I think it’s fine. 

It’s good. Dedications will most likely always decrease value, although some collectors don’t mind owning them, especially when the autograph is scarce. With those and the creases in the poster, I’d place value no greater than half of the listed amount. 

I agree about the dedication I disagree about the folds on this poster ,there called mechanical folds and they were issiued that way it was an album insert.

but yes still over over priced

Yes I understand they came with the album and they are mechanical. It’s still going to show unless you mount it to a foam board (which you don’t want to do). 

Hi again.

Thank you all for the feedback on the autographs.  As it turns out, I've had some minor pieces "foam mounted".  Sounds like this might not be a good practice going forward?

Probably worth about 1000 at best since it's personalized and has folds.  Foam mounting usually decreases the value of a poster.  Better way is to have it mounted on linen. Preserves it and can decrease the folds and imperfections. 

+1 for true Belgian linen mounting on a vacuum table. Good posters are stabilized this way. 

1938 test printing (7x10) by Joseph Binder (1898-1972) for the 1939 New York World's Fair promotional poster. Grinnell Lithograph Company.

I appreciate all of your comments and information and am grateful that you are willing to educate my efforts to start this collection.

Thank you !

All the best - Michael

You are welcome - this is a great place with great people :)

PS - I love dedications! Another texture, even a time frame and/or location - context!
