Ok, around 2005 or 2006, I bought a book from Old Navy called “Christmas – Vintage Holiday Graphics”. It has vintage holiday pictures and ads in it. It’s part of the Icon series. I saw other books that are part of the series, and I want to know if Old Navy still sells them, and if not, then where?? (No internet sites, please)
I remember those books and Old Navy no longer sells them. I’ve worked at O.N. since Aug. 2004 and we havent had those in a few years. They were made specifically for sale at Old Navy stores so they are not available anywhere else unless you can find it on ebay or something. I bought the “Signs” book a couple of years ago — pictures of various street signs and symbols, some of them were international signs, pretty cool.

I got an autograph baseball from 1973 from my great aunt. On the baseball it says rawlings jack in the box official baseball with a picture of the old orioles logo, also written is 1973 old timers game. The baseball has over 20 autographs with 5-7 baseball hall of famers like, Warren Spahn, Pee Wee Reese, Bob Feller, Lefty Grove, Enos Slaughter and many many more. I was wondering where would I get it authenticated and what would be the approximate value as well as a little info about that game and who played.
The cards are not machine signed since autographs were signed with different ink colors, thickness and look hand signed. Also I want to know where I can get it authenticated inexpensively before selling it on ebay.
put it on ebay, and see how much people will pay for it, make sure you put a reserve on it for like 200.00, and then start the price really low, and you will probably sell it for at least $200.00 Good Luck

Best Practices In Negotiation: “What Do I Owe You?”
Some folks collect vintage wines or baseball cards. Others take up bowling.
If you follow my writing you’ll know that I’m constantly refining my negotiation skills. It doesn’t matter to me very much where I find myself, if I’m buying or selling, I’m also a student of the bargaining game.
In fact, “Bargainer” is my handle on Twitter, if that tells you something.
And I teach the “Best Practices In Negotiation” courses at U.C. Berkeley and UCLA Extension, so I try to be ever alert to great gambits.
As I was sitting in my car while the air conditioning system was being tested, about thirty yards from some quite busy railroad tracks, I saw a fellow walk up to the mechanic.
“I’d like to buy some boxes from you, if I might” he said with a smile.
“Okay,” the veteran tradesman replied. “Take your pick,” he volunteered, pointing to a pile by the shed.
Riffling through boxes, the visitor settled on one or two and asked the boss for some help in reassembling them, because he needed to ship something at the post office.
“But I don’t want to take you away from anything,” he added, noting the elevated hood of my car, and no doubt me, my nose buried in a Wayne Dyer book at the steering wheel.
“No problem,” and with that, the mechanic stapled the edges of the boxes.
Then, the visitor asked, “What do I owe you?”
“Ah, nothing,” was the reply.
“No, your help is worth something. Maybe a beer next time.”
“Fair enough,” and the transaction was over. No money changed hands.
And both parties seemed pleased, which is a little odd when you consider that the boxes and the labor it took to assemble them, do have some value.
I believe the visitor was a very adept communicator that wanted free boxes from the very beginning. Had he asked for them as an outright gift, he might have been rejected.
But offering to buy them made him seem like a stand-up guy, and it disarmed and charmed the mechanic. Then, consistent with this offer, before departing he asked “What do I owe you?”
I believe he expected to be told, “Nothing,” because by making the initial and then repeated offer to pay, he induced the mechanic to return the favor by donating the items, and his labor to the fellow.
In other words, a DONATIVE atmosphere was established in a commercial environment. I believe the mechanic justified his act by telling himself that he was doing this kind deed as an investment in good will, and he’d be repaid either by the visitor or by one of his friends that needs repairs.
Plus, he’s not really in the box or stapling business, so how would he even begin to price what he did?
There is an unwritten communication rule that I’d like to tease out. It goes something like this:
If you want something for free, whatever you do, don’t make it seem you expect to receive it as an outright gift. If you do that, it will seem you’re asserting an entitlement, and that tactic will be rejected.
Instead, volunteer to pay something up front, but don’t specify an amount. Seem grateful as the item or service or gesture is conveyed. Then, when you have what you want, ask: “What do I owe you?”
This sequence will trigger a gift-giving impulse in the assistance provider, and it’s quite probable you won’t have to pay. If you do, it’s likely you’ll be charged less than a “market” rate
It’s just possible that seeming grateful for the value tendered is a sufficient reward, so when you top that with an explicit offer to pay, the other party’s emotional cup “runneth over” and he feels he doesn’t need the money.
He has already been paid, in gratitude.
