Museum FundJust got:signed Roy Rogers movie still w/ chip

I just paid and arm and a leg for this neat movie still from the Roy Rogers movie "Apache Rose" (1947). What's neat about it is:
¶ signed by Roy Rogers.
¶ Roy is showing a poker chip to someone. (The still didn't come with the chip; my old chip, same as the one in the still!)
¶ Gambling-related movie: "Roy Rogers' first color western features the singing cowboy as an oil wildcatter trying to obtain the rights to an old Spanish land grant. Gamblers headquartered on a ship offshore conspire to get the land first. Evans, playing a kind of Tugboat Annie of the West, sprightly sings "There's Nothin' Like Coffee in the Morning." Roy croons the title song and "Ride, Vaquero," and is particularly good on "Wishing Well." The Sons of the Pioneers do a fine rendition of "Jose." " ("R52" on the still means the still is from 1952, the year the movie was re-released in movie theaters.)

"Happy Trails," as Roy would say,
Robert




I usually don't buymovie stills (about 8 x 10"), but I couldn't resist this one. I collect movie lobby cards (11 x 14") with gambling scenes. Here are some of them:
