I originally posted this in the main group but only received a single response before it was buried. Perhaps it's better suited to this particular area anyway.
I purchased this photo this past summer from a gentleman in Minnesota. I'm not well versed in photos, but since this one has an autograph extremely similar to the example that sold through Heritage this past summer for $8700.

Can I safely assume that my photo (in admittedly worse condition) is also a Type 1?
Any thoughts on value in the current condition?
Would it be worth getting authenticated and slabbed considering the condition issues? If so, I may take it to Chicago this summer with hopes to get it done there in person (assuming this is possible as it is admittedly outside my main collecting focus).
