Just a bit, the ronnies are worth $300 because they just are that rare but not so much Brindy. Most of US don't care what frame it is in because we will most likely put in what ever frame matches the rest of our collection.

superdave is off to Michaels to buy some mats and frames for some of the crap...er...memorabilia that I have rolled up and stuffed into the top of a closet.

You may not care about the frame, but I promise you that is part of what is driving up the price, especially if they're triple-matted. Even with a 40% off coupon, a small (8x8ish) piece I had done recently came to $60 and it was only double-matted. I don't think the four would have come to $1600, but it would not be hard to hit $800 for the four.

i agree but for me the first thing i would do is remove all that and put it in a frame that matches my others so though nice it would be a waste for me. part of that dollar amount is the francis litho. i bought two and ended up selling one for enough to recoup what i had payed for the two.

So what would I get for my lithos signed by #10 and #17, professionally framed and matted?

Sorry, the lithos were FREE to STHers (right? or are there Lithos being sold that I don't know about?) and then to anyone who showed up at practices and other events, and I got ours professionally framed by a former co-worker who used to have a shop when she lived in Florida; she's done all of our lithos for a decent price, as Kermie said, at Michael's you'd pay a pretty penny. Through the roof. but if he's trying to recoup the $$ he spent on the frames and the glass, ok good luck to ya. I'm thinking however, that you'd probably make alot more cake selling lithos from the year we actually won the Cup. Perhaps I just don't value this as much as this dude does; they're personal momentos to me, so I guess I wouldn't be able to take them down from our walls in our Canes room.

Yea I've gotta echo what caniac97 said about the value of the Francis Litho. I could easily see an unsigned one going for $300 and if you could prove the validity of an autograph possibly as high as $500.

The Cup Lithos just arent worth as much because there are probably over 15,000 of each of those. The Francis Lithos were given out to STHs in 2000-2001 and I believe they only got one per an account so they are in much shorter supply. I'd be curious to see a number of how many Francis ones they actually produced. Plus there are a lot of people who need the Francis one to complete a collection and therefore will pay a premium to complete the set.

I got my francis litho for 150 4 years ago.

[superdave]

Wonder what a Mike Commodore signed give-away poster in a $20 poster frame would fetch (according to the crack smoking feller)?

$500+ for the Francis and $200+ for Brindy. I got lucky on my purchase.

[LostTexan]

$200 for the Brindy, wow I need to see if I have an extra laying around somewhere.

you have to remember that there were not many Francis and Brindy litho's given out. also most folks probably didn't think of the collector value and thru them in with the rest of the free stuff they give out. I paid a bunch for my Ronnie and somewhat less than the above for Brindy. Ronnie is autographed, Brindy is not.
