Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be a pin-up poster print of Marilyn Monroe, published by Pin-ups, Dept. X, Box 86, Boston, Mass in 1953. For just 2 US $ you could order this poster print of the young Marilyn Monroe. These prints have been offered and sold repeatedly at auction. A poster print in perfect condition would sell for up to 1500 USD. Most poster prints with slight wear sell in the 600-1200 USD range. Poster prints with damages sell as low as 200 USD. An experienced paper restorer ( ask your local museum) might be able to restore it. But the restoration might be as expensive as the price for a poster in perfect condition. An insurance value would be 2000 USD ( perfect condition poster sold at auction + buyer´s premium). Similar is currently on offer in the trade for approx. 3000 USD.
