Hello, as an aside, framed items often (no not always) may conceal improper framing materials, or worse, damage. Insist on an in hand out of frame exam with return. Suppose it is stuck in with silver duck tape? I've seen vintage items "secured' with SOLDER! Food for thought.

It's signed in thick cartridge pen, and I've rarely seen him sign so carefully and vertically. There are also letter shapes I don't care for, and the small letters are unusually high compared to the large ones. For those reasons, I wouldn't recommend buying it.

John Wayne is popular but he's not hard to find. You can buy a nice, no question genuine autograph in the $600-$900 range.
