Only issue is there is a wrinkle in the center of it, but the price was right at $250! It is a full size poster (25x36) with a huge signature(7+ inches).

I found this iconic Gallo photo at a local store today and it was signed by Mickey. Has anyone ever seen or known of this Gallo photo on canvas or masonite? Mick's signature was very large and signed with a real thick silver paint pen and it includes the notation 1956 (underlined). Also, the frame is real ornate in sort of gold leaf plaster of paris style. The signature is huge and has bleed a little because of the medium. I am not an expert but it was signed with great care and location which makes me think it could be real. Any help would be appreciated. I am thinking about going back to the store to take a photo and post here.
