I would guess $50 to $100 because it is not in very good condition, and what would you do with it, mount it on glass?  There are a lot of items out there that are not commonly seen, I saw photos of one collection where the guy had beautiful Edison advertisements that I did not know existed.  I do not feel bad for him, I searched for about three years before I found phono info and that was before the days of the computer and only because I wanted to collect.  In the day of easy information access there is no excuse for such monumental foolishness.  You are correct, who would want a wrinkled decal bad enough to pay over $5000 and no matter what his reserve if he started it out at $1.00 he would see what it was worth.  Something makes me think that, even if the decal is exactly what this guysays, and let's assume that we could prove if it is the only one left, andthen taking into account that such a decal back in the day was probably notuncommon, it just seems that the value of such a thing could not exceed manyhundreds of dollars to perhaps a few thousand?
