Default Anyone familiar with Bowling autographs?

I have a framed bowling autograph that I have no idea of the value. Can anyone help? I don't even know who this guy is. It's 15" x 12" , professionally framed with a glossy b&w photo and cut signature of Andy Varipapa. Any info on pricing is greatly appreciated. It is for sale so if you are interested please let me know.
Tony

He was very popular in the 1950's, but not that uncommon. I believe you will also find him on one of those Equitable Life prints.

Just send it to me.

Andy Varipapa is the originator of the Andy Varipapa "300" game.

Twelve strikes in a row in a single game is the only way to score 300.

Andy thought that twelve strikes in a row was just as significant an accomplishment, if the string of strikes spanned two games.

Thus if you finish one game with six strikes and start the next game with six more strikes, you would have bowled an "Andy Varipapa 300".

His trick shots were legendary as well.

How much would I pay for the item depends, but it is a nice item for a bowler, who knows the history of bowling.
