Very nice thrift store find.

free2131 · 06-15-2012, 05:44 PM

Visited a local thrift store and I happened upon an autographed 8x10 of an NHL player. I took it out and examined the graph to make sure it wasn't one of those copies of autographs. Now, I have no idea about hockey at all, and the price was $5, so I pulled out my Blackberry and Googled the player by his jersey number and team, found out who it was (I of course had heard of him before), compared this signature to his other certified ones, and once I comfortably felt it was an authentic autograph, I talked the lady down to $3. Pretty good deal, huh (if authentic obviously)?

Auction and donate the proceeds to charity since you didn't know who #66 on the Penguins was.

Heck, you can tell just by his face.

That auto looks spot on, you are good to go. He sells great, he is immensly popular. Do your research before you sell.

I've seen them listed on Ebay from around $60-150. Would it be worth it to me to send it to PSA/DNA to get authenticated?
