Old country music, bluegrass music autographs with photo found in dad's estate

Hi, my dad recently passed away. He was a huge country music, bluegrass music fan. Among his things, inside the cover of a Johnny Cash record I found an 8X10 photo of Kitty Wells standing in front of a bus with 7 men. On the bus it read "Kitty Wells-Johnny Wright".

On the back of the photo there are several autographs. It says to "Ethel" Sincerely, Kitty Wells. Ethel was my aunt, my dad's older sister. My aunt knew how much my dad loved country music. These are some of the autographs on it:

Johnny Cash

Loretta Lynn

Ella Fitzgerald

Tammy Wynette

Charlie Pride

Little Beaner

Bobbie Wright

Hank Snow

Johnny Wright

Joyce Nicholls

and a few others.

I am looking into selling it. I am attaching two pictures of it. I can be reached at hygieneguru@comcast.net

Thanks,

Tami McKay

Wow Tami,

That looks very interesting. A really cool piece indeed. You have some of the biggest country legends of the time right their on one photo. Merle, Johnny, Hank, Pride, and the list goes on. A great item for sure. Pieces like this are not that common really. I might suggest that you consider an auction type setting such as RR Auction. If this hits ebay, i would guess it would only get a fraction of what it would at auction. I could be wrong, but all those names is a very good drawl for a country music fan. And your almost assured of 100 to 150 dollars from the Cash signature alone. Anyway, its something you might want to look into.

Great piece,

Good luck selling,

Carl
