Poster
Thanks to everyone for your comments, suggestions and words of wisdom! I have no doubt that the poster is vintage simply by the way it was aquired. As mentioned, it was part of an estate where the original owner, who was elderly, used it as a backer for picture. Everything was sold as a lot and the poster was found only after taking apart the picture. I'm not so naive as to think good fakes and forgeries don't exist, but in this case it is highly doubtful.
As was pointed out, I failed to mention the overall size...roughly 14"x22". Can someone point me into a reputable appraiser of such items and/or a reputable auctioneer that specializes in baseball memorabilia? That may help me decide to either sell as is or restore and sell. In the meantime, it's going into a safe deposit box!
I'll post updates as they occur.
drc: When you mentioned 5 figures, I hope that meant a comma with no decimal points. Ha!
