Request for Question Clarification by tutuzdad-ga on 21 Apr 2006 19:58 PDT

As you probably already know, Honus Wagner is a very tricky subject
when it comes to memorabilia. Some of his autographed items are no all
that valuable while some memmorabilia related to him are astronomical
in value. The true value of your autograph will likley require the
opinion of an expert. It could be affected by the nature of the
banquet, precisely when, where and why the banquet was held, the
accompanying signatures and of course the authenticity, visability and
condition of the autographed item.

The best we could give you here is probably a "guestimate range" which
may not even be able to take into acount the current market trends in
this area. If you like, I can point you to the most preeminent
authority on Honus Wagner memorabilia as an answer to your question.
It is important to note that this source specializes in this
particular player and other similar legendary players. If you merely
wish to authenticate and appraise your item they can do that for a
nominal fee and provide you with authoritative documentation attesting
to it's value. On the other hand, this same source will auction your
item for you if you prefer, or in some cases buy the item from you
outright.

If you'd like this contact information as an answer I'd be delighted
to provide it to you.
