help valuing autographs

Hi,

I have some autographs of some chess players but don't know their worth. Does anybody out there know how I can get a valuation?

Cheers

im gana say .01 to me its just one more scrap of paper in my houes.

In autograsph book:

geza maroczy, signed 1923

Efim Bogoljubow and Dr.A. Alekhine on a piece of paper stuck into autograph book

postcard stuck in book from 1932 Berne chess comp. signed by:

Grob, F.Gygli, W.Rivier, Sultan Khan, B.Colin, Voellmy, P.Johner, H.Johner, W.Henneberger, Naegeli, Euwe, Staehelin and D.O.S. Bernstein

Wow, thats a pretty awsome collection.

Uau, some of those are quite a piece of autographs!

Their value is more hard to estimate cos it depends, in great extent (besides rarity and strong of the player), on sentimental reasons by the part of the purchaser.  

geza maroczy - Great value (great player, rare autographs), perhaps tops all of those. Wouldn´t be surprised if someone gave 100 USD or even 200 USD for it.

Efim Bogoljubow and Dr.A. Alekhine - Also great value (Alekhine world champion but not so rare autographs) but here cames Bogoljubow (challanger) as a bonus, though not in a book, i would say the set of both has the same value as the marozcy one.

The postcard is perhaps not so value, anyway it contains some great stuff like Sultan Khan (rare) and Euwe (world champion but not so rare autograph), perhaps it could reach 50 ou 100 USD, it´s hard to say...

I could do bussiness with you if i had my pockets more full right now!...

Lawrence Totaro is a well-known collector of original chess photos and autographs. Consider contacting him.

I would think you could get a ton for Alekhine's.

Nice job having all of those!  You're pretty lucky...

F. Gygli is my wife's aunt's father-in-law :).  A Swiss chess master.  Lost to Alekhine everytime they played, I think, but a very talented player, nonetheless.   I might be interested in his autographs.  pm me, and we'll talk.
