Default Value of this 1945 Commissioner's contract

I've been wondering what the value of this 1945 Commissioner's contract is worth and thought I'd get opinions here. The contract is between the owners and AB Chandler, and is signed by a Chandler along with a representative of each team and the league including: Connie Mack, Eddie Collins, Branch Rickey, Larry MacPhail, Ford Frick, William Harridge, Clark Griffith, Happy Chandler and others.

I picked this up a pretty recently from one of the less mainstream auction houses. (Happy to list the price shortly, and it's not hard to find by Googling, but would love opinions that are not based on the sale price, since I bid without any clear idea of what the market value would be, and it sold at a somewhat obscure auction house.)

In my mind, Chandler's becoming commissioner played a role in Jackie breaking into the Majors, so it fits my integration collection.

Document is around 12 pages. I'm posting the pages with signatures.
