Hiya Morton

One thing I've noticed in my short time of being a member of WAF is that people are not forward in suggesting a Value.......Its a bit like asking how long is a piece of string

Only thing I would suggest is for you to break it down to get a ruff value Ie how much are the 3 sigs going for individually, Along with the base value of this book.......wish I could help more

Thanks, I know it is tough. My problem is that I don't know where to start - I have searched all kinds of traders of WW2 signatures without finding Taubert, so I don't even know which end of the scala to start, and I could of course just make up some price, but I don't consider myself qualified enough (within the field of WW2 signatures) to do so...
So if anyone have some rough idea of where to start (is it e.g. 100$ or 500$) I'd appreciate it!

Morten,
People are reluctant to provide a valuation because most of the time it is guesswork. Personally, I never give an opinion on value on the internet. My guiding principle is that any item is only worth what someone is prepared to pay at that time. As a general rule, signed books are less valuable than signed letters, photos or documents, so unless you can find a sold book signed by the same personalities, it is extremely difficult to gauge a price from the internet.
In your case, Dr. Frank is the more collectable autograph of the three. Taubert is not so collectable outside specialist SS collectors, and Seel is the least appealing. I think you have to decide what the minimum amount is you would accept, measured against what you paid for the book. One thing I will say though, is ... don't expect to make a fortune, as they are not very valuable in that form.

Thanks for the advise Max.
Don't worry I don't expect to make a fortune and I'm not in it for the money as such, this piece came with some other stuff that I bought all together, and since it is not my area of interest I want to sell to someone who finds it interesting. Nice to learn at least that Frank is the one most sought after though now I can try to find out a minimum price.

All the best,
Morten
