That looks like it might be good but the scan seems "hot" or "burnt" and low res or pixelated - the bottom of the "g" or ending paraph for example are only visible at extreme angle and I can't get a read on the surface or ink at all so more I can not say.

It is on EBay right now with a Margaret Hamiliton and someone else. I have the movie edition of Oz - the green binding with the stars pics in front signed by MH - got it when she was in a play in the 70s with Rex Harrison - got him too - does that make me an autograph pig?

Yes, scan slightly better in the auction - overcontrasted and with "auto" levels" on during scan it appears. It is blown out. My guess is it is rippled from the glue used to paste it to another sheet and/or has some other issue(s) which should reveal in Photoshop. Not "excellent" in my book. 

Prev post was to say "I am off TO look at this thing ON eBay."

I believe the item might look a bit more like this. It is still a bit overjuiced in terms of color, that yellow, but I am limited to the initial exposure.

Sure, no problem. I would think a few hundred, early/mid 1960's it appears, but the others I am not up on re values etc. The rippling is not helping and the yellow paper presents a bit of a framing equation to work out. "Love" and a year like "1967" would be a great help.

I said "overcontrasted" - it was really over-brightened mostly.

Without any detailed analysis at all I'd say it looks and feels right.

The low res and "texture" of that scan make any further read of the paper and ink impossible to me anyway. One should not have to do Photoshop calisthenics to see an item like this. Having said that, it appears OK in form and style - mid 1960's likely.
