Old Autograph Books with Rodeo, Wrestling and Country Music Stars

I have an old autograph book. It actually has "Autographs" engraved on the cover, and it is rather small. It has many signatures, some I can't make out. Some have been cut out from somewhere else and pasted onto the pages.

The ones that I can make out are Skeets McDonald, Bobo Brazil, Wilbur Snyder, Wild Bill Cody, Vic Christy, Billy Varga, Juan Sepeda, Dr. Lee Grable, Texas Tiny, Beverly Wallace, Delores Hauser, Joyce Beasley, Billy Bogash, Ruth Sandy, Jamie Maxian, Faron Young, Myrna Jay, Ernest tubb, Rose Maddox, Buck Owens, and Eddie Dean.

I bought this on eBay awhile back. I was looking at Buck Owens auctions.

The book itself is in good condition. I paid $20 for it, so its not like a have a lot to lose.

You've found a nice book - certainly worth the $20 that you paid for it. I recognize some of the wrestlers and country stars. The names indicate that it is from the 1950's. Skeets McDonald was a rock-a-billy/country singer. Buck Owens was a major country music star. Most people today remember him from the TV show Hee-Haw. Ernest Tubb and Faron Young were also major stars. Texas Tiny was another country singer. Eddie Dean was a singing cowboy in the movies. From that group Ernest Tubb is probably the most valuable. A signature is worth around $25. Buck Owens is worth a little less, but values should rise over the next few years. The rest are worth in the $10 range. Country stars have always been generous with their autographs, and that has kept even the most legendary performers relatively cheap.

Professional wrestlers are also usually generous with autographs and they are very approachable in public. You have some big names (in their time) stars in your book. Bobo Brazil was the biggest black wrestling star of his time. Billy Varga wrestled as Count Billy Varga during most of his career. He also appeared in movies and TV. Dr. Lee Grable was a minor wrestling star and a legit physician. Collectors of wrestling autographs are a small group, but they are serious about their hobby. The wrestling autographs might bring $5 - $10 each.
