Default Baseball Autograph Book from 1941-1942

Hey guys, I just thought this is something fun to share, and I haven't found anyone with as much interest in it as me.
I was given an autograph book my grandfather had. The book itself is in pretty poor condition but there are these pages that survived.

I believe all signatures are from 1942 Spring Training (in Florida; Tampa/Clearwater area)

There are more than 80 signatures in this book including 9 HoF—Mel Ott, Casey Stengel, Pee Wee Reese, Stan Musial, Lloyd "Little Poison" Waner, Paul "Big Poison" Waner, Ernie Lombardi, Enos Slaughter, Billy Southworth, also Hiram Bithorn (the first player from Puerto Rico) and more. Both MVP and "Top Pitcher" (no Cy Young awarded yet) of the year.

There's a Stan Musial that is before his 1942 rookie season. He played only 12 games, in 1941, at this point. This is probably worth the most if I were to guess; since it is one of his first autographs he'd signed.

Also it being 1942, it's pre-war and a majority of these guys went to military service after this.

Instead of a bunch of images, I made this giant collage for now.
I believe all are identified now!






I don't know what something like this could be worth. But I'm really curious what it could draw. It'd cost a thousand to get it PSA authenticated and that's not worth it to me (when I know firsthand he didn't forge them too.) Right now I have no intention on selling it, I like having it. But I'd also like to know what sort of interest it draws too, and if there's a ballpark figure I could put on it.

EDIT:
