Default Original Photo, and authentic sig

I recieved the photo from my great uncle, who had a killer collection, when i was 12, along with a hat of cy's. My great uncle recieved the photo from john benedum, who cy lived with from 1930's on. When cy died he left his estate to john and ruth benedum, thats why the photo reads from john benedum on the back. And the photo was signed with a blue ball point pen, the writing on the back is in green marker, and 1968 is when my uncle recieved it. I know that it's the "real deal", and I know that hat was cy's, it's proving it that's difficult. THe hat, I belive is from 1935. Cy started a traveling team of retired players, it was a bust, and cy returned to the benedum's home that same year. Any help on the hat would be greatly appericated, I know someone out there may know something about it.
