I think you need to look at the relative value between the autograph and the photo. There are many 'officially licensed' photos that are completely legit, however they are only worth a small percentage of what the autograph would be worth. An example might be a Mantle or Dimaggio autographed Photofile photo. In this case, I don't see a big impact on the value or ability to sell the item. People will be more concerned with the legitimacy of the auto than the photo.
If the photo itself holds the majority of the value (think an Type II Conlon photo), then there may be a hit on the value of the item.
So ask yourself, where is the value in the item? Is it the photo or the auto?
