Maytag Repairman (Gordon Jump) and Apprentice (Mark Devine)

I got this autographed photograph, signed in 2001, at the unveiling of a side by side refrigerator at the Sears in Pacific Center, Vancouver, BC. At that time the Apprentice (Mark Devine) was also being introduced and there was mention of Gordon Jump's retirement. Information from others I have talked to is that the Apprentice was introduced in 2001 and was to embody Maytag Appliances' innovations as well as dependability.

I have searched sites like eBay and do not see any other photos with the Apprentice. I have no intention of parting with this picture, but was just curious what it might be worth. This picture has been kept under glass in a picture frame since I got it in 2001.

Thank you!
