Value of autographs?
Got Jackie Stewart, Ken Tyrrell, Patrick Depailler and Jody Scheckter all together on the same piece of paper. Got them at the 75 or 76 Race of Champions at Brands after waiting outside the Grovewood Suite for hours. Thought I'd lost it but it turned up when clearing out a cupboard. Gonna frame it now.
Don't want to sell it (unless it's worth the cost of an RB320!) but I'm intrigued as to whether it could have any value?

I am a collector of autographs, albeit of actors from the James Bond films, and the biggest issue surrounding autographs is the authenticity of them! Most of mine are collected in person or bought from reputable dealers who specialise in them. I hate to say it, but of the Bond autographs I look at on eBay on a (more or less) daily basis, 95% of them are fake. One autograph dealer once told me that Sean Connery's was one the most fakes autographs ever - since the success of Casino Royale, I think Daniel Craig's rates pretty highly too as I've seen some shockers which command good money!!!
Anyway, back to your question. I would suggest you seek advice from a reputable autograph dealer who specialises in sports stars. If they are just on a piece of paper, first thing I would do it get it framed and - even if you don't sell them, it'll be protected and look nice if you display it.
Try contacting the links below for ideas on price - you never know, they may be interested themselves!

That was always a good race to see.

I've got Winston Churchills on a DeHaviland book as a distant relative worked for DeHavilland. Old Kurd Killer/Bosh Basher signed the book for him during a works visit.

I have a collectors set of the first 'Foggy Petronas' team signed by Carl Fogerty, Walker and the other dude who I dont remeber his name but wins a lot!! (sorry not a bike fan) but dont know where to sell it, tried e-bay but no luck.

Gotta be Troy Corser, can't have good handwriting then if you can't read it - probably done by Foggy trying to raise money for this years effort!!!!
I've got Joey Dunlops, Steve Hislops, Randy Mamola and Aaron Slights autographs all on their own posters, all framed. If an autograph is personalised (ie To Graham) does it affect the value either way - not looking to sell unless I hit rock bottom!!
Also queued for hours at Goodwood to get Charlie Borman to sign a (overpriced) CD, gave to my Dad as a christmas present & he complained that someone had written on it, that was the final insult as the missus kept complaining that we must have gone on the wrong day as Ewen was there the following day!!!
