Brown Simpson autograph selling.

Any thoughts?  

I promised the customer that I would ask around and see how autograph collectors would respond to this item, and if it was something of interest, as well as see if I could give her an idea of value.

Nicole is certainly a rare autograph, and her untimely murder, followed by the sensation of the trial being all over the news and in the public eye.....I would think there is value there.

I am not trying to be morbid or raise a dispute over wether this should be sold, but I'd like to offer this customer some sound information.

I'm sure there is a market out there for it, just like there would be for Sharon Tate.

True, but Sharon Tate had some fame prior to her death and signed autographs as a celebrity. Nicole Brown's autograph would be much rarer.

Agreed

Not an area I follow, but I think there would be great demand for Nicole Brown Simpson's autograph. Ron Goldman as well.

You'd think they would be exceedingly rare. Perhaps only available on a handful of documents, personal correspondence and greeting cards.

I think the value is multiplied with OJ and Brown on the same item. I would think that someone who followed the original murder trial and all of the controversy since would pay $150 - $300 for the item, although I could be off on that estimate.

Agree it certainly has some collectible merit, but I know that eBay has a strict policy against items & documents associated with violent crimes - which would restrict access to a wider selling venue if they were to ever go that route.

As bad as it may sound, a signed display with hers and OJ's would probably command more money. There is always a demand and I agree with Peter's vauluation

Thanks to everyone who responded. I agree with Steve, that this is quite rare .....I have found no mentions at all, of a piece with her signature ever selling.  The ebay policy is an important piece of info, I will certainly pass it along.
