I have no clue about his sketches or autograph, any opinions?

I think it's good. It's a little blurry, but looks good to me

I don't believe it is genuine. Schulz was pretty precise and particular about his sketches and two things jump out at me at first glance. The trapezoid that is the roof is wavy, and the 'house' only has one two boards (one line). That alone would scare me away.

I assume you found it locally somewhere? Maybe Jim is right, but I think it's ok. Tough call without holding it. The only person that needs to be comfortable with it is you. Time for more homework. Good luck, Jason

Found this 2009 blog post doubting the authenticity of similar sketches offered by "The Autograph Store" (all links to same are now dead).

Makes the company in the OP look dubious at best. This kind of thing really bugs me, not only is the company scamming charities, but the end buyer gets burned too.

Thanks for the help everyone. My brother saw it at a garage sale, he did not buy it.

Probably smart. As soon as the other markings started coming out, it was probably a safe bet to leave it alone. Most of the stuff at those charity auctions is no good anyhow. At least the ones that I see.
I have seen drawings that were not as crisp as older ones though. Being he was a St Paul guy you tend to see them more in this area than elsewhere.
