Answer 1

Hi miss Purplepurp21,

I guess what your friend has is a real "jewel" of baseball Memorabilia, and although giving an estimate over the Internet is somehow inaccurate, let me emphasize the following:


- NOTHING UNDER $2,000.00:

I am sure of it, since it is a picture of those 3 famous players, and above all AUTOGRAPHED by them, it cannot possibly go under that value, which is in my opinion already terribly cheap...


- TOUGH TO GO ABOVE $7,000.00:

At today's quote, taking into account that it is not a whole team but only 3 players, that it might have a little suffered from time perhaps, and maybe there exist similar pics with the same players, from around the same time period and also autographed, it would be a maximum.


- MOST PROBABLY AROUND $5,000.00:

That's what I would pay for it... Another factor could be the size of the picture, some formats are more in demand than others, and also the season in which it was taken (were they winning every single game in that year, or did they suck big time?), do we see something of unusual interest in the details (players wearing special apparel, taken in specific stadium,...), etc.

CONCLUSION:

Anyway that picture or should I say piece of collection is worth a lot, both in Financial terms and in Historical interest. Being the owner of such piece of American History is a priviledge, and I sincerely hope that your friend is not planning on selling it, he or she might regret it for the rest of a lifetime...

I hope this helps, Cheers

It depends on the condition and other factors. Take it to an someone who deals in baseball memorabilia to get an appraisal.
