Members Richard King Posted February 19, 2011 Members Share Posted February 19, 2011 Sounds similar to when I bought a stack of 300 records at a garage sale for $20.00. I got them home and started going through them and found a New Orleans Jazz album with a bunch of scribbles on them. Upon closer examination I found that it was a bunch of guys who played on the album and a couple of others. The autographs, it appears, were collected by someone at a concert in N.O. many years ago. Some of these guys have been deceased since the '60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Taylor Davis Posted February 19, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 19, 2011 Wow, Kelly Laymon is the daughter of one of my absolutely fav horror writers, the late Richard Laymon. Jack Ketchum was one of his best friends. Yeah, she ain't quite the writer her dad was. Jack ketchum is kinda interesting. I know almost nothing about these writers. I do however wish to sell this book and have a couple of folkes interested but no real offers yet. How could I go about selling this treasure? I already have it up on craigslist and two auction sites. but no real bites yet.. I looked on ebay and some autographs fetch really high prices. But I don't know what it could be worth. any guesses?
