I've never seen one before. Has anyone else seen it?

This is what it looks like:

Fascinating. However, I wouldn't let anything that monster touched into my home. I'd prefer if he was forgotten as if he was never born.

Never forget. If we do, we may miss the next one.

It's easy to kill innocent victims. Doesn't take a genius...just takes an evil piece of garbage. Just like the ones that prey on naive autograph buyers.

I'd buy it in a heartbeat. History is history, good or bad.

I would never buy it or want to even hold it. But I couldn't agree with you more.

I understand that the rarity of it makes it desirable, but at this point and for decades to come, I would think that there's just too much of a stigma. It's not exactly something that you can proudly display without rubbing people the wrong way, and trying to sell it would likely cause even more of an outrage.

It's not a matter of rarity, and I doubt his writings are rare. I don't think anyone would proudly display it unless his package was stapled to it. But it's important to never forget evil people like this and their deeds—history forgotten is history repeated. Save it, put it away for a while, put it in a museum or exhibit, properly presented. This isn't just some killer like Charlie Manson.

Maybe not so much rarity as accessibility? Might be difficult to find a good source for an authentic example.

Maybe if they extracted the bullet from his skull and put that on EBay, I buy the bullet, and display it with the signature?

You may be right. I have no idea.

I would think anything he signed is locked up tight in intelligence departments around the world. Probably not many if any exist that can be accessible.
