🏆 HONORABLE MENTION THIS IS NUTS

A few things to remember about autographs:

It was not uncommon to have a secretary or assistant sign for them and often they were so good at it it is hard to tell the difference. Movie studios employed people whose only job was to answer stars fan mail and sign pictures for them. Yours look to have been collected in person so that is probably not a problem here.

Auotpens are also often used to sign. The way you tell the difference is that autopens apply the same pressure across the signature and the human hand doesn't. Because of the time frame of these signatures that's not a problem here.

The time frame it was signed in does make a difference in the value.

If it is personalized it often reduces the value.

Probably the most important factor in value is content, content, content.

I found Joe and gave it back to him ! He is very happy , his Wife inadvertently donated some boxes of books to the rummage sale and it was in one .
When he was a teenager he was a messenger boy in Washington D.C. . His father worked at the Pentagon just after it was built . When Joe decided to enlist in the Army , Before he left , he went around and collected the autographs .
I asked if I could take a picture of him holding the book - he said ''sure'' .
