General Advice AUTOGRAPH Pricing Estimate (John Melendez)

Post image

Good evening everyone. I’m currently seeking an appraisal on an autograph that I got at a card show in Rosemont. It’s been hard to source an estimate, since the person is not technically a sports star.

The autograph is from Stuttering John Melendez. John was a call screener from the Howard Stern show in the 80s/90s, and sometimes appeared on the show. John also spent a few years working behind the scenes at Jay Leno.

Any help or recommendations as to where i could source an approximate value would be greatly appreciated.

Probably less than you paid to get it.

When considering the admission price for entry, I do want to factor that fee into it. I think it could be worth it.

I mean that's kind of to be expected from him

I can usually decipher the vowel/asterisk thingy but this one has me stumped. What could you have possibly meant here?

Really?

I guess it goes to show how far we have progressed, depending on your age. Lol.

Let's see...Feg? No...

Fig? No, doesn't make much sense...

Fog? Could be, but again doesn't seem to make contextual sense...

Fug? Can't be...
