The only way that could be more awesome is if Authenticity 100% Guaranteed was spelled wrong.

The cast is from To Tell the Truth, it is listed as being a cast photo from I've Got a Secret.

It is a failure from soup to nuts.

Look at Bill. If Garry Moore is your host, do you think that's from I've Got A Secret?

(Plenty of other tells, but that's an easy one and the point is that this guy is claiming authenticity of a picture that he doesn't even know the origin of.)

FWIW, I did first think it was from the mid-70s summer version, which Bill hosted. Then it hit me that that wasn't the fail. :-P

Okay. Fair cop. I should've read more carefully.

I wonder if the seller has an autographed TTTT photo with Henry Morgan, Bess Myerson, Betsy Palmer, Cullen and Moore.

In seller's defense, the signatures look legit, at least the two I would recognize.  He probably acquired the picture and just didn't do his homework.
