I am not an expert but on the low side if it is signed by one of them i would say between 1,200 - 1,500. If it is authenticated by the right person it could be worth double that in my opinion. If you look on ebay one their sigs is worth alot if authenticated. Good luck!

Where's the autograph?

Comment by Sidney Fields on November 11, 2010 at 6:02am

I'm no autograph authority...but I do know a bit about Abbott & Costello.

You should check the signature.
It may just be the name someone else wrote on there to designate that this was Bud Abbott's script.

In the Bud Abbott signatures that I've seen, there typically was a flow between the "d" in Bud and the "A" in Abbott. They were connected.
And he had a diagonal slash from upper left to lower right accross the "t's" in Abbott.

By the way...if this is the script for show #10, I believe that was the episode in which Lou gets duped in the old shell game at the charity bazaar. It includes an appearance from the great Joe Besser.

I think Mr. Fields is right. It doesn't look like the way Bud Abbott usuallysigned his name. In my 40+ years in the autograph business, I've come across many scripts with the name of the owner (actor) in the upper right. When autographed, scripts are usually signed somewhere in the middle of the cover page.
