Do you own this piece or interested in purchasing it? Without a COA from a reputable authenticator, don't buy it!
I would suggest contacting Richard Schnake owner of the website History in Ink.
kind regards

I would second Garrett's recommendation of Rick Schnake. He's tops on U.S. President material, imho.
Actually I might buy it but I am skeptical since JFK is so often fake. Even if it had Beckett or PSA I would still be skeptical. I guess I can try contacting Richard Schnake but I don’t want to spend any money on getting opinions since it’s probably fake. I thought getting a few free opinions would give me a pretty good idea right away that it’s definitely fake and I could move on…but if this actually has a chance of being real then maybe I should look further into it. Would be a pretty good deal (it’s $800) if this turns out to be authentic, but as they say, if it’s too good to be true, it almost always is.
Please, don't do it! Any JFK priced below a $1000 is circumspect.
Besides, Rick doesn't charge to do an informal analysis. I'm always sending him photos and he's spot-on as to where it is fake or real.
The clarity of "John" bothers me considerably.
I didn’t buy it. I was pretty hesitant thinking it was likely fake.
Just looking at the pen/ink....
It appears to be in ballpoint pen. They certainly existed then, but how common were they in actual use? What are JFK's autographs from that era usually written in?
Also, I'd scrutinuze the sentiment and numbers as much as the signature for clues.
I wonder what that notation at the bottom is from. Hopefully not a museum or archive.
😉
I am confident that this is not in JFK's hand.
Thanks. That’s very helpful. Looks very different. Not sure if 6 years can change his signature that much.
