Paul Newman Autograph

I was working security at a race track. I was in a tunnel where the drivers would pass through. A car pulled up and it had to stay next to me for a few minutes. It was Paul Newman and his wife. I know he doesn't sign anything, but anyway I asked him if he would sign my CART race cap. His wife rolled her eyes. He said OK, but I had to put it away and not say anything. I showed it to my best buddy and then put it away for safe keeping. What is it worth?

starstarstarstarstar 		Paul Newman Autograph
by: Bill

You are right. Paul Newman rarely signed autographs. Very few celebrities hated signing more than he did. I assume that his wife who did the eye-rolling was Joanne Woodward. Newman and Woodward were married for fifty years. Woodward was an accomplished actress, and she was actually very good about signing autographs. Maybe she was rolling her eyes because she knew how much her husband hated signing for you.

You have a unique item. Newman had a long association with racing and became quite good at it. It was his starring roll in the movie Winning that piqued his interest in the sport. So your race cap does have relevance.

Paul Newman is a hard to find autograph. A signature is worth $200. A signed photo is worth about $500. Your cap should fall into that range somewhere near the middle.

The story of how you obtained Mr. Newman's autograph is interesting, but with forgeries abounding it would be wise to find third-party sources to help authenticate. If there were photos of Mr. Newman at the track that day, news articles, etc. AND you have documentation that you were there on the same day, that makes the provenance more than your word.

I have race photos that Newman signed. Would the value still be the same? I can't find any race pics that was signed by him online anywhere. What if it was signed "to" a specific person? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A racing photos would probably be worth about the same as his other signed photos. The inscription probably doesn't affect value in his case.

starstarstarstarstar 		Signed Program for Paul Newman Cooking Competition
by: Anonymous

I am a violinist and once performed for Paul Newman's cooking competition about 17 years ago. I certainly remember meeting him, but had forgotten that he autographed his Competition Program for me until I was cleaning through some old drawers. What do you think that might be worth?
