I want to make this very clear at the beginning. This is NOT a post to sell/auction off this item and the one and only thing i'm looking for is information/a price range; NOT an offer.
_______________________________________________
I have in my possession a very VERY rare (1 of 1) 47x37 picture of 24 famous golfers back in the 80's and 90's. What makes it so special is that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM SIGNED THEIR SIGNATURE! It has documentation of the signatures being legit and not fake.
The story behind the photo: The owner of a donation organization asked the golfers in a fundraising golf tournament if he could get a picture of them all and sign the photo to be placed in an auction with the highest bid donated. The agents that pretty much own the golfers and tell them what they can and can't do said no but the golfers got together and did it anyways since it was going for a greater good (which is why its 1 of 1). The picture was auctioned off at an amazing $10,000..in 1991! 21 years ago. The picture was then passed down to a good neighbor of my family who is not interested in golf at all so he gave it to us as a gift.
The question: What exactly is this thing worth? I'm not very educated in this field and i don't know very much about the golfers back then. I do know that a few of these people are deceased making the signatures worth more. But thats about all i know. Anyone have a clue? I have no idea where else to go with this besides pawn stars but i don't really wanna pay $1,000 just to ship it over to Las Vegas + travel lol..
Sorry for the glares. was tough to get a good shot without them. yes it is framed and yes there is a crack in the glass :[ but the picture is in mint condition.
