I have had it for almost a year and it is real and authentic. I sent pictures of it to Heritage Auction and they wanted to list it but I don't want to sell. The person I spoke to there said he had never seen one in his 40 years of experience. I thought Net54 might know more.

Ok you say authentic...but did you ever have it or the Signatures Authenticated? Sending pictures to Heritage is very different from Having Guys from Heritage handle it. I have owned and still own alot of Satchel Paige signatures and none look like yours...I know signatures can and do change over time....but...
Then there is the broadside. It would have to be from 1933 1934 or 1936. And I find it strange it would say Negro League. Most NL Broadsides list the specific League the crawfords represent like American Negro Leauge. Etc. Add that to font and overall condition.....I don't like it
Jmho..

I really have no opinion. Nor am I an expert by any means. However, I have seen the words “Negro League” on other period broadsides. Also during the time that broadside would have been displayed Paige had a tendency to sign Satchell with two Ls. I suppose he could have signed that one post 1950s if it is indeed authentic?
