Craig WHi Amber, congratulations on having such a rare item. A few things you may want to keep in mind:
1. Don't try to repair it or clean it up - leave it just the way it is.
2. There is a link at the top of the page called vintage links. Click on it and then click on Auction sites. It will bring up a list of Auction House that deal in this type of memorabilia. You can talk to them in person and figure out which you'ld like to auction it for you, or you can talk to Leon and others on this forum to get their recommendation of which Auction House to use.
3. Someone made a comment about your email stacking up. That's because we're guessing that a lot of collectors are already contacting you and offering to buy it from you. If you go that route, don't take too little. Leon said $3K, so I'd set that as a minimum. There are collectors out there that we call Whales. To them, $5K or more is nothing considering the rarity of your item.
4. Some of the guys on this forumn are happiest when they can argue about something, so that's what's going on with the debate as to who is on the photo. So get yourself a bowl of popcorn and a cold drink and enjoy the debate!
Best Regards,
Craig
