It has been on display in the shop where I work, for a year now. It deserves a good home.

The writing looks nowhere near as aged as the photo, does it? And it looks like the end of the H was extended after the signature was signed.

Pete, you may want to get a second opinion on it, just to make sure before you sell.

It has been looked at and authenticated by JSA as well as a quick opinion by Steve Grad.

If you look at the close up pics, the spotting throughout the photo is also visible in the ink of the signature. It was purchased a few years ago from the son of Mr. Walsh the gentleman who it is inscribed to.

If I had the money it would be in my own collection, that's how sure I am on it.
