What is the value of Mickey Mantle's autograph on an album cover called The Greatest Baseball Collection of Music?

Answer 1

I am not familiar with the record called "The Greatest Baseball Collection of Music" I know of a record called "Baseball's Greatest Hits" and a record featuring Mickey mantle called "My Favorite Hits" Mickey Mantle a 1958 RCA Record. The record itself could effect the value of the signature in the way it displays the signature, and it's connection to Mickey Mantle. A record cover featuring a picture of Mickey Mantle will be more desirable.

A collectible record can add some value to the signature to a degree of being more desired by a collector to display the signature but, once the collectible record is signed it becomes a display for the signature and could lose it's value as a collectible. The bulk of the value will rely on the value of the signature. The condition of the album, the condition of the signature, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature as well.

Without a letter of authenticity from a reputable company you could land up with half the market value or less. The ink used to sign the album is important. You would want a color that will stand out in contrast to the item signed. The signature should be strong, and bold, as opposed to faded and hard to see.

In general I would price the signed record as the value of a large signed photograph, adding extra value if the record is desired, and displays the signature well. That would put the value at about $160.-$240.

Desired albums or records might also include; 1973 50th Anniversary Yankees Stadium Record, Joe Garagiola "That Holler Guy," June 8, 1969 Mickey Mantle A Day To Remember, or Willie Mickey & "The Duke" (Talkin' Baseball) For more information on these records visit the links I left below.
