Autographs

[9.3]

Back in the ‘70s I collected autographs in my little notebook. I have:

Ronnie Peterson
James Hunt
Jochen Rindt
Pedro Rodriguez
John Miles
Gerry Marshall
Francois Mazet
David Piper
Tetsu Ikuzawa
Reine Wisell
Chris Craft
Tim Schenken
Emerson Fittipaldi
Derek Bell
Jackie Stewart
Denny Hulme
Jo Siffert
Jo Bonnier
Vic Elford
RRC Walker
Hannelore Werner
Bev Bond
plus a couple of others I can’t decipher!

Decluttering before I drop off this planet, would this notebook have any value anywhere? Do people collect autographs anymore?

After seeing this at an auction over the weekend I would say yes people still collect autographs.

Wow, that’s quite the price.

Autographs of people who won’t be signing any more of them are always worth something. The book from the OP sounds like it would make for quite the auction item, given that most of the signatories are now dead.

Yes people do.

I recently got a signed Schumacher piece from a shop in Maranello along with a Mick Schumacher piece and a Charles Leclerc piece for my sister.

If the driver isn't able to sign anymore the value goes up instantly.
