Very similar to the signature used on his 71 topps card

The owner says that it was obtained in 1968.

1968 Binghamton autographs.

If the Munson is real, that is quite a valuable piece. His first year in pro ball.

Cool piece!

Thanks a lot everyone! Any idea on value?

Good.

Is $2,000 a reasonable price?

I am thinking that number would be on the upper end of the "potentially too much" zone for that piece. Love the boldness of the autograph but the media isn't the best. My guess is cut your number in half and that would be a pretty fair price for a Munson collector to pay.
