My bet is that it's a promo photo then with pre-printed autographs. The color of the ink isn't that of a ball point pen of the time. It could be your scanner bringing out the blue, but I'd expect to see the blue ink blend in with the black photo more if it were an actual pen. It should not stand out like that over the black parts, at least I've never seen it. It's also first names only, and the autographs look flawless. All of this is very consistent with printed autographs.
Like I say, look at it through magnification. That'll tell you for sure if it's a pen or printed. All I have to go on is your scan.
The 3rd party authentication thing.... Serious collectors don't put any stock in that sort of thing, but it can help sell to the people stupid enough to pay the "mid to high four figures" that MikeFold stated.
On eBay... on a good day... you'd be lucky to get high three figures for this if it's not a pre-print.
