I know the ink is not the strongest. Judy Garland at the Palace 1956

So, I have decided to keep this one. I tried to sell it for reasons of finance, but have opted to hold it for its unique dedication and content. Of course it could be a bit stronger. I have seen much lighter examples of her hand - this aligns with my love for 1954's A Star is Born, the original still of which I share below the autograph. This is made out to David Bines, the Lighting and Scenic Designer at The Palace in 1956, and it is a matte finish double weight print. Opinions so far have been to keep it, unique etc.

Eddy, there is no one else I'd rather hear that from. Thank you.

I really do mean that. It's unique and of the era of that great film. The bit of scratchiness in the ink only adds to the vintage feel of it in this case.

thank you Eddy. I really mean that. I'm starting to think it might be a hell of a piece. I have the program and the playbill. Both use this as the cover.
