I had no idea it was framed when I bought it since I bought it online. The seller had no photos of it inside the frame. I don't know an exact value of if I had to estimate I'd probably say anywhere from $500 to over $1,000. I don't know how it is mounted but it won't come off of the paper it is mounted on.

I can recommend a restorer to reach out to to see if he can remove without damaging the graph. Restoration isnt cheap just a heads up could be a couple hundred dollars

I realize it's not cheap. But with the possible value of the autographed item I think it would be worth it if it could be done safely. Who's your recommendation for restoration

I personally would return it or ask for a discount because amounted stuff is worth 50% less..is it a sig u can find again

Normally I would do that but in this case it is not a signature that I can find it again. At least not in my price range. This was a Ringo Starr autographed photo that I'm talking about. It was already authenticated by Beckett. Those don't come up too often in my price range of under $500. Usually what I find in my price range I basically unauthenticated autographs

Have u tried Perry cox.he sold a few recently on Ebay and they weren't much

You should be able to find another one. I have two of them. It isn’t valuable enough to invest in restoration and if it’s drymounted it’s permanent. I would also advise you to either return it or ask for a discount.

just so u know drymounting isn't permament but yes y should get a discount or return it

In haste but the very reason drymounting is not considered archival is because it is generally permanent/irreversible.
