I am looking to find out what this may be worth. I am wanting to sell it. I received it from Charles Ursetti who attained all the signitures. I have the envelope he sent me and a personal note. Thank you

Not to mention the fact that Fats never signed his name...he used a rubber stamp!

That doesn't look like his rubber stamp. May be wrong but way big to carry in your pocket like he did.

He had to learn how to write "Minnesota Fats" and would occasionally sign something like this. He wrote slowly since it wasn't natural for him. He was basically illiterate and became a millionaire and world famous. Go figure!

I have this signed cheapo cue along with provenance from the event...

He did sign but, as stated, it was rare.

No idea on the value of your memorabilia, Deacon, but it is very nice. :cool:

best,

14 signatures on a poster, most likely all players are gone.
How about $700-$1000

I have several cueballs signed by many HOF players and a few rogues that now are gone.

What are they worth? About the worth of the cue balls....

I would suggest that this isn't worth $100.

I remember Freddy the Beard selling signed cue balls for something like $20 each. He had sets of balls each with a pro’s signature from a pro tournament in the hundreds $

Yeah but IIRC, he did it ONCE and never again, kinda implying they didnt sell too many.

Once they auctioned off a Beautiful simple Jack Justis case that people were paying $250 for. They got all the top players that were at some big event to sign it and it brought quite a bit less than $250-Maybe $215 or less. Now these guys being dead and some being legends-to the RIGHT BUYER, as they say, You might get $300 and im pretty sure you would have to auction it here to get that. No one else on earth cares.

This is not true, in fact I have a poster where he signed he actual name Rudolph Wanderone. It's funny what a cute little waitress can get a guy to do

Not to you , to someone who collects it is worth maybe 400.00 or 500,00 it's a real shame that the pool player autographs are usually much rarer than almost any other sport yet hardly anyone is interested in them and no one really wants to pay anything for them.
I have a collection of the best players from the 70s to about 2010 hundreds of the greatest players and characters, that I asked for each one myself except the Mosconi , a friend got for me. Whats it worth ? Who cares , I had a million dollars worth of fun talking to most of them.
Whats a Balabushka worth to me? Unless I had someone to double my money off of , not much . I have hit with quite a few and they all felt like ball bats to me .
Just depends what floats your boat
