Hi, I recently got this from an estate. What do you guys think? It seems like the real deal, It's on a 8x10 I'm planing on getting this authenticated to display in my collection. Hoping you guys can give me an opinion on it. I hope it is as I love Marilyn <3 Been collecting her vintage stuff for years. Also any good recommendations on places for authenticity? Thanks P.S. Love the Blog :)

It is not authentic. Likely a secretarial inscribed and autographed item.
Its a very lovely secretarial signing. Its authentic in its own way, as being sent probably from 20th Fox to a fan in response to a request. Certainly signed in her lifetime. Anything after August 1962 is a forgery, not a secretarial. They had teams of ladies signing on her behalf at Fox. This is a hand I have rarely seen before though. But as you can see, a well practiced hand, so whoever did, did it regularly, signing for Marilyn with quite a flourish. Professional.
Not a good deal if you indeed are the buyer
I feel sorry since it seems to have been sold for pretty good amount of Money .

Obviously the buyer is under the impression its Marilyn's own hand but the way the advert is worded doesn't actually say it is her hand, but not does it make a point of saying it is a secretarial, which it clearly is.
Can anyone do anything about this on Ebay? People are thick, you can put secretarial all over a sale on there and they will still read somehow that its the real thing. Wishful thinking can take over.
A secretarial is worth between $200-$1000 at most I would say, depending on the photo? hard to place a value, there are some at auction houses not quite admitting they are secretarials for $2 and $3k
