Default Hall of Famer / Brooklyn Dodgers Autographs

Hello everyone, this is my first post to the forums on this website. I have a picture I want you guys to look at and give me some advice. My mother purchased a box of magazines at an estate auction years ago before she passed away. Inside the box were old Cincinnati Reds yearbooks and two Brooklyn Dodgers yearbooks. They are the 1954 and 1955 versions. While thumbing through the 1955 yearbook we found a 3x5 notecard that is in the picture with autographs from several Dodger players including Pee Wee, Gil Hodges, Clem Labine, and Don Drysdale. Come to find out the estate auction was for a sports announcer that worked for the Reds in the 1950's. On one of the Reds yearbooks there is an autograph of Ted Kluszewski on the front and Cubs great Ernie Banks on the back. Anyway, back to the notecard. What would you all recommend to get the most value out of it? I don't know much about how or where to get it graded or certified. Is it worth more money as one piece or slabbed out? Any input you might have would be greatly appreciated.

Beautiful item. In my opinionated opinion it would be a sin to "slab it out".

i would post this on the Autograph Forum side to get an opinion; however, I don"t feel personally and as an autograph collector that you will gain a lot of value by slabbing this piece.

FYI: Don Bessent is the most valuable piece on there...

Don Bessent is a semi-rare signature, as he only pitched for 3 years in the majors and didn't sign much after baseball. He tragically died in 1990 of alcohol poisoning.

Here's a cool site with a page for every HoFer. It has a ton of Dodgers in there, many not yet in the Hall. It's mostly autographs but features some stories too. Hope you like it.
