I thought it looked unusual, but didn't have the characteristics of most forgeries ... I didn't see anything I disliked, so I thought it was worth asking the experts.

Agree it appears to be in pencil. It is not in my collection.

Appears to be a poster.

Thanks Drew

hard to tell without seeing it, but the signature does closely resemble his 60's style.

Drew, I only meant to post the second comment, about it resembling his 60's style. The more I looked at it, the more I began to question it, which is why I said would need to see it in person. I have since been told by someone that I respect highly, that it is likely not authentic. I apologize for the confusion.
