| This is
a Paul O'neill Autograph signed on a book cover.
This autograph was obtained in a personal book signing
that I witnessed so if you are using it to compare to
one you are purchasing feel safe that it is authentic.
Keep in mind that autographs can vary slightly. If a
ball player signs 1000 autographs, the first one might
be slightly different than the 1000th. so look for
certain characteristics. Also Like in the case Of Mickey
Mantle his Autograph is different at the beginning of
his carrier than it was later in his life. so the Date
the Autograph was signed is also important. This
autograph was purchased at a very low price because Paul
was promoting his book "Me and My Dad". But
Paul is currently (2005) signing flat Items for $100 to
$150 for Equipment. You can pay as high as $300 to have
a Bat signed purchased at a signing. Pre signed
Items sold by Companies such as Steiner
Sports could go for $150 - $350+, depending on the Item.
TIP!
Don't Forget to keep your
Autographs Away from a lot of Light, especially sun
light! Even reflected sun light will take its toll. Autographs on Baseballs signed in Ink
(blue ball point pen) have
proven to hold up better than Sharpie. Also be aware of
team signed balls from the old days, in that on occasions,
Club house people sometimes signed for a player that was
not present. These autographs are collectible too, but
not the real deal.
