Autographed Hockey Memorabilia

Back in the '90s I collected a lot of autographed Hockey memorabilia or other hockey related collectibles. I haven't watched hockey in probably 8 years and am ready to move these things onto someone that would appreciate them more. People have suggested putting these items on ebay but I am not sure how to value them to get it started. Do you have any suggestions for where I can find approximate market values for these things?

I have some autographed St. Louis Blues items that I thought about donating to the fundraiser auction I'll be attending but I'd hate to do that if what I have isn't something people would want...

Any ideas or suggestions for me?

Thanks

    Unless it something where you have a legitimate certificate of authenticity (like from the team), the value isn't much. There is SOOOOO much fake stuff out there...

    I would have to pull out my binder where I kept all of the certificates.. I think most of them were certificates of authenticity from the collectible company that I bought them from.. does that mean anything?

    your best bet is to check similar items on ebay or elsewhere online.

    You can also bring them to a collectables show and price them around to different tables.

    Or you just throw them up on ebay and let the value find itself.

    I'm not an expert, but I would think that they wouldn't mean much (unless they were from a very reputable collectible company - if those even exist). You gotta figure if you are going to fake an autograph, faking a certificate isn't any worse.
