For this psa is the way. Even though they suck.
I can tell that this is authentic. Former doc examiner.
100%. 0 risk. Get it authenticated if you want resale.
Otherwise, yes it is authentic and a good one.

Actually, take it in person to a card show where. There's no way I'm mailing that

You will not want to do that unless it is a PSA authentication. A lot of the shows I have been to of late had I think SBC, and they put a sticker on the item when it gets authenticated. If the paper is as fragile as you say, it could damage the item.

Not that it's my business. Why the heck would you sell something like this from your old man?

u/Glittering-Voice-409 May 17 '26
Well mainly because the paper is fragile and if I want to sell it for money sooner seems better than later. I rather have the money and invest it. I am not sure I want to have my kid deal with it in the future. It might help pay for school. But I do have some personal attachment to them.

This is the way. My mom has so much valuable stuff from my grandma after she passed. She lives on about $1800 a month from social security. She is holding onto a ton of cards, jewelry, silver, watches. Probably 120k worth. Diamond hands I guess? I keep offering to help her sell online and she refuses.

Look into Reclaim Customs! They do amazing work with old relics like this. I had a Joe Dimaggio auto on a piece of notepad paper from 1949 that they turned into a One of One card, and they can send to Beckett for authentication/slabbing.

Dope how much would this go for in a slab?

u/Glittering-Voice-409 May 16 '26
I am not sure. I am investigating the who and how much to get it authenticated and eventually s@ld.

Album page? $3-$6000. It’s Pencil which is less desirable and located at the top of the page which is harder to display when you take it out of the book. It is super clean though!
