Posted By: <b>CS Bolay</b><p>Vintage non-sports, that could include Hollywood/Historical/Music/Arts, etc. <br><br>Anyhow, depends on whether you want the most knowledgeable opinion or the one that tends to maximize resale value. <br><br>For the former, you could try <a href="http://www.pass-co.com/category/Our_Experts/c8" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.pass-co.com/category/Our_Experts/c8</a> <br><br>For the latter, <a href="http://www.psadna.com" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.psadna.com</a>/<br><br>Richard Simon, <a href="http://www.richardsimonsports.com" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.richardsimonsports.com</a> handles a lot of vintage Hollywood material, but I'm personally not certain if he offers authentication services outside of sports. You could ask, I guess; he's as good as they get in the business.<br><br>There's a many other fine experts I could fully recommend, but most just stick to buying/ selling instead of authenticating send-in items.<br><br><br>*In regard to the frame, you'd have to remove that if you wish to have it properly examined. It's hard to get a sense of 'depth' (i.e. preprint 'ink part of picture' vs. hand-signed 'ink lying on top') with glass in the way.<br>
