Yeah I keep wanting to try to catalogue and try to price some of my stuff because my wife will be in for a shock if I drop dead!

Heaven forbid your spouse has to unexpectedly dispose of your collection... the good stuff is easy. Ship it off the a reputable auction house and wait for the checks to arrive.

It's the binders and binders of $5 - $25 items that are very difficult to move.  Collectively they represent a good chunk of change, but piece by piece would be torture to sell. And most dealers don't want to deal with the low end stuff unless they get it for pennies on the dollar.

So I would disagree with the premise of this thread...

The person with the fewest, but most valuable, items wins. The person with the most items loses!! :-)

Its an obsession, I just purchased a Yoda since I didn't have one and a Peter Gabriel album I will show on your thread newest autograph when I get time. I have stopped buying and going for the cheaper type autographs unless its a project I'm working on.

If that is the case ....I lose.

I lost count about 15 years ago at about 10,000 signatures. They range from trading cards to index cards, to 8x10s and 11x14s, posters and more....many multi-signed.

The total is likely double that now, but if I choose a random price like $1000. I would have to guess that under 10% of the collection would surpass that $1000 mark in value.

I haven't been collecting for that long but I have about 150. 80% of which I got IP and TTM. I hardly ever buy any. I buy them when the person is old and I have no chance meeting them.
