[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 382587, member: 55"]No argument with baseball. It can be hard sorting the baby from the bathwater though.

Same with the next, and the next, and the next....finally just gave up, discouraged. One problem is that if the person depicted was famous, that sheet music probably sold thousands of copies, and most of them are nearly worthless. But for sure a collector of say, Shirley Temple memorabilia will be aware of the piece of sheet music featuring her that was printed in an edition of 100 before the graphics were changed, and only 3 known to exist, worth $1000 to the right collector...... But the whole problem is figuring that out, when Mom left you 500 pieces of sheet music. About all you can do is put in the time to do the research, focus on the ones with good graphics, celebrities, and such, and see what you come up with.[/QUOTE]
