Hello all, my first post on the forum, relative of mine has this and was wondering what it's value might be? It looks authentic and the paper smells very old, it is believed that the autos were collected by a ground steward. Any views welcomed and also if you know the Real Madrid autos please let me know (Di Stefano being the bottom one I think)....thanks.

Here I am then!

All signatures are genuine for both sides, if you want the full names of all the Madrid team send me a PM. and i will let you have them.
Also, is this just a sheet of paper and no more?, not part of a book or anything else either?

As for estimating a price-one mans meat and all that but Iwould be talking in the hundreds if sold privately, if they were on a menu of the day or something official to MUFC then the value would be considerably higher. If the sigatures are for sale you can let me know.

I have similar items to this on my site-go to the sets showing "European Cup Run 1956-7, also 1957-8.

manchesterunitedman1 is quite correct with his assessment of this item.
a good clean set of Manchester United busby babes signature would probably be valued at around £350-£500 in the current economic climate.
This is one of the fullest set i have seen as it includes the manager,assistant manager and backroom staff as well as a full set of the mighty Real Madrid that won ALL the early European cups.
The scan obviously does not show the quality of paper it is on but between £500-£700 would be where this item should have its valuation to an autograph collector in my opinion.
