Where to sell a strange auto?

Hey everyone, I made an incredible pickup at Goodwill this last weekend, but have NO idea where to sell this thing...

I got an autogtaphed picture of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos - autoed by Ferdinand.

For those of you who don't know, he was the President of the Phillipines from the mid 60's until the mid 80's when he was overthrown and fled the phillipines for Hawaii. Widely considered a dictator, he stole BILLIONS from the people of the phillipines. It is said that his bank accounts contained 35 billion dollars when he passed away (in 1989) and the philipino national debt was only 27 Billion... not a very nice guy

But he's dead, and it's a strange piece. There are a lot of Philipino neighborhoods around here, and I can only assume that someone got the "President's autograph" and had it displayed proudly in their house until they found out what he was really doing to his people -

I have seen a couple of his autograph selling on ebay, but there is very little interest. Does anyone have ANY idea where to sell this and maximize my selling potential?

well, I'm not concerned about a forgery, but Most auction houses will JSA/PSA/DNA, whomever an item before it is sold - I'm trying to find a venue that would be appropriate, I am not concerned about it's authenticity

Well, what do you think the value of the item is in your mind? This will help you determine what avenue you should take in selling this item
