Got Kevin Garnett's autograph as a kid on the Proviso West Holiday tournament program after one of his last games in high school before he would go pro. Entire program, in tact in like new condition. It's been stored in my closet for 26 years.

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. Based on the photographs and description provided, the subject of this appraisal is a non-authenticated autographed program from the Proviso West Holiday High School Basketball Tournament, signed by future NBA star Kevin Garnett circa 1994.
According to the current owner, the piece was acquired in person at the tournament.
Similar Garnett-related high school items to this have not been recorded at traditional auction to form a comparable basis, so a formula using other memorabilia will be applied to determine a Fair Market Value. Similar high school memorabilia such as this piece can be valued at approximately 2X to 2.5X the athlete's signature value on a standard single-signed ball. Garnett's autograph on a single-signed basketball recently sold via Heritage Auctions for $78.00 in 2019. In consideration of the factors noted, a Fair Market Value (pre-auction estimate) of this piece would be estimated at $150 to $200.
