APPRAISER: You brought for us today a program featuring on the cover Steve Prefontaine.
GUEST: Oh yeah.
APPRAISER: And you're familiar with Prefontaine?
GUEST: Oh, everybody in this state should know his name.
APPRAISER: (chuckling) Steve Prefontaine actually signed it.
GUEST: Yeah.
APPRAISER: We looked at it, we feel strongly that it's authentic. We think, you know, again it's a similar example to some of the autographs he's rendered.
GUEST: Oh, okay.
APPRAISER: The interesting thing is this is dated May 9, 1975. Just three weeks later, on May 30...
GUEST: Yes.
APPRAISER: He passed away. A car accident here in Oregon.
GUEST: Yes. Outside of Eugene.
APPRAISER: We think it's important for you to have the autographs looked at by a third party authentication company. Again, we feel strongly about the authenticity. We think at auction, this could bring a value of $2,500...
GUEST: Wow.
APPRAISER: ...to $5,000.
GUEST: All righty.
