Price Guide Directory
Welcome to the UACC Price Guide! You’ve come to the right place to assist you in placing an approximate value on your own autographs, or potential pieces in consideration for adding to your collection.
Membership includes access to a host of online educational services to help you master the art of autograph collecting.
Show me the money! Welcome to our dynamic price guide experience.
This autograph value guide is meant as a valuable tool to assess what the current market value is for the autograph of a given personality. We’ve branched out into several formats to go into further detail, including: Signature, SP, ALS, and TLS, and DS (read on for a format key identifying each).
Perhaps you’re considering acquiring something in particular, or simply wish to arm yourself with overall pricing knowledge, this should point you in the right direction. Keep in mind, our guide is based on a basic content letter, mid-range condition signature, an overall common and straightforward approach. As we collectors know—content and condition is everything—a George Washington letter mentioning Valley Forge is not the same as a basic non-Revolutionary letter. Similarly, we do not have a MINT 10 Mantle in mind here, just your basic condition, and so on, and so forth.

READING A PRICE GUIDE BOX
These numbers, listed as a price range, were compiled by experts and backed by researching several auction house’s results and are meant to be a loose guide instead of a literal, rock-solid number. Our guide will help new collectors learn that a Marilyn Monroe autograph is worth more than Judy Garland’s autograph, and MUCH, MUCH MORE than Ginger Rogers’ autograph—it’s all relative. Our hope is that this guide will go a long way in educating our community as to the current market of things in our hobby, which, of course, is constantly evolving. We will be adding more personalities each week and welcome you to share your requests for inclusion!
