I think this is the kind of signature that needs to go to auction and see where it lands... there is no "book value" IMO.

Not something I'd be interested in, but I'm curious how this was obtained.

I personally sent a letter with the magaazine to Mr McVeigh when he was waiting execution. I have the envelope and prison documentation that came with the returned signed magazine. At first I wandered if the signature was his but later found a copy of the poem or letter he wanted each witness to have and the signature on that copy matched the magazine. But I have someone interested in buying it but have no idea what to sell it for or if I really wanted to get rid of it!

I would think $1,000+ at least. Rare signature, and by def. a signed photo signed ten days before his execution.

You can't get any more, cause paper burns in Hell...

Not sure why anybody would chase a signature like this. To each his own I guess.

I'd be ashamed to display it. I would have no interest in the signature of the Sandy Hook shooter either. Nor would I ever hang up a John Gacy painting. Just seems kind of creepy to me.

Not to my taste either... I don't want the bad kharma in my home. But I understand some people will collect the nefarious.

If I had money to burn, I'd buy stuff like this and destroy it. Make it as if they never existed. Deny them the fame they wanted.

(No offense to the original poster.)

so no interest in like Billy the kid, dillinger, al capone.  call me creepy then...

Glad to hear no will want something like this...then it may be worth something in the future since no one had the same idea or desire. just like Charles Manson just sold a post card written from him for 700

Thanks for attacking my collection just was curious what it was maybe worth..since it seems like a price guide is not published anymore(not that I am aware of anyway)

You could always try to sell it through R & R Auction.  I'm not sure what the price would be, and I'm not entirely sure that many people could nail down the expected sale price.  Obviously, there are collectors for notorious real-life villains, but this one might be close to recent history to elicit a very enthusiastic response from bidders.  It has rarity going for it, but you have to consider that you might have a very, very limited market for an item like this.

Brian, nobody attacked you or your collection. I said I would find collecting it creepy. I did not say you were creepy. You got defensive pretty quick.....I'm guessing that wasn't the first time you heard it.
