Hey all! I recently purchased this Ronald Reagan signature for around $200 on eBay, which I though was a really great deal. However, before purchasing it I did do a lot of research on his autopens and secretarials (von Damme, in particular). He signed the letter as Ron, and the content of the letter itself is a sort of apology to a couple he knew for displacing them from their seats, back in 1968. i bought the letter from the Written Word on Ebay.
Here's an image of the letter I bought:
With a close-up
Additionally, here's a letter signed by Reagan as Ron around the same time frame. This letter was also deemed authentic by PSA/DNA, and the similarity in terms of the "Ron" was what really convinced me that the letter I got was authentic.
I did look at the RR Auctions signature study on Ronald Reagan as well, and personally I do think it's authentic. However, the fact that I was able to get it for a relatively cheap price was what was surprising to me.
I'd really appreciate any opinions from all the presidential signature experts!
Thanks!

It looks right, but as it's only 3 letters long a lot of the hallmarks you would see from a Von Damm are not readily apparent. It might be easier to identify with more handwriting, but I'd certainly be comfortable with a purchase from a reputable dealer like Written Word.
Very nice items. Reagan is drinking Carnation milk in that Nov. 67 photo. I am really surprised I recognized it correctly.
