[QUOTE="LucyLocket, post: 4328927, member: 13859"][ATTACH=full]355614[/ATTACH] Hello everyone, Looking for a bit of advice - I recently acquired an old autograph book but now I don't quite know what to with it! It was an impulse buy as I thought it was so interesting but now I've had a good look through I really don't need/want to keep it. There are lots of autographs of famous people from the (mainly classical) music world. They are mostly from the 1920s - 1940s. Just a few of the names included: *conductors Henry Wood , Malcolm Sargent & Basil Cameron *soprano Dame Isobel (Bella) Baillie *pianist Leff Pouishnoff also many other musicians, politicians etc. My dilemma is whether to take some of the pages out to try & sell them separately or just sell the book as a whole. There is the slight problem that there are some signatures on either side of several pages so obviously I can't separate those! Many of the autographs are from friends & family and are mixed in with the famous folk. It would seem a shame to split the book really. I am not even sure if there would be a market for the individual autographs - perhaps someone here would know about this? Any help and/or advice would be much appreciated, thank you.[/QUOTE]
