Auctions are quicker, but a pdf of the original might net the same amount of money for the game legend in question. IF the pdfs were available at a reachable price, I know I'd be buying them.

Or maybe I am wrong (and then the second question is: did Ernie keep a photocopy? Or absent that, would TFM be kind enough to allow a copy to be made for publication?).

My wife is a little miffed that I paid that amount for some that is only 12 x 9 though. I tried to explain the historical and collector value of the piece and the signatures, but she does not get it. Oh well, I love her anyway!!!John ** expired/removed eBay auction **

In other words the item could be immediately resold for your money back, if not a small profit.Note - this point is best made as you're going out the door, so that her question of "So why don't you sell it?" bounces harmlessly away.
