Would love feedback on the value, if any, of my memorabilia collection. Over the last 10 years my wife and I attended many of the top pro tournaments. These include The USOpen 9 ball, Derby City, The Masconi Cup, The Johnny Archer Open, The World Tournament 14.1, many of the Joss 25k added and more. Most promoters advertise using a digital announcement on line that is essentially an online poster. I would get a digital copy and then go to a printer to have a poster made. At the tournament I would get the top pros from over the world to sign the poster, a cue and balls. Before the event I would plan who I would get to sign. The cues generally had lots of open space for autographs. At the USOpen I made sure that Barry signed and so on. Many of the cues have up to 35 signatures with posters often having many more. Not ever tournament has both a poster and cue, but most do.
The posters are now mounted to a poster board, framed and matted, and sealed with museum no reflection glass. The early ones are not done quite as well but still okay. In general I spared no expense to ensure they were done right.
As you can imagine I now have an extensive collection of signed posters, cues and balls. I tried to use better cues. Many of the cues are reverse sneaky Pete’s made for me by Pat Diveney.
I tracked everything on an excel file. Each tournament has a separate workbook showing the players on the cue, poster and balls. There are also worksheets summarizing all information, one showing each player and what they signed and one summarizing by player balls they have signed and one is an index. (I know, I’m kind of nuts lol)
As a side note if you are interested I would be glad to forward you a copy of the excel file. My bet is no one will be but that’s okay. My email is dpena1@yahoo.com
I will try try to post some pictures if I can figure out how.
Thanks for your feedback!
