+1   As a frequent buyer in auctions, I have to calculate the "value" of the item as the sale price, plus commission and any other known fees, as that is the net "price" I am paying for it.  All the other collectors I know calculate things the same way.  Auction houses charge different percentage fees, which I have to take into account, as I can't blindly tell myself that my cost is $100, when there is going to be 20-25% in fees tacked on.  As far as I'm concerned, the total price, including all fees, is what the item is worth, because that is what was paid.

Agreed.  Consistent with this, you are seeing more auction houses publish the “final price” inclusive of these buyers premiums and fees.

A somewhat similar grouping recently sold at RR Auctions for slightly over $1,000 including buyers fees.

Jeff, I'm betting you can sell your signatures here fairly quickly depending what you are wanting for them. Personally, I think they would be a hard sell at $1,000. Obviously, they are genuine or someone would have already pointed that out.

Why not place them in our Buy, Sell, Trade forum and see what responses you get. No selling fee. No waiting. Bam!

I think not 1000$ because the page is in poor condition... great piece for the story and ticket... but not a much good signatures item.

I agree with your assessment, Mojo.

Psa charges $150 to certify Bon's autograph. Is it worth it to get this done for future reference  and would this increase the value of this piece  thanks

Depends on where you are selling it. If you are selling direct, on eBay for instance, you will definitely get your $150 back and it will sell your signatures quicker. A TPA will broaden your market potential.

I would reach out to Roger Epperson at REAL Authentication Ltd. and pay him $15 for his expert opinion.  Roger is a widely respected expert in AC/DC and Classic Rock autographs and if you get a positive opinion from Roger, then that just might be all the added assurance you want or need. Excellent value for $15

If this was my item and assuming Roger gave it the thumbs up, I would then purchase his full authentication which includes his REAL Certificate of Authenticity.
