wow what a reflection of an era!!! Were they all collected in the early 80s?

[mandid12]

yes, mostly between 1986 and 1989

If by Barbara Dixon you mean the big-haired singer you've got yourself a fake signature, her surname is Dickson. The answer to your question may well depend on whether you can proof they're authentic autographs

The problem with autograph collecting is there are so many on the market that are false ..Look at ebay..pages of them.Unless you can prove they are genuine then its best to keep then as a happy reminder of that part of your life..There are experts out there who could identfy then as real but its a long shot.

That sort of thing is impossible to value in this context. You really would need to get it professionally examined, and if you have a good provenance (proof that the autographs are genuine) then that would work in your favour.

My 'autograph' book (actually more of a friendship book) is larger than most, about quarto size, and I always try to attach a programme or some such to the page in order to give it a context.

Chaotica, the daft thing is I can prove all the autographs I've got but I wouldn't part with them for the world, no matter how much they were worth.

plus,nearly all of them are still alive,you get more if they are dead.if you had any beatle ones,they are worth money,but the ones you have,not a lot

Thanks everyone. All the autographs are genuine as I collected them myself. Someone offered me �100 for it but I was wondering if I would get more on Ebay
