It's difficult for me to tell if that one is real or not based solely on the photo.....but my personal opinion is that the selling price is way too high for Joseph Wiseman's signature. Mr. Wiseman signed consistently for many, many years until his failing health prevented him from doing so any more, so there are tons of authentic autographs out there. From most accounts, though, his secretary started signing for him late in his life after he couldn't sign for himself any more....so be extra cautious to be certain that the autograph you purchase is not secretarial if you do decide to buy one.
If you want more info on a couple of good sources for an authentic Joseph Wiseman, send me a PM and I'll be glad to give you my opinions.
