This is your last ebay chance! We have been asked by a MAJOR auction house to let them include this painting in their July auction. I am going to list this here one more time. I can PROMISE you will pay more at the auction house.   The photos on the bottom are close up photos from the back of the painting taken at the time of cleaning. We also found a KNOWN Sam Cherry painting (the picture with the brown board) that had almost identical markings on the back. We even found a third one marked "TSR" that is a known Sam Cherry cover art done for Thrilling Ranch Stories.  We ALSO then overlayed the word "June" on the known Sam Cherry onto the word "July" on this painting. They match. They appear to have been written by the same person. You can download the photos and do this comparison yourself. This is just more information for you to consider. This is an authentic American western treasure. This is an original oil by renowned illustrator Sam Cherry. Painted in 1949 to be used on the cover of Thrilling Ranch Stories. It was used on the July 1949 issue in America and the February 1950 issue in Europe. Please check those dates it is confusing, but it is easily found. Go to www.Philsp.com/mags/thrilling_ranch_stories.html. This comes with paperwork from a 2011 appraisal and recommendation for restoration. It is very important to note the appraiser did NOT determine who the actual artist is. They did NOT attempt to find out, so the value is nowhere near accurate without that information!  It was professionally touched up and cleaned afterwards and that receipt is also included. At that time the back was sealed. However, a photo of the writing on the inside was taken. It clearly dates it and shows it was used for TRS. Thrilling Ranch Stories. There are also the words "western stories" that was written. Sam Cherry also did covers for them! Those words are marked out, and this art was used for Thrilling Ranch Stories. There is no doubt of authenticity. But if you wish to have it examined, we will make it available to you or your expert to come here to examine. Smaller Sam Cherry art has gone for much, MUCH higher prices. This will appreciate in value. It will be shipped fully insured and there will be no games or returns. The painting will be securely packed and shipped insured. It can be yours!  The painting was featured on an upcoming episode of Draw Western Theater on WBON TV and Draw Western TV on Roku. This is a very rare chance to own a museum quality Sam Cherry Thrilling Ranch Stories cover used art. Ask and all questions. We were asked by two major auction houses for them to handle this. But we would rather you not have to pay a huge (as much as 20-30%) buyer's premium.
