Hello, Today I had the great honour of meeting the last 8 remaining living VC recipients at the museum I work for, which let me tell you is a once in a lifetime thing. Truly an honour to be around such brave men. Anyway, I acquired a full size Replica VC with a brief detailed insert. I managed to get the insert signed by 5 of those 8 guys (unfortunately the other 3 left before I had a chance to ask them). It is signed by: Johnson Gideon Beharry VC William Speakman VC Keith Payne VC Benjamin Roberts-Smith VC and Rambahadur Limbu VC. This is just a general interest as I have no plans to sell such item but I was wondering to a collector how much this would possibly be worth? I did get an estimate from the Museum Curator which the sum was still quite an surprising one. So what does anyone think? Ive attached a few pics (if done right) that should show a bit of detail. Thanks for your time.

Congratulations at your success in getting the signature of four of the five surviving VC recipients. I am also pleased you also collected the signature of one of the two VCFA recipients. I understand that the media likes to dumb things down and lump four different countries awards with similar names into one group but this group should distinguish the VC from the VCFA, VCFNZ and the Canadian VC. Having been grouchy with this introduction I apologise for further negative waves. I do not want to know the value of the signatures that I have been fortunate enough to collect over the years. However, there is a trade in famous autographs and I would suggest searching for a autograph forum.
