hello respected queen fans,
does anyone here know how much a card with all the autographs of the members in queen could be worth? i am in a lucky possession of such a card. sometime in the seventies my parents happened to dine at the same restaurant as queen, and since they knew i was a big fan, they asked them for their autographs, which they where kind enough to give. i'm not interested in selling it, but still it would be fun to know how much it could be worth...

Anything is this world is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.
I'm sorry I can't offer anything concrete, but that really is the reality of it. Prices are entirely human creations, and something only actually has value if money is transferred in exchange for it.
Autographs in particular are very hard to judge, as it's hard to know if an autograph is genuine. Some people here are excellent judges of Queen autographs, but the value of an autograph in my opinion is the experience of getting it, not getting it second hand from someone who cannot prove 100% that it's legit.

Believe it or not, there 's an autographed photo of the lads on the wall of a pub/ restaurant not half a mile from where I live.
. The owner has (or had) two or three pub restaurants in the area and was a very keen autograph hunter, or collector, I should say.
. From a Queen fan's perspective, it seems a waste to be stuck there in a bleedin' pub.

I have a Brian May autographed picture tucked away in a storage bin somewhere. The value is in the memories that it gives me whenever i go into that bin looking for something.

i saw a program on tv where someone had the beatles autographs on a card, and the estimated value was 2 000 pounds if i remember right.
but maybe it has to be very convincing, that it really are their autographs, for it to be selled, as you said T R W...
Well, better to have the Queens autograph up in a pub, m m, than in a storage bin, like I also have, rubbersuit;)
But it's nice to look at from time to time, knowing that legends like that have signed it...
ps. yes, TRW prices are human creations.. that reminds me of my longing for the day when we have created a fair system to value things...

If the day ever came for fair value, garbagemen would make more than senators

I have A Day at the Races album autographed by all four... I wouldn’t dream of selling it at any price.

Unfortunately all those above look fake. Freddie 's is closest to approximately right. But the M is uncomfortably far from the rest of his name and the F was not done comfortably and fast..it's so short and unstructured to look as from someone deliberately hesitating their every move. Freddie's F's were high capped. ..this one looks horrendous like a cross.
The letters individually look too high representation wise from the initial F.... even if rushed; there'd be some downward linear composition. This looks like deliberate "artifice", which it off course is.
I hope this was a joke.
John's tends to be boxy. M..this one is not. It looks ENTIRELY DISREGARDED FOR ACCURACY.
Roger's doesn't hit any of the appropriate heights. It has no high R or T And doesn't look squiggled.....something that happens naturally when signing many autographs (*which is where most are acquired; whether a table of them at fan club meetings or 300 waiting at the door)
...and the MOST EASILY ACCESSIBLE SIGNATURE: BRIAN ... is horribly off.
No flow.
Horrible forgeries with a complete requisite useless certificate

The felt marker for Rogers is a nice faker touch (suggesting old fat bodied alcohol based markers) but the whole thing is an OLD forgery.
PROBABLY from the 80's eastern block and passed around.
Just my 8 cents, i hate to say so but anybody else would say the same thing

Authenticity certificates - mean feck all.
Anyone can make some up and print them.
I’ve a Live Killers cassette cover signed by all 4.
I know it’s real as I met them after the gig at Maine Rd in 1986.
Thus I know it’s legit.

THAT is how i carry my stuff/*shit.
It means something TO ME, because i was there.
And I'm not selling it.
That's why i laminated my Steve Lukather signature on a guitar i have (a Luke) because I INTEND TO PLAY THE DUCKING THING BUT WASN'T TOO STILL SEE IT SOMETIMES. ..
i understand being hard up on cash sometimes, but I've never understood what lowly kind of person forges signatures. .. David R Fullershit....I've heard about him, but in general. ...who does such a thing. ..it's sick.
Most times i don't bother with a photo on signatures, I'll let my story stand. It's usually funnier cause I'm not some goon kissing butt and they've got a word or two to chime in.
Even if i had Britney Spears pink painted ass print on canvas, it'd take years of forensic work to pinpoint its origin....the labia, of course having been VASTLY distorted through the years.
The satisfaction is mine all mine. Just like it is yours. I wish these assholes would be discredited, but u know it takes so much time to follow up every asshple faking stuff
