Looking for information on a Ted Williams and Cy Young autographed photo.

Hi all,

 This is my first post on the forums, so I apologize if this is in the wrong place. My father grew up in and around Boston and went to many, many Red Sox, Celtics, and Patriots games. He always told me about all of these autographs he collected but they all seemed to be lost over time. One day we visit my grandparents and we find a box with some of his old autographs and memorabilia.  Inside the box is a photograph of Ted Williams in uniform sitting in a dugout with a very old Cy Young. It is signed on the front by Ted Williams. On the back it says "Ted Williams and Cy Young, Cooperstown NY, Hall of Fame Game 1955." Underneath that is stamped "Herbert G. Havens, P.O. Box 254, Springfield Mass." 
 I can't find any information on the picture online, anything on Herbert G. Havens, nor could I find another picture like it on the internet. I am wondering:

1). Would anyone here be able to tell me anything about it?

2). If not, where might you suggest I turn to find information on it or its potential value (not looking to hit a goldmine; really just curious).

 I am not an avid collector and really just happened upon this and found it pretty neat. Any information or advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Hi, hello, how are ya? welcome.
Congratulations on your "find". It may be a good idea to send just one or two autos to PSA to authenticate. That will keep your expense to a minimum. If they are good then send the others. There is no one more accurate or respected in the industry. Also when they have the PSA verification they will increase in value.

Hi and thank you for your response. Since I am a complete novice at this, how would I go about doing this? I appreciate your time.

You could try posting a picture here to begin with. Otherwise, just go on to the psa DNA website and that will walk you through the process

Craig44, thanks for your response. I posted a picture of the front and back in the post above this one. I appreciate your time.

I noticed some of the letters in the last name are rubbed out so that hurts the value, but it's worth getting PSA authentication. Maybe worth $200 or so.
