Interesting find - autographs

planepics Loc: St. Louis burbs, but originally Chicago burbs
 
I was looking through my late mom (and current dad's) old albums that haven't been played in years, but I got a new turntable and am going through them. My mom's favorite actor was Jim Nabors (AKA Gomer Pyle). Tucked away among the dozen or so albums was a what do you call it....a showbill? for The Jim Nabors Show from 1971. It has two signatures. Jim Nabors and another actor/comedian I'd never heard of, Ronnie Schell. The other participant didn't sign, Jackie De Shannon (never heard of her, either). Jim Nabors' autographs are all over the map on E-bay. I'm not sure what it's worth or if I should ask my dad if I should sell it or keep it. My parent's had bought LPs from several of their tips - my mom was a travel agent. I listened to a record from Austria before dinner and there are several Hawaiian records as well.

Probably worth something , but its a good bet you're not going to retire on it. maybe not even a Happy Meal.

Ronnie Schell played Duke Slater on the show Gomer Pyle: USMC. He also had parts in many many other shows from 1958 forward. Born in 1931 and still alive I think.

Ronnie Schell was an actor on the Gomer Pyle show. He replaced Corporal Boyle later on in the show’s run.
