<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 292637, member: 33"]I can't really address this very well, but have one example from about 10 years ago. I had purchased two cabinet photos of well-known people of the 19th century. One was an actress and the other was a male opera singer (an Italian whose name I forget, but he was well known back then). I paid $15 at an antique mall for both... so average of $7.50 each. The opera singer's name was written on the front, under his name that was printed on the card mount. I found his signature online, and it did look the same to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>That was during the one year that I was an eBay seller. I listed the opera singer on eBay, since I don't really collect photos of opera singers. It sold for $125, I think! But... this was 10 years ago. I did not say in the listing that the signature was definitely his. Just that it did resemble his signature. The person who bought it didn't care about that. I think he just collected photos of opera singers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
