Hi,

I got this note from my friend who was visiting me from Finland some time ago. He got the note from local Forex in Finland and gave it to me.

In the back of the note it is written: Carl "Kalle" Brewer #2 IFK '68 - '69 and after that something which I can't make out (jibberish).

Carl Brewer used to play for IFK Helsinki in Finland for the '68 - '69 season, his number back then wasn't #2 if I am correct..and when he played for IFK and "Kalle" was his nickname back then so probably somebody in Finland wrote on the back of the note.

s/n is: AIJ5716205

Can anybody make out what is written on the right side (back)?
Also can somebody tell me what the note is worth (if it is worth anything now with the writing on it)?

Hopefully I can upload the image correctly.

Thanks.

Jorkka.

I would say it's worth $20 to paper money collectors, but probably a little more to sports autograph collectors...

I think it says "Good Luck! Sauda" at the end.

The note is worth $20 face Value.   As for it having any other value to anyone else I would think someone would want proof that the note is in fact autographed by the actual person as opposed to someone just writing on the note...
Personally I feel it's a spender..... :)

I'm not an autograph expert, but this does look authentic.  Compare it to the one shown on this site: http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/carl-brewer-signed-photo-maple-leafs-autograph

By the looks of things, I'd say it should have some value as a sports autograph.  Good luck jorkka!
