As always, appreciate your help Eric! I also think it might have a shot. And since I own this one, I of course hope so…

I wouldn't buy that signed photo, personally.  It does look like there's a swoop missing around the "a".  There are many Bourdain signature's that I'm sure are genuine, but that one I'm not so sure.
