The Doors, what might this be worth

I was going through my boxes of LP's from storage and had completely forgotten about this autograph I had placed in the doors album. It is their signatures (only Ray and Jim signed completely, Robby and John just first names) obtained when they were sitting a few rows in front of us at the Rheingold Music Festival in Central Park in 1967. The show was Spanky and the Gang and Jessie Collin Young and the Youngbloods. They signed the back of the program.

I would also like to add something here. I think the Ray and Robby were signed at different times. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but that's my belief.

Why is that? I believe that they were all signed at the same time. All of the Doors attended the show together, and these all appear to be vintage autographs.

All signed at the same time. They were in their seats and passed the programs around.

This is a fab piece. I wish I had it. $4,000 seems like a great offer to me.

The only thing I don't like is Robby signing over Jim a bit. Thank you for sharing.

Great piece. Really nice. I think the artwork even kind of has a Doors feel to it as well.

Any updates on this piece? Did you sell it? Did you ever see if your friend still had their signed page?

It is in the upcoming auction at http://gottahaverockandroll.com/

Not at auction, but eventually sold by a dealer that I left it with on consignment, and in answer to Chad B's question I recently had dinner with my friend who is now in Boston and he still has his.

Is your friend selling his? I love the vintage autographs.

May I be so rude to ask the selling price? Nice, rare piece.

It sold for $4500 I think, based on what I received after the shops consignment fee.
