RE: Hidden auction treasure, unveiling the $10,000 movie poster

Yes there are several ways to check authenticity of items though it is getting quite challenging as anything valuable is being replicated. The hats were expensive then and they are now as well. The ones illustrated sold for $500 each which is not really a bad price but I can't justify the price to make money with. I have sold similar for upward $2000. So depending on the manufacturer date and condition the value can be extreme. I have a leather hat box coming in next week from the same estate that the auction was held for, no hat but the boxes are really hard to come by
