Default Looking for help with values on autographs from a 1950's scrapbook

I don't actively collect autos and have no idea on prices. I have done a little research on some of these but the prices seem to vary a lot depending on the item and the auto's.

An older friend has this scrapbook from his childhood and he is trying to mgive it to me but I told him I think it's probably too valuable to be giving away.


Here are some of the items in it. He acquired all of them through the mail or in person.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Of the lot the Speaker items are the nicest. The Cy Young autographed 3 x 5 may be the autograph of Cy Young the multisport athlete from Washington and Lee University not the HOF baseball player. The Lajoie and Mack are also nice but have some condition issues. I agree the lot is too valuable to give away.

Lol tough being a Friend sometimes. Someone is going to chop rhat book up and sell the Autographs for serious dollars. A good batch are on index cards mounted with corner hinges. They should come out easy enough and comps for signed index cards are available. Pictures are better. Any pages signed with multiple signatures are tough to price but these all look like singles. So a little research and maybe hand it off to Love of the game or another auction house that can show it some love and break it up and get your friend maximum payout.
Just my opinion

Seeing autos in person is always better, though you did provide some nice pictures of the signatures and great names. The pictures you attached are clear enough and present well to research and value based on what you provided. If your friend is wondering what value these might bring or maybe you would like to know as well, try getting together to talk. Would be best to get COAs for all of these and then decide, maybe he could still keep a few if he has interest, help him and see what happens.

Be the friend first and do some research for him - Good Luck!

We are always here to help too!

Thanks for the help guys. Jimmy he's in his 80's and doesn't have any interest
in keeping the album and was trying to give it to me but I told him I was going to get an idea on the value. I'm going to tell him what I initially thought that he's better off selling it. I did do some research first but the Mantle photo's have a wide range in prices.

The Mantle may be a pre-print. If not, it dates to the late 50's which makes it much better than his card show version which he signed a ton of. The others look good except for possibly the Cy Young index card. The grouping obviously has some good value

Thanks Randy. The Mantle photo is from the 50's he's moving with his wife
to a single level home and the album was in the attic for 60 years.

Here's a couple more photo's.

Is the Mickey Mantle postcard sized? If so, its likely the 1958 Holiday Inn issue with a facsimile autograph. Or if its larger its likely the same image used.

The Mantle is the “proof” version of the Holiday Inn premium photo. It is a pre-printed signature. Haven’t been following the market but PSA doesn’t grade that version and so I’m not sure it has a ton of value ($50?).

Thanks for the help everyone. I have found out the Mantle auto is preprinted and that the single Cy young isn't his signature. I did ask my friend again about the Young and he said he got it through the mail around 1950.

Here are a few more signed items in the book.
