Hi there, wanted to share this with you. It is your picture being sold on another site at $180. I am no professional but have fun and like the old signatures, especially from the 40s.

I put your Humphrey Bogart on my photo editor and found another one just like it. I'll post the two together to show you that they are identical and auto penned or prints. I found it being sold as a original signature from a ladies grandmothers collection. I hope somebody does their homework and realizes that it is not original as she says it is.

Thanks! I had a feeling it was not real. But still a fun piece. Any idea what it’s worth as a postcard? 

Thanks for info on the Greenwood photo!

Well I found one for $6.52 just like yours but the same picture with an original signature by him selling for over $1,000. I've always been attracted to the story first and then I look at the value afterwards. I know that's not the way to do it but it's the way I do it. I don't want somebody looking at something that I have and say, "Oh my gosh, how much did you pay for that?" I want them to say after I tell them about it , "that's a cool story". It may have a little bit to do with my redneck and blue collar background, I'm not sure. I have a couple of things that are worth some money but the favorite things that I have seem to not be monetarily significant but more along the lines of Irreplaceable items such as my Grandpa's High School yearbook from 1927 with original Kodak pictures of Texas Tech University, who was 3 years old at the time approximately. No blacktop roads and no signs of downtown that surround it now. And also in it is a signature from the first Chancellor or president of the University. See what I mean? Not monetarily attractive but it is a cool story and something I wouldn't part with for any amount of money.

Here's your Jerry Colonna on my photo editor with the same photo as yours. Selling in the $500 range. There's a few differences in the signatures that you might get someone to look at on this site.

No Autopens in the time of the Garland - simple preprint.
