Hi everyone Thanks for the replies - I think it also adds to my thoughts on the value of the book in monetary terms. It's priceless because the autographs can't be obtained again - but worth very little as all it is is a few signatures in a book. I think it's worth around 40 - 60 pounds. I don't want to sell it by my gran does - so I'm going to try to buy it from her at 50 pounds rather than let it go out of the family and it can go to her son who likes autographs and the stories his gran tells him. I've got to say however that someone is buying it if she wants to sell it at between 40 - 60 pounds if that is considered a fair assessment of the price. Cheers again - thanks for the interesting stories.

My gran (now aged 89) attended speedway regularly in the 1960s and 1970s and has a book of 62 autographs of riders of the time, including: Peter Vanderberg (Wolves) Eric Bobcock (Halifax) Bert Harkins (Wembley) Pete Bailey (Ipswich) Gote Nordin (Sweden) (died April 1987) Ron Mountford (Coventry) Oyhuind S Burg (Norway) Dave Younghusband (Halifax) Col Cottrell (Bees) Alan Tay (Halifax) Bob Andrews (Hackney) Nigel Bodcock Roger Hill Cliff Evans Jack Biggs (Hackney) Mark (Glasgow) Gordon Gausco (Poole) Bill McMillan (Glasgow) IvanMauger (Bellevue) Jan Simensen (Coventry / Sweden) Ray Wilson (Leicester Lions) Howard Cole (King's Lynn) Terry Betts (King's Lynn) Eric Broadbelt (Bellevue) Les Owen (Bees) Arnold Haley (Sheffield) Jim Pibey (Sheffield) Clive Featherby (King's Lynn) Tony Lomas (Bees) Antoni Woryna (Poland) Rick France (Bees) Pawel Waloszek (Poland) Grahan Plant Ken Ayres (Bellevue) JohnBoulger (Lions) Ken Paul Kinsley ? Westham/Cov/Oxford Anders? Dave Jessup (Wembley) Alan Cowland (Lions) Brian Leonard (Wempley) Ronnie Moore Geoff Bowledge? Christer Lopavist (West Ham / Sweden) Anatoli Kuzmin (Russia) Jim McMillan (Glasgow) Bob Rigby Bruce Ford Vladimir Paznikov (Russia) Grigory Chlynousky Colin Pratt Ole Olsen Bill Wirebrand (Poole) Peter Smith (Poole) Mike Cake (Poole) My gran has put the names by most of the signatures but some are not named. I am researching the names to find out what has happened to these riders and if anyone has any details on these, I would appreciate that being shared with me so I can tell my gran where they are now (if they are still with us). My gran, Joyce, was a keen speedway fan and regularly visited the pits to get these autographs. With thanks.
