The most disappointing part of this experience is that they ruined the signed photo. This signed photo, which is valued at $100+, was glued to a piece of mat board in Hobby Lobby quality work and was mounted touching the glass. This

My father was a painter, illustrator and cartoonist. His work included paintings for galleries and cartooning for both the NAACP newspaper and, in the 1940s, Stars and Stripes magazine. He also headed the graphic arts department for the US 5th Army. His passing left my brother and me with examples of his work, all created in the late 1930s to 1970s, none of which were framed. In particular, we were left several cartoon storyboards, a painting and two beautiful pastel pencil drawings on velum. One of the velum drawings, circa 1945, was badly cracked and damaged. I brought all of the above
