American Legion Children's Home

by Lori
(Ponca City, OK)

Hi, my name is Lori and I work for the American Legion Children's Home, a non-profit home for children that have been abused or neglected, in Ponca City, OK.

In the early 1990s, our home acquired many autographs through talent agents, etc for the purpose of holding a silent auction. Auction prices did not reach what the administration wanted, so many of the autographs were stored away.

We are currently looking for some approximate prices so we can sell the autographs we have and use the funds for the kids that live on our campus. Here are a few of the autographs we have (not all - most are publicity photos signed in sharpie or silver sharpie):

Betty White (signed book about pets)
MASH Script signed by either cast or some crew
Johnny Bench
Clint Eastwood
John Ritter
John Candy
Tim Salmon
Hakeem Abdul Jabbar
Gregory Peck
Merle Haggard
Tim Browning
Jimmy Stewart
Lauren Bacall
Steve Martin
Michael Andretti
Mario Andretti
Charleton Heston
George Foreman
Dean Martin
Robert DeNiro
Wayne Gretzki
Muhammad Ali
Whoopi Goldberg

We have many others, but I tried to name the more prominent ones. Any help would be appreciated

Sincerely,
Lori Henderson

Autographs

Estimates for authentically signed photos:

Johnny Bench - $30
Clint Eastwood - $100
John Ritter - $125
John Candy - $125
Tim Salmon - $50
Hakeem Abdul Jabbar - $125
Gregory Peck - $400 -
Merle Haggard - $50
Jimmy Stewart - $350
Lauren Bacall - $50
Steve Martin - $75
Michael Andretti - $35
Mario Andretti - $50
Charleton Heston - $175
George Foreman - $75
Dean Martin - $300
Robert DeNiro - $100
Wayne Gretzki - $225
Muhammad Ali - $250
Whoopi Goldberg - $50

The value of the MASH Script is contingent on who signed it and whether or not it is an original script or a copy. If the main cast members signed, it is worth more than $250, regardless of the cast at the time and assuming it is a copy.

The Betty White book is worth somewhere in excess of $50. It might bring a good bit more than that at this time, considering how popular she is now. After she leaves the spotlight, it will probably not bring $50.

All of those are retail prices, what the typical dealer would charge.
