Any idea of it's value? It's on a 3x6 piece of notebook paper. Thanks.

It's nice and big, which adds, but on lined paper, which can subtract. I don't think you'll have a problem getting over $1,000 for it. Maybe mid-teens or so.

Nathan, I sent you a friend request. I'd be interested in this after you get it authenticated.

Also, what do you think? Would this be the kind of item where it would be better to have the PSA/DNA sticker put on the item as opposed to the LOA?

Paul, I'm glad you think it looks good. I value your opinion - even if I never end up with it.

It would be a nice one for you James. Do what Jan does frame it up.

The story goes as my mom tells it:

My parents were at a Chinese restaurant in NYC. It was one of those that you have to go downstairs from street level (WoHop ?). As they were eating, the staff started putting newspaper on the floor around one of the tables and a high chair was brought to the table.

Soon after, John and Yoko came in with baby Sean. The newspaper was to catch the food that a baby will throw all over.

My mom approached John and asked if he would mind giving her an autograph for her son (me!).

John apparently was annoyed and said "I do mind" but then signed the piece of notebook paper.
