Hi Matthew.  For trade no, but I do have a very nice signed and framed cut that I actually bought from our fellow AL member Sam Lawson some 10-12 years ago.  Our friendship just bloomed from there and we're still in touch today.  I have the COA somewhere, and I believe I still have the original receipt that Sam was given when he purchased it.  The photos are on page 9 of my photos page, but the best shot you'll get to see is the close-up one.  the Full shot got too much flash and washed some of it out, but shows how nicely it is framed.  It came in an already fancy bubble matted, foam backing with the autograph fit nicely inside to help preserve it.  It's all one piece and whoever did it did a very nice job.  Also, on the same wall, you'll see I bought his gold record for his Greatest Hits album that sits right next to it.  the close-up shot will show you that the auto is graded a good 9/10, or 8.5/10 at the very lightest.  Sam can probably give you more history on it, but I have no clue what I'd sell it for, never thought about it until now, since I've got all the greats in Brando, Dean, Monroe, Bogart and the others from the famous Street of Dreams photos you see from time to time.

Hi Matthew.  I have the same COA that I had when I bought it from Sam here.  Pac Signatures, who was pretty reliable back then, about 10-12 years ago.  any expert can see this is a very nice sig of the famous crooner, and I offer the same lifetime guarantee that Sam offered to me.  I have over 700 autographs, some quite expensive, so i haven't had the chance to send it to PSA yet.  I prefer them over JSA when it comes to music, but do trust JSA when it comes to sports.  Price-wise, I really don't know, please feel  free to make an offer.  I can see Sam spent quite a few hundred dollars just matting this piece, and doesn't even include the frame.  I bought that from Hobby Lobby for about $60 bucks or so.  Feel free to ask Sam Lawson if you have any more questions on this, he's a great guy and has a very nice collection of his own.  As I stated, I still have the original receipt he received when he first purchased this way back when.....what we really like about this is he took just a little more time signing this cut, where so many folks were lined up to get his autograph, quite a bit of them were a bit sloppy...not this one.  either way, thanks for your interest & nice to meet you.
