Another great comment from a reader!


"Just finished your book in 2 days.  Great job.  I've been a collector for well over 20 years, and a full time dealer for more than 10.  I have obtained in person, bought and sold tens of thousands of autographs, but would never consider becoming an "authenticator" because the job description is a joke.  The problems with third party authentication have only continued to get worse and worse.  The more I find out about these outfits the less I trust them."

During his career, Roberts had acquired a Babe Ruth signed baseball, a 1950 National League championship ring and a collection of hand painted game-used baseballs. Because they were not able to decide, Roberts' sons put the collection up for sale. The collection was dispersed in a live auction, conducted by Hunt Auctions. Before the auction the pieces were appraised. Two of the more valued items included Roberts' Hall of Fame induction ring was estimated between $15,000 - $25,000 and his 2008 World Series ring at $20,000 - $40,000.
