I believe this is one of those authentic reprints. There are other ones out there with different of 5000 numbers and they look identical: Like this one on ebay. #1737 0f 5000.

Very enterprising indeed if they made 5000 fakes as it appears.

Correct, Doug. I've observed that image in a wood frame hundreds of times on Ebay over the years.

Assuming this has live ink and is not a printed signature, I believe it to be authentic and would pass professional authentication.

The signature is good assuming it is not a re-print.

It does appear to be a copy of a legit signed photo that has been re-printed with someone adding limited edition numbers to make it appear as a legit signed photo.
