Perfect Thurman Munson auto

[captainfitz]

Just looking for opinions on next steps. I acquired a Thurman Munson autographed photo in a large collection. The auto and photo almost looked too perfect considering it was 50 year old, so I had my doubts about authenticity. Plus it's similar to ones that were mass printed with a printed auto on it. But I could tell it was live ink, so I sent it off to JSA. It passed and the LOA is on it's way! (https://www.spenceloa.com/verify-aut...Number=YY88807)

My question now is: what do I do? I would love to display it alongside my other favorite autos, but I'm wondering if the value here might be enough to justify selling and getting a few other pieces I may want more. If I decided to sell, what is the best move to maximize value? I would think a PSA slab with an auto grade would bump it up a few notches, but would it be enough of a jump to offset the fees (a few hundred dollars)? Maybe do the same but to Beckett instead? Should I just sell it un-encapsulated? Or am I way overthinking this and I should just keep it, frame it, and admire it because it is beautiful?

Nobody can answer these questions……but you.

Best Munson signature I’ve ever seen.

Ain't that the truth. I'm just looking for someone else's opinion so that if I do it and regret it, I can just blame it on them instead of myself.

That's my recommendation. Enjoy it!
