Authenticity is Everything
Selling Autographs
I recently inherited a large photo album of celebrity autographs, the person who owned them lived in hollywood for quite for some time. I have Elvis Presley, Marlon Brando, Humphrey Bogart, James Dean, Joan Crawford, Shirley Temple, Elizabeth Taylor and a few others. They are all on 8X10 photos. Are these worth anything? and if so how would i go about selling these. They were all recieved in person, she got the Elvis autograph outside of a concert right when he started getting famous.

These are valuable if genuine, but any that weren't actually signed in front of her have a good chance of being photos printed with the autographs on them, or signed by a secretary. We can help you figure that out.

You will obviously need to have them authenticated if you intend on selling them to a serious collector.

Post a few of them here and some of us, including myself, can opine on their authenticity. That's the first test. Yes, if they're authentic - they're very valuable. Presley, Bogart, and Dean particularly are rare and sought after autographs. Just to give you an idea, you're usually talking about over a grand for Elvis' autograph - and a couple for a signed picture.. Dean's autograph on just a slip of paper can be worth $2,000+. A signed picture is much much more - over $10,000 really.
