[78-L] Autographed big band/jazz 78s

[soundthink at aol.com]

I was contacted by someone in Milwaukee who wants his father's collection of autographed 78s appraised. His father was a disc jockey in the 1940s and '50s, which was how he got the signatures. I realize this is a volatile collectible, depending on a variety of factors, but if anyone can give me a ballpark figure I can send to him, I'd appreciate it.

I am told that all the discs are in E+ condition.
