What are these HOFer autographs worth?

A former ballplayer I know is thinking of selling a couple of signed items. Just wondering if I could get a ballpark estimate on what these items are worth or would sell for. I am not looking to buy them, rather I would be helping him sell them.

Satchel Paige guest book page (I am assuming he signed a registry of some sort).

Rogers Hornsby signed contract releasing him from that team.

Tom Yawkey signed contract transferring him to another team.

I have not seen the items. All I know at the moment is they are signed in pen and the signature is strong (in his opinion).

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Bryan,

If you would like fill out a form on my website and send any other information you can about the items including dates of the contracts. Also scans and pictures would be very helpful and would help determine a more accurate estimate. I do know if the Page signature was on a contract that would be a very rare piece, try and fine out what he did sign

Rough off the cuff pricing and assuming strong signature and all that-- The Paige could be over $100. His signature is somewhat common, but very popular. The Hornsby would perhaps several hundred dollars. Hornsby is a tough and desired signature in any form, including cut and index card, and a signed MLB contract would be both highly desired and rare.
