I have a few autographs from various golfers. Was wondering if you could help me with the value of each of them.

1. An autographed 7" by 5" picture of Natalie Gulbis
2. autographed tournament brochure signed by Nick Flanagan
3. another tournament brochure signed by Aron Price
4. A tournament brochure signed by Ian Baker Finch


If you can help thanks alot.

I have Ian Baker Finch too, along w/ Gary Player on the same Presidents Cup pass/ticket.

I don't think autographed stuff carries much weight anymore, unfortunately. I could be wrong, but I have a Chris Spielman autographed Wheaties box from when he was in High School that isn't worth much. I have a hat from the '88 Masters covered in autographs & a framed picture from the Fred Myers Challenge that everybody autographed. I don't think this stuff fetches much these days.

The best is the autographed 5 pound scottish note from the Open a few years back. What makes it special is that the serial number is in the 6,000 range. I sent 10 notes that I had bought in the open market that had serial numbers in the 180,000 range to a friend of a friend, who took them to Jack, who replaced 5 of them with sequential numbers in the low 6,000's and autographed them. I had them all framed & gave 4 of them to my closest friends, keeping 1 for myself. Hopefully, when my 18 month old son grows up, it will be worth a little for him.

Unless it is Jack, Arnie, or Tiger, there isn't much demand. Gulbis is always a nice one and seems to sell in the 255-40 range for a pic, but even an upper deck authenticated Tiger auto auctions for around 300-400.

I have a signed Picture of Mike Weir, signed picture of Johnny Miller, signed golf ball and caddy bib I wore while caddying for Scott Simpson.

I never really had much stock in auto graphs but as I get older I am starting to like it more for some reason.

I would like to get a Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer signature though.

i have a personalized eldrick sig on a postcard print, also Ernie, DD, Vijay, on balls. Not an autograph but i have a bernie and ruth madoff logo'd golf ball

I have Jack Nicklaus on a Open Tee Time Schedule.

i have a glove signed by phil vijay and furyk

get the autograph for yourself, to remind yourself that you were there and that you had run-ins with the greats, then display that stuff at home or in your club. From my limited knowledge, the really valuable autographs are the ones that come from people who never give autographs, and show up on guest books and checks and the like. I think dying young helps the value as well. I think most modern-era touring pros spend monday through wednesday signing hundreds of things for fans. A hat full of autographs is inherently an awesome thing, and would look good on a bookshelf, but probably has poor resale value. My favorite autographs are personalized to me, which makes the resale value even less, but the display factor is high... also realize that if you have a limited-edition something-or-other, an autograph can hurt the resale value on that as well... better to keep it in mint condition.

FYI. I have a cap signed by Annika Sorenstam, Karrie Webb, Juli Inskter, Dottie Pepper, and Sherri Steinhauer (personal LPGA fave). I never sought out any buyers for it and have no idea what interest there would be in it. I also have an autographed Winged Foot yardage book signed by Tadd Fujikawa from the '06 US Open.

Here are my estimates:

1. An autographed 7" by 5" picture of Natalie Gulbis - $150-$200
2. autographed tournament brochure signed by Nick Flanagan - $2
3. another tournament brochure signed by Aron Price - $2
4. A tournament brochure signed by Ian Baker Finch - $5

You're really right, unfortunately. However, it's not really something that is ever meant to be sold for profit anyways. I've always regarded autographed memorabilia as something personal, rather than professional.

Get some stuff that means something to you, and enjoy them on your wall. Because trying to sell that stuff is probably not gonna get very far, since there's so much false product on the internet.
