13th Authentic Jackie Gleason SP I have ever seen. The others are all shown here.

Hi All,

I have finally located an obviously authentic signed photograph of Jackie Gleason. He is so very rare. Incredibly underrated. Signed vintage cuts are the norm; signed photographs, in any role or straight portrait, are just not around. The last I saw was a 1962 Ektachrome 16x20 color signed mounted photo - and I sold it. This is C. 1950. Only authentic signed photo I've seen between 1945 and 1962.

Enjoy!

The detail of this glossy 6x8 is amazing. Better than any other period print I've handled. I wish the ink was blue but you can't get everything.

I've only seen the ones you've posted over the years and this one is a cracker. Did you get this online or local? He is one on my list to get but it's likely to be a long wait

Thank you Dan. I found it online. I was working on Hiroshima stuff when the hairs on my neck stood up and said "look for Gleason now" and I did - there it was. It's like a spider sense - has hapened before. Other than a very few 1940's SP's from his first and failed venture in Hollywood, there are about 3 SP's from the 70's (just 1 Honeymooners bus photo and 2 Bandit), 3 from the 60's (1 Soldier in the Rain, 1 Hustler and 1 golf porttrait in color 16x20 which I found and sold) and that is all I know of after all these years! Never saw this image signed. Other than the 5x7 I have which is unable to be authenticated and a letter on his stationary which I believe is authentic. NO secretaries sign "jockie" as Gleason did. That is a help.
