What to do with this auto? Vito, where you at?

I have mentioned this golf program before but had the year wrong. It is a tournament program for the 1979 Byron Nelson Classic. It is auto'd on the front cover in black sharpie by Byron Nelson. Found this a few years ago at my grandfather's house in a large box of old golfing mags. Tourney was held in Dallas about 3 hours from here. My grandfather said he had gotten autos from a bunch of different players but I couldn't find any.

Any real value in the program as is? The auto is kind of faded and blurred because of the glossy cover. Shold I try to sell it or get one of the cutcard guys on here to make me a cut auto card? The authenticity is not a question. I cropped down the pic so you could see the auto and the header of the mag cover.

probably worth $25-40 on eBay as it is...i'd keep it for sentimental value since it belonged to your grandfather

I wholeheartedly concur. If you wanted a Nelson cut auto card (which is a cool idea), you can pick up a cut sig on eBay for no more than $40 and then whatever Knuckles charges.

I'm about 2 weeks away from launching my website for all of my BS. It'll be my professional film marketing website etc, but I have a personal section with cards, golf, baseball and basketball stuff. I'll post a link here when it's up. You can all laugh at the headshot that I had taken for the Berlin Film Festival 2 years ago.
