At a minimum, you should be able to get $2500.  I’d say JFK White House letters typically go for $2500 to $3500.  I’ll be back in awhile.

In the case of JFK, because there are so many secretarial autographs and fakes, it would get you more money if it was authenticated.  PSA and JSA charge $150 for JFK authentication.  I would imagine Beckett does too.  Plus, you’ll have to pay tax as well as insured shipping to and from, but it would be worth it.  As for selling, you could try ebay first and see how that goes.

You also might try an auction house like RR Auctions.  In that case, you probably wouldn’t need to get it authenticated since they would know it’s real, and then they’ll offer the winner the chance to get a letter of authentication.  Of course, an auction house is going to take more than eBay’s 10%.
