My new Prince autograph

I'm so fortunate to now own this beauty... thanks to James for selling it and to Paul who led me to him.isn't it beautiful..signed in 1988 aboard a Northwest flight.the stewardess asked him for an autograph and he nodded and smiled...nodded and smiled...can't you just see him?!...she handed him the flight manifest which he signed...notice on that the passengers...P. Nelson sitting next to John Nelson (brother or father) and Alan Leeds, Prince's tour manager...I'm over the moon for sure...t wish I wish he was still with us, but this soothed me.

Julie, that really is such a cool item! I can honestly say I miss it. It has SO MUCH character and personality that comes with it, just for the reasons you pointed out. I couldn't afford to keep both, but I'm super happy it's in your hands now. It's an autograph that really comes to life with his name being on the manifest along with his associates. And you know the story behind it which is awesome. It makes you wonder what he was going to New York for on April 16, 1988. Was he going to give a concert (probably since Leeds was with him)? Or just to visit friends? Or maybe to see Madonna, as I think they were maybe working on something together about this time. Now you have a piece of Prince forever!

Oh I just love it...i keep wondering!..maybe a private show!...yes it has so much personality.there are a few pics from 1988 where he is getting off a plane (gett off!)but they are all international...but I was thinking I'd print one up and display it next to it too.I have the real auto behind the coa to keep it away from light and I keep taking the back off to look at it...lol...I'm in love...how are you enjoying your newest...silly question.
