The value of an autographed Russell photo can change from picture to picture. Tied to this, is the source of the autograph. Writing to the actor, or his agent, may garner a generic photo that is a reproduction and has been mass-produced. In essence, the value of this rests with the person receiving it. Collectors will have no interest in the item. The higher value photos are those that have been signed specifically by Russell Crowe. This signature can be obtained at different publicity events, and if he is willing to sign. An alternative is to mail the photograph to the actor and ask that he sign and return it, but it may or may not be returned. If you have an authenticated signature on the photo, its value will depend on who and how many people are interested in buying the picture, and where Russell Crowe is on his popularity cycle.

Baseball memorabilia associated with Babe Ruth are some of the most desirable items in the sports collectibles world. His autograph is in high demand, and items signed by him are in even greater demand. There are some things to consider when buying or selling his autograph. The first is the condition of the autograph. Signatures can degrade quickly and the more difficult a signature is to distinguish, the less valuable it is. Second, the item signed plays a role. Did he sign a ball from the gift shop, or did he sign a game ball; a program or a World Series program? Also, if his signature appears with other Yankee luminaries, the value of everyone’s signature increases. As added security, insist that the signature be authenticated by a recognized agency.

Items autographed by LeBron James may be an excellent investment. His signatures, either alone or on items, does not command as high a price as it may in the future. The biggest contributors to its increase in value will be if he is inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame (the odds are quite good on this) and if he wins an NBA Championship (still to be seen). If both events occur, and LeBron James continues to perform as projected, then it can be reasonably expected to see his stock rise. If you have one of his rookie cards, it is not a good idea to have it autographed. Instead, get his autograph on a plain piece of paper or in an autograph book. Autographing rookie cards hurts the value of both the card and the autograph.
