This photo was issues by Diamond Stars Gum and measures 4 1/2 X 7 1/4. Hard to tell if the autograph is real or part of the photo. Any help would be appreciated.

It's a Goudey Premium from 1939 - designated as R303-B in the catalog. The autograph is a facsimile.

Thanks Dan, any idea if it has any value?

It does have value, but I'm not exactly sure what they go for...some are on ebay with BIN's but we all know that BIN's are not a true indication of true market price.

I'm going to move this over to the card side because someone could probably answer your question over there.

It's hard to tell the exact condition from the scan, but it looks to be mid-grade (PSA 4-6, to me). That would make it worth anywhere from $50-$150 or so.

Sorry I can't be more precise on that.

Thanks to all for the information. It was very helpful. I would estimate the condition at PSA 5.

Thanks again, Bob
