FDR had a son also named Franklin D. Roosevelt who died in 1988, so it was probably him.

I notice there were signatures that cannot be correct, for example Franklin D Roosevelt dated 1976. FDR died in....1945.... There were a few that were dated '76 by people long dead. I'm surprised no one has noticed this.

I just caught this rerun recently and have to say one thing that i like about this show is that the pawn shop owner tries to be fair and not just out to rip off the seller of the item. It is to bad that the quilt is not authentic!

Right, The autographs were "official" only in the fact that the secretarial autographs were issued under the command of the notable name. It was good PR for the celeb at the time but ended up creating an item that was littered with problems once the item was taken off of display and looked at as a rare and valuable collectible.<br />

The item was meant to be shown in pblic as a "who's Who" of the time...That's the only function that it could possibly serve. Outside of that venue, it has no place in…

I can only assume the seller thought it was the same type of gathering as the Tonight Show or Saturday Night Live green room sign-in books, or other similar autograph groupings that have brought great amounts of money in the past. The problem here is that those gatherings offer 100% authentic in-person and verified signatures...this item did not. Plus, any signatures that were authentic were destroyed in a manner that made it valuless to autograph collectors. I did also see this piece and…tag:live.autographmagazine.com,2009-12-21:3524372:Comment:115572009-12-21T04:44:06.557ZAndrew Killgallonhttps://live.autographmagazine.com/profile/AndrewKillgallon
I did also see this piece and I have seen many items similar to this where the person would stitch over the signature. Although this is a way to preserve it, its ruining it completely. Its the same as saying the john lennon autograph that I have tattooed on my arm is worth as much as any other autograph of his. If you want to create an item as this, simply send a notecard to the celeb (odds are they will sign it) and copy it over to what ever you are creating. This was you have the actual…

I saw the piece as well. The quilt, at the most is nothing more than a nice blanket and something to talk about. It's value, maybe $50-$100 on a good day. The autographs on there are worthless because they unfortunately were destroyed by being stitched over. And from what I could see by the brief time they spent on them most were secretarial signatures of the stars.<br />

Cool piece, but completely worthless. The guy who owned it claims it's worth 50k. I think he needs a dose of reality.
