Big Lebowski Autographed Storyboard

My panel is the drawing that helped the camera & other crew set up this shot
I have a really great storyboard from the Coen Brother's cult classic The Big Lebowski. The panel shows "The Dude" (Jeff Bridges)lying on the new rug. It's a really memorable scene, expressing the character at his most "dudelike", & (it really ties the story together).
The storyboard panel of course includes all the annotation & camera direction, & is autographed personally to me by the artist J. Todd Anderson, who drew all the storyboards for all the Coen Brothers films (excluding the 1st two).
I did some work for Mr. Anderson during an unusual musical performance a few years ago, & he gave me the panel as a gift. I'm not an autograph collector, but being a fan of the Coen Brothers & Mr. Todd's musical alter ego, it's one of my most prized possessions. He gave it to me in a protective bag (the kind used for comic books), & I keep it in the bag, framed on my wall.
Sometimes I wonder what it's worth.
