GUEST: I got them from various autograph dealers in the early '80s.
APPRAISER: How much did you pay for them?
GUEST: Maybe $2, $2.25.
APPRAISER: We have here Lon Chaney, the Man of a Thousand Faces. Lon Chaney is an extremely rare autograph. Unfortunately, the photo is not autographed, it's just the piece of paper. So just this at auction, you're looking at $500 to $700. If the image were signed, you're probably looking at $1,000 to $1,500. Bela Lugosi, also very rare to find his signature, that's about $1,500 at auction.
GUEST: Wow. Okay.
APPRAISER: Yeah. Elsa Lanchester, Bride of Frankenstein, this is a later image. So here you're looking at about $300 to $500.
GUEST: Oh, okay.
APPRAISER: And here we have a later 8x10. It's signed by numerous people who where in the movie "House of Dracula." And here you're looking at about $200 to $400.
GUEST: Okay. Wow.
APPRAISER: So, yes. Well, I would say you made a monstrously good deal.
GUEST: (laughs)
