in this case I agree with some of what Kerry says, however the real
key is this:
#1 Bette's autograph isn't big bucks $100 or so depending on factors
#2 I can't tell if it's a 1940s vintage autograph or a 1970s
autograph (and it makes a difference)
so the best you would be looking for is this $300 poster with a $100
autograph = $400
this is not the same as the It Happened One Night tc in Heritage soon
with a Frank Capra autograph
Capra's autograph is worth less than Bette's about $50, but in that
particular combination, the card could be worth a lot more than before
if such a card were inscribed "To Claudette, it was wonderful working
with you on this movie" that would increase the item greatly

If the autograph cannot be authenticated (not meaning a COA that
anyone can create and print), and is a fake, it would bring the
poster's value way down. In looking at the seller's description, he
mentions nothing about where the autograph came from or who obtained
it. He only talks about who the person may have been that it was
inscribed to.
And for many poster collectors, even an authentic signature on a
poster is viewed as a kind of graffiti. So even if genuine, the
signature wouldnt necessarily boost the value, but could drop it as
well.
Ultimately, it would be of more value to a collector who likes posters
or other memorabilia that is signed.
I see, too, that Bruce just sold a backed copy of this OS in December
2011, for 368.00.
