John F. Kennedy's Last Autograph Sells for $39.000
CNN reports that what could be John F. Kennedy's final autograph sold for $39,000 at an auction. JFK signed the front page of the Dallas Morning News for a Dallas woman on the morning of the day he was assassinated.
Kennedy reportedly signed the front page of the Dallas Morning News, which contained a photo of him and the first lady and a preview of their arrival that day in Dallas.
A Dallas woman handed the president the newspaper and he signed it for her, according to Heritage Auctions, the company that sold the item. The date of his assassination, which came about two hours later, was on the front page of that paper near his signature.
"It's chillingly historic because it documents the day, documents the location and it's certainly one of the last signatures of John Kennedy," Doug Norwine, a director at Heritage Auctions told CNN affiliate KDAF.
CNN says the person who bought the autograph immediately insured it for millions.
