Posted By: <b>Dave</b><p>I recently found this in some paper I bought at a garage sale. I am not sure what it is or if it has any value. The piece measures 12 inches by 5 1/2 inches. Does anyone have any idea what this might be? Thanks.<br /><br /><img src="http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee112/tycobb1909/sundaytabernacle.jpg"><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Looks like it's handcut so I would guess it was probably the top part to a calendar or an ad piece of some sort. There is not a whole lot of value to Billy Sunday items that aren't directly tied to his baseball career.

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>As most here are aware, Sunday was the more charismatic Billy Graham of his era. Despite (or perhaps as a direct result of) his post-baseball fame, his autographed material fetches fractions of what a nearly unknown player's signature would who died in the mid-1930's. He signed like a banshee, and those signatures are far from rare. His is definitely the most common baseball signature of any 1930's death.
