Question for peeps with autograph knowledge

[Hullfan]

What is the going rate on a Big Mac autographed 8x10. I picked one up at an auction at a golf tournament here in St Louis. Had a few beers and threw a bunch of bids in on stuff. I got an email today that I had won the McGwire autographed photo. I am just trying to figure out how bad I did. I hate comparing autographs on ebay because I am leary of most stuff on there, so anyone with some knowledge on this let me know.

Try steiner or something

I'll try them but they always seem high to me. And not in the good way

like $50 certified

Is it authenticated with UD or Tri Star or anything like that? Those are only ones where you can resell them for decent money. His cert autos still sell decent. Otherwise it's just basically a in person auto that has no real value outside the person who got it that knows it's real.

Also have heard Big MAC has been a very good signer in person now that he is back in baseball. So his auto isn't as tough to get as it once was.

$30-$90. Depends on picture, authentication, and autograph style.

With the wave of stuff he signed in Spring Training, people I trust were selling balls for between $100 to $150. So IMO, an 8x10 would be in the $50 to $75 range with good pedigree. Certified UD and Steiner stuff would probably be at around twice as much on the open market. PSA/JSA stuff somewhat in the middle.
