<p>Thank you so much for the information! This is definitely very helpful!<br/><br/>Here's another one; this one is neat because it has the date/time received stamp on the reverse. <a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10948955462?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10948955462?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a></p>

<p>Thank you, Terrier! I appreciate that. I just need a magic pill….that’s legal….ok illegal if it works. Lol. I’m glad to see you’re still here lending your wisdom. I know you sure helped me on several occasions. I always appreciated it.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Hi. I’m not new, but I haven’t been on here in over 2 years. COVID took a toll our family both health-wise and financially. And I have major health issues myself separate from COVID. But I saw your post and thought I’d help out.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> I have a few Kennedy autographs. I started collecting and studying Kennedy autographs about 9 years ago. Kennedy autographs are probably the most confusing and complicated autographs to understand. There are about 17 different secretarial styles along with, as you noted above, several autopen styles. And then there’s Kennedy’s own contribution to this madness. Kennedy himself had gawd only knows how many authentic versions. Sometimes Kennedy would even combine parts of two different authentic styles to confuse us even more. I know for sure there are authentic versions that are not even in Charles Hamilton’s book on Kennedy autographs. <br/><br/></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To cut to the chase, THIS IS 100% AUTHENTIC…..provided it wasn’t run through a copy machine. Otherwise, this was definitely signed by Kennedy himself.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As President, Kennedy signed most documents and letters himself unlike most of his Senate letters in the late 1950s which were mainly signed by secretaries and, in some cases, autopens. <br/><br/></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Given the fact that this is an authentic Kennedy signature on White House letterhead, AND the content involves a very famous American, it has great financial and historical value.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This is one heck of a great find! No worries on this one. Congratulations! </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><br/>As for authenticators, either PSA/DNA, Beckett, or JSA will carry the most weight in the hobby. Is one better than the other for Kennedy autographs? I’m not sure. Sometimes they get it wrong too, but if you put this on eBay with the backing of a letter from PSA/DNA, it will help a lot to get maximum value. People feel much more secure with an LOA from one of those three. Unfortunately, that doesn’t guarantee authenticity for any autograph, but it helps in the marketplace.</p>
