I started a discussion about this while the auction was still current. It has since been closed due to "an error in the listing." Really...you don't say.
The letter from the JFK White House supposedly contained an authentically-signed JFK photo. It supposedly was sent to a Mr. Battista, who knew Kennedy personally.
The seller's description:
"BUY IT NOW or make an offer. This Kennedy photo came From an estate ofFrank Battista. Mr Battista was carrier military. He was a member of THE ARMY NAVY C.C. outside DC. While there he played golf with many members of congress including Kenndy. I have included a letter from the White House which came with the photo. I purchased it in the1980s. Signed in Silver. You don't find these very often. FREE shipping. Feel free to give me a call with any questions you may have or with your private offer at ------ Thanks for looking." (Note: the misspellings are the seller's)
Seriously, these photos were mass-produced. I don't know if the date on the letter was a mistake at the time by the White House or if this was the seller's purposeful doing. But, whatever. A sniper, not named Oswald, took the life of one of America's greatest presidents on Nov. 22, 1963.
Pics of the letter and photo are below.
