LFC autographs help

[Ratty]

Hi all. New here so apologies if this is the wrong place. I have some older LFC autographs I’d like some info on, value, authenticity etc if anybody can help? Thanks

Welcome to the Forum, I'm sure if you can post scans on here someone should be able to help

Thanks. I’m not sure I can scan but I can post a few photos if that helps?

Ratty, some Liverpool legends in your collection. Top one looks like Kenny Dalglish £10 , then Emlyn Hughes £15 , lan St John £5 bottom two,, Bill Shankly in pencil with Preston NE team £ 50+ , Bob Paisley on two LFC letters £40+each,, . Just to add, the damage on the Paisley could harm the value .Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help. The PNE team also includes sir Tom Finney if that helps?

I’m also led to believe that the Shankly is the older and rarer signed with a W and not the later B

Tom Finney signed everything that moved or didn't move, as did Stanley Matthews, bless them - hence their sigs aren't as valuable as some.

Fair enough haha

Ratty, they all look authentic. I don’t think there is much difference in the value of the Liverpool manager signing W Shankly and Bill Shankly. The fact that the Preston signatures look like they have been cut and stuck on a card might detract from the value. When he was a player he seemed to mostly sign W, but when he became a manager (in most cases) he reverted to Bill. I suppose he became more famous as Bill and gave the fans what they wanted. A bit like Dixie Dean. He liked to be called Bill, but mostly signed as Dixie , to give the fans what they wanted. Sometimes he signed W R ( William Ralph) Dean. To be honest, not certain if the WR Dean is more valuable than the Dixie Dean signature?

Thanks for your reply, appreciate it. I have a collection, mostly bought from reputable sources that I would like to move on. I think the ones I’ve listed are probably the rarest/most valuable. Any idea where I could potentially list them?
