I have Leo Yassenoffs original 1914-1916 Ohio State Football Scrap Book it has signatures of players, Ticket stubs, football programs, certifcates from him lettering in football and wrestling,pictures. it has about 45 plus pages full of OSU football 1914-1916. I have been offered alot of money for this but want to know first how much it is worth. Anyone who can put me in contact with someone who appraises items like this I woul greatly appreciate it. thanks I have put pictures for everyone to see. it has over 50 pages and hundred of items such as programs,ticket stubs awards etc from 1914-1916. Just the items alone are worth alot of money.

I doubt it is really worth that much to most people

The Jewish Community Center might be interested (it is named after Yassenoff), I believe they have a museum.

Take it to a a couple of dealers in sports memorabilia. At least you will get an idea of what it might fetch when transferred to their hands. Compare the figure they cite with the offers you earlier received from independent collectors. If the offers given before are say 20 - 30% higher than what a dealer would give you, then it is likely you will receive a fair price from that collector.

Just make sure the dealer doesn't look like this guy ..

E-bay E-bay E-bay. Put a minimum value so that you don't need to sell it if you don't like the going price.

edit: I would really like to see it though.

How did you come in contact with the scrap book?

I know members of the Yassenoff family (Leo's grandchildren and great grandchildren)... one of the family members might have an interest as well (you can look them up in the phone book).

As another poster said, take it over to JCC(Jewish Community Center). The place is named after the man. If anyone would want it, it would be JCC.

My grandfather was at OSU in 1916. I wonder if he knew any of those guys...

I'd love to see some of what's in there. You should take a few digi photos of the thing and post them. That would give people a better idea of what it could be worth.

Did you finally sell this scrapbook?

I'm sure the University Archives would very much love to obtain the book. They're on Kinney Rd. I think. I have the name of someone to contact if you're interested.
