[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 243386, member: 59"]This may be irrelevant, but I went back to see whether the answer was in OP. We know that many, if not all, are tacked to some backing with thread. Are they all on separate "pages" or are any grouped? Were they all in some kind of "book?" As much as it might be nice to sell all together, the "subjects" may in many cases be attractive to buyers on their own, but not in the context of such a large group. Perhaps, if it can be done without ruining the hankies, you could make "groups" - radio people, opera singers, men of letters, "Illinois names," for instance, and offer the really big names - Marian Anderson, Zane Grey, for instance - on their own. One underlying problem with autographs is the matter of provenance. And this group really doesn't have any other than what you know about where you got it.[/QUOTE]
