Original JFK John F. Kennedy HAND SIGNED PSA/DNA COA Autograph Senate Card

Original JFK John F. Kennedy HAND SIGNED PSA/DNA COA Autograph Senate Card

Original, hand signed John F. Kennedy card while U.S. Senator from The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This full autograph is certified by PSA/DNA, from the hand of JFK.

4.25″ x 3.5″ card engraved “John F. Kennedy/ United States Senator” at top, boldly signed below in blue ballpoint pen “John F. Kennedy / U.S.S. / Mass.”. The bold signature is a stunning example, and the creamy white card is in great condition. Minor age-related discoloration. Upper right of Senate Card has some loss from album tape, perhaps. An extremely nice example of an authentic autograph from John F. Kennedy.

Professionally framed  and double-matted. Frame measures 17.5″ wide, by 21.5″ tall, with 6.5″ by 9″ visible photograph, 3.25″ high by 4.15″ visible Senate card.

As was the custom at the time, autograph collectors would request signatures of politicians through the mail. Many politicians had special cards produced, specifically to answer those requests.  The autograph itself is spectacular, with a bold, fluid movement, while exhibiting a textbook example of Kennedy’s “fishhook” signature (a variation which definitively dates it to the mid-late 1950s). Beyond the nearly flawless signature, is the incredible rarity of the signature itself. John F. Kennedy was one of the first to use the machine known as the auto-pen, leaving the signing of his tens of thousands of autograph requests to the repetition of a machine.

The vast majority of all John F. Kennedy signatures are in fact auto-pen, or secretarial signed, with only a fraction of those letters and documents bearing an authentic signature from his hand. Authentically signed, non-personalized individual cards (like the offered example) are extremely rare.
