Curious, if you know nothing about musical instruments, what let you to bid $200 rather than say, $50? Where they asking much more? Also, how do you know the autographs are real or not? If not, obviously wasted money. I would be suspicious when someone is selling so many of them so cheaply.


They were asking $300 for the saxophone. I could tell by the quality, it wasn’t some cheap student sax.
If the autographs are fake, oh well, it’s $5, part of the hobby.

It is known that Joe D's sister signed autographs for fan mail requests. Could be her handwriting.


its possible, but it could also be bob delvecchio from scranton PA.

to say one looks like the other, so its legit, is comical...theyre WAY THE frick off

edit - not knocking your hobby bro, you obviously are very good at it...maybe tone down the victory laps though

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


A Joe D cut signature is $100-150 range. Ball would be 300-500. This one doesnt look too bad to me but could be secretarial. id have definitley bought it for $5 with all the others.

If the sax is real, nobody gets to give antique tiger shite in these threads ever again.

What do you mean "if it is real"


It is a real sax, just not the one he linked to.

I think it is still a good deal, I don't know what the market value is though. $500 maybe?

Not sure if the engraving increases or decreases the value either.

I thought $40 for an Atari 2600 would be way too high to pay for. I was wrong. They're going for $200+ on ebay with working controllers.

Did yours come with controllers (nvm, I just went back and saw the controllers in the pic) and have you tested to see if it works? Any games co.e with it?
