I have a few autographs myself. The best thing to do is pick up a copy of Tuff Stuff magazine and in there you will find an autograph price guide for all sports. That must have been an awesome find !!
Be wary of sports cards shops. Some will try and rip you off by offering you less than what it's worth. Look for reputable dealer. Or even contact Mr. Mint himself. He's well respected and does advertise in Tuff Stuff magazine.

sweeet....who is mr. mint? and what are some appraisal services? are they online things where i'd have to send the sticks to them? i am from reading pennsylvania...i realize you guys prolly aren't from around here but if by chance you are let me know of any possible places in this area where i could take it to get appraised....thanks!

look in your local phone book.... or online if can't find anything. But you would take your items to their office or whatever and they would give you an appraised value of what those things are worth. I'm not sure of how much this would cost, but it can't be that much.... They would also probably give you some type of paperwork that would show you its authentic for your records.... If they can't help I'm sure they probably could give you a reference on who to see....

Look in Tuff Stuff and you'll find Mr. Mint in there. Sometimes he shows up at major memorbilia shows. Check him out.
Sometimes if you look in Tuff Stuff you will find reputable dealers in each state in the continental US.

I thought you would have taken care of this already... Don't send the stuff off and don't wait around for Mr. Meaty (Mint) just call an appraisal service, many of them do things like antiques and collectibles. You should have one right in town..I'm next door in Ohio, you could send them to me and I'll do it for you if you would like.

I never said to wait for Mr. Mint ! Just gave some options but not necessarily go with that guy. Yeah any appraisers will do but BE CAREFUL who you deal with !! There are alot of dis-honest dealers all over. Trust me - I've been there and done that !!
