Yes I'm new, Yes this is my first post, but hear me out.
Reciently my Father passed. One of his requests was to sell certian items. One of these being F1 related. As I know very little about this topic I am asking for some insite.
First the item
The New Matadors by Baumann - Purdy Copyright 1965.
The book soft cover is in OK shap. It has a plastic coating over it which has bubbled over time but is still intact. The hard cover is in perfect condition no rips or tears. The spline is perfect. The pages are not torn, folded or damaged in any way.
On Oct 27-30 1966 my father went to the 9th annual TIMES GRAND PRIX at Riverside Raceway. I have the original brochure from the race in the book. While at the race he got several of the drivers to sign the book. Autographs include
Jackie Stewart
Mario Andreti
Carrol Shelby
Dennis Hulme
A. J. Foyt
Phil Hill (Autographed his picture on pg25 of the book)
John Surtees (Autographed his picture on pg 31 of the book)
Now for my quandry.
Per my fathers request this book is to be sold. So I am trying to determine a value of the set and possibly the best way to sell the book. I can send pics, but do not have them on-line for posting here.
I thank you for any info you can provide in satisfying my fathers wishes. I will check her for replys, but I can also be reached at my personal email thestarfinder at yahoo dot com
