Cy Young

I recieved the photo from my great uncle, who had a killer collection, when i was 12, along with a hat of cy's. My great uncle recieved the photo from john benedum, who cy lived with from 1930's on. When cy died he left his estate to john and ruth benedum, thats why the photo reads from john benedum on the back. And the photo was signed with a blue ball point pen, the writing on the back is in green marker, and 1968 is when my uncle recieved it. I know that it's the "real deal", and I know that hat was cy's, it's proving it that's difficult. THe hat, I belive is from 1935. Cy started a traveling team of retired players, it was a bust, and cy returned to the benedum's home that same year. Any help on the hat would be greatly appericated, I know someone out there may know something about it.

Usuallly the Post cards go for at least 1,000. Now the Photo's allways bring more. And you can't find an autographed cy young photo, young or old cy, in good shape with a nice strong sig. I"m thinking of traveling to chicago to have psa authenicate it, is there an easier way, sending it in soulds pretty risky?

I did see one sell on eBay last year sell for $900 (w/ JSA), and I sold a 5x7 signed photo two years ago for $550.

And this one was offered on the N54 a while back for $1,250. I may be a little low in my estimate.

Roncey drops in like an a-bomb.

Some would think it a detraction. But, the vintage typing from the original collector make's it extra special. Wicked sweet.

Go Sox,
