Sorry I took so long to reply. Vince Esoldi is the owner of the suit. Here is his story:
He often struggles to breathe as he gets in and out of his Honda Civic that has logged over 330,000 miles. At the age of 63 and faced with high blood pressure and Lymphedema, Vince Esoldi sometimes feels as weathered as his car.

Forced to take early retirement because of his health, Esoldi, a lifelong resident of New Jersey now lives on a small pension and social security. After working on Broadway and at Radio City Music Hall for 25 years as a hair dresser and wardrobe professional, he is now selling his only treasure on eBay – a man’s suit with over 300 famous signatures on it.


After incurring almost a $100,000 of debt developing a book and a musical, his hope of survival hinges on the sale of his one-of-a-kind suit that is graced with the signatures of celebrities from the world of Hollywood, Broadway, politics, and sports that he began gathering 36 years ago.




The suit is now being auctioned on eBay with a starting bid of $164,000. Upon the sale of the suit, 20 percent of the proceeds will be donated to The Lillian Booth Actors Home of The Actors Fund, located in Englewood, New Jersey. Esoldi has formally committed to making the donation in memory of his friend and colleague Peter Howard, musical director, composer, and musician. An additional 10 percent of the proceeds will be donated to a scholarship fund for young actors.

Thank you! My Cousin Vinny and I are very excited about the eBay sale of this suit. Vinny needs funds for his retirement and he is eager to donate 20 percent of the Autograph Suit sale to The Actors Fund in Memory of his friend and colleague Composer and Musician Peter Howard.

Hi,I used to be a political activist in the late 70's to mid 80's so I met a few politicians. I never thought of getting autographs at the time as I was more interested in my groups cause. It wasn't until I came across some antique political memroblia in my late father in laws collection,that I became interested. It mostly deals with Mexico,Pres.Porfirio Diaz,and some military items. So no,I don't buy...I did sell some of the memrobilia I had. Looking back,I now wish I had gotten some autographs:)

i have it because i have a friend who use to work in the secret service with his father, George Bush Sr. ~ but there was George W. Bush's office address in the January 2010 autograph magazine issue. i hope that helps, again im very sorry =(
