1968 Shelby Autograph

I have had this sitting around for 20 years. He would come to Boulder at Christmas and do a meet and greet at the Shelby museum.
I know he was a prolific signer! Any one have an idea of value?

Shelby offered autograph services through Shelby American, often for a fee. Owners could send him components like airbag covers, dash plaques, or other parts to be signed, then have them returned.

Oh, I paid a fee at the event for his signature.

You can still get buy/get his autograph! The post death ones have 3 lines below, not 2.

He charged for his signature, and the money went to his children's foundation. I sent a print off to have him sign it, way back when. I have no idea of the value of anything he signed. There must be a million items out there with his signature.
P.S. The sticker was something I got later, but can't remember why.

I sent off to get the same piece signed. It was $250 dollars. They only had it 3 months before he passed away. They asked if I wanted a autopen autograph instead and I said no. They sent it back to me.

I got mine in 2005, and while I don't remember for sure, I think it was $100 for the signature. To the original OP's question, I don't know what it would be worth today to someone else. I think the only way to determine value would be to put it on ebay or something and see where it goes. I've been trying to sell off parts I have no use for locally, and it seems no one has any money. Might just be local, but even at 25% of what something might have been worth 5 years ago, there's no interest.

decided to check AI:
A 1968 Mustang dash trim signed by Carroll Shelby typically sells for $1,000 to $2,000, depending heavily on the component's condition and documentation. Actual signed glove box doors alone commonly trade around $500 to $1,200. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Put this for sale on a vintage mustang Facebook group earlier this week. Sold for $1,250 in a day. Pretty good interest. Probably should have started much higher, but it went to a really nice guy with a pretty sweet collection of cars. Wasn’t doing me any good sitting in a closet.

Congrats! Hard to tell the value of those items when they don't get sold very often.
