Dr. J auto real?

[bnorth]

I know nothing about basket ball or auto's. I picked up this 8 X 10 several years ago at a consignment shop. It is definitely a real auto and not a print. If it is real would it be worth it to be authenticated and if so by who. My goal is to sell it or trade for low grade T210 and/or T206 baseball cards. Also does the personalization to Clint make it less valuable?
Thanks for any help.

Otis will chime in about the auto itself, but generally, yes, an inscription lowers the possible resale/trade value of the auto...unless your trading partner happens to be named Clint.

Auto is good, IMO. There are ways to remove the inscription, but results vary. Probably best to just leave as is.

Would not be worth authenticating, IMO.

Interesting photo as you have a player known for offense, looking to defend against a player known for his defense.

Thank you for the response any idea on how much I should ask for if?

A signed 8x10 Erving on eBay (no authentication) with no personalization, may only fetch in the $20-40 range.

I've picked up some very nice signed cards and photos for under $35 shipped.

Thanks I did not pay much for it and would be happy with $30-$35 shipped. It would let me add a few beater cards to my T210 or T206 collection I recently started.
What is the best way to ship? I will add it to the B/S/T section later.

But since yours has a personalization, it would go for less than $30 per his response above...
