Those items look awesome. Is the Challenger letter signed?
Edit: I can see the signed page through the first page. Very cool if it’s hand-signed.


I haven’t looked closely, but I think the signature is stamped

That DiMaggio auto doesn't look legit.

If it is legit and you can get it verified then it is easily get more than what he spent. To get something verified it isn't all that expensive either as I've done it from shite I got while attending those LSU baseball clinics

how much is the sax worth?


ebay.

Probably a Conn sax. They are silver plated, not crazy rare. You pay a bit of a premium, but will probably take a few hundered to get it to playing condition.

It looks very legit, but it’s not very valuable, maybe $20-$25 because it’s just an index card.

A verified Joe D autograph goes for 200 easily

He's posted pics of his garage before. I don't begrudge him his hobby, and it's cool if he comes out ahead (although if he enjoys it, who cares), but it's pretty obvious that he winds up collecting a lot of junk.

No fricking way a legit Joe D autograph goes for $5



It's amazing how worthless an autograph becomes when it's not on something interesting. On a baseball probably worth hundreds...on a random slip of paper... $5 seems about right

Last year was a strange year, the best year I ever had. I bought so much shite, I decided to have a garage sale and get rid of the shite I never listed. I sold everything (and I mean everything) for $900. My garage sale started Friday, and by Saturday morning at 8am, I was sold out.

He did virtually nothing the last half century of his life except shoot Mr Coffee commercials and sign autographs. I'm sure there are thousands out there

Exactly

Plus, if someone is going to forge a DiMaggio autograph, they aren’t going to put it on an index card. They gonna forge a baseball card, photograph, etc.

I love the Bob Hope autograph. I’d frame it and hang it.

I tend to agree. It's the sort of thing where unless it's signed to me or I obtained it myself... who cares?

I don't understand the appeal of buying something that someone else had signed, but hey, to each their own.

It is almost certainly a fake. Look at this PSA certified Dimaggio autograph and compare:

Go look at all his autographs. There are several different styles. This one on that ball was probably done in seconds, it’s very sloppy. There are some that are very nice and neat.
