Value???

i am not much of a football collector but i have a 1996 super bowl coca-cola party poster signed by roger staubach, jim kelly, john elway, drew bledsoe, howie long and warren moon. i received the item from my high school girlfriend's father who was a regional vp for coke. he had it hanging in his office with thumb tacks. naturally, there is some damage along the edges. i took it to a local dealer whom specializes in custom framing. he is going to get it framed and matted for me for $75. i had an offer at the shop for $300 once it is framed. is that reasonable or could i expect more? also, i have another poster from 98 which is a little rougher. it is on a heavier stock and some of the creases have resulted in discoloration. however the autographs (lynn swan, jack ham, warren moon and gale sayers) are unaffected. since it is on a heavier stock, i am kicking around the idea of cutting the sigs out and trapping them behind a mat with an 8x10...would it be worth the trouble? thanks in advance!

I wouldn't sell that for $300 if it was mine once it's framed. You have 5 HOFers and Bledsoe on there, and he certainly wasn't a scrub. I would want at least $375-400 for it.

The 2nd poster is just as good, maybe even better, as Lynn Swann is a RARE signer. His autos alone sell for over $150.

thanks for the info man! what do you think about cutting up and matting the sigs on the other poster?

If it was mine and didn't want to keep it intact, I would cut each one out and frame them individually below an 8x10 of the player.

that what i was figuring...the shop owner said they could smooth out the crease and possibly touch up the discoloration but that seems like a pain in the arse. thanks for the help and i'll be sure to post a pic once it arrives.

No problem. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.
