Estimated Value of Thurman Munson Autograph?
 

Hello all,
I was just able to purchase my entire childhood collection, plus some, back from my friends father who I had sold it to roughly 20 years ago. In this collection he also included an autographed placemat of Thurman Munson. This was signed to his Brother in law "Jim" at a Restaurant near the Akron Canton airport. I have no idea what kind of value this would hold.

I need a little advice so I am hoping you could all help me out.

I am considering having it authenticated for sale, who would you recommend to have it certified by and would you leave it in its current state or would you suggest cutting it and mounting it on an index card? What would provide me the best return on my investment? Thanks in advance to all who can provide some insight.

Find a guy named Jim who is a Munson collector-would go for even more!

Nice signature and I would not cut out the inscription. Leave that to the next owner. IMO the inscription does not reduce value here. Richard Simon who is a member on this site and respected autograph authenticator is/was asking about $800 for a signed restaurant menu piece.
