Cy Young signed photo
I have seen this signed photo on eBay. My 1st impression is that the sig looks right to me and I collect his autograph. This appears to be a decent example of his later life sig. I would tell you that his autograph is frequently faked and I would be leery of buying this item without examining it up close. I would actually estimate it's potential value at north of the range that was thrown out there in this thread. Maybe $1200 or so if it is deemed real.
BTW- The deal breaker for me as a collector was that this photo of 'Ol Cy is not one that I particularly liked to look at. He obviously is on his last leg. I would prefer to purchase a photo of Cy during his playing days. Note the pen(s) in his breast pocket. He was definately a prolific signer back in his day.
