Value Help: 1934 Who's Who Book With Autographs

[daves_resale_shop]

I agree that the seperation in the johnson looks a little off... The person that I got the piece from (a friend) had a dealer bring the book to the national to see if it was even "authenticatable" the feedback was yes & that the Johnson looked good, but would come back "traced over in an unknown hand"

As said, the separation looks ragged, and the rest COULD be just a sloppy "trail off" as he was walking to his car or whatever. This Johnson is AWESOME.

That said, still a really cool book. I don't think it would fetch a lot tho, due to the tracing and such.

Due to the Johnson being almost a worthless (but still cool) signature. The rest plus the book might fetch $300. The Arch McDonald can fetch $200 by himself on a nice album page but he is pretty ugly in there from a scorecard and a wierd cut so I would say he is only about $40-$50 in there. You might be able to get more but that is right around where it would end up in an ebay or other online auction.

Rhys, does that Johnson Look ok to you?

My personal guess is that it was signed in pencil and the peson tried to do a decent job tracing over and lost track of what he/she was doing on the last name and messed it up or something. It is impossible to tell without seeing it in hand and possibly magnifying it, but that is my hunch. Since it had no monetary value when it was glued in the book, I doubt it is a forgery and the first name looks pretty good for a trace job. Just a guess.
