Guaranteed Authentic

Legendary 35th President of the United States JOHN F. KENNEDY authentic GEM MINT 10 autograph letter on Congressional letterhead dated June 21, 1951. Fantastic, bold textbook example of JFK's Congressional signature at conclusion. This is the ONLY full signature example in GEM MINT 10 condition we have been able to locate after a search of publicly offered examples! A perfect fit for the discerning collector who seeks only the very highest quality examples for their collection.


JFK responds to an inquiry from William F. Kelly, his friend and an East Boston ward political figure, on behalf of a local constituent concerned about his son stationed overseas in Germany. JFK advises that he has taken the matter up with the Department of the Army and will follow up directly with the constituent once the Army has responded.


Interestingly, it was also just one month earlier that the dashing young Congressman Kennedy had first been introduced to Jacqueline Bouvier, a journalist and the "Inquiring Camera Girl" for the Washington Times-Herald, at a dinner party in Georgetown arranged by journalist George Bartlett.


PSA/DNA expert analysis has rated the Kennedy autograph with the highly coveted GEM MINT 10. Under PSA's exacting autograph grading standards a Gem Mint 10 example "is a virtually perfect autograph. Attributes include bold writing with the absence of skipping or retracing by the original signer or otherwise..." In addition, "the autograph must be strong and clear...as well as aesthetically beautiful in terms of placement and representative of the common/traditional autograph patterns of that person."


The JFK signed Congressional GEM MINT 10 letter has been thoroughly reviewed and certified authentic by PSA/DNA expert review has been encapsulated using PSA/DNA's proprietary sonically-sealed technology – your assurance of absolute authenticity. PSA/DNA is considered the industry gold standard in autograph authentication. GUARANTEED GENUINE.


Condition is as shown with light toning, mailing folds, filing punches at top, and a small light stain at bottom, consistent with age, use and handling. Stationery measures appx. 5.25" x 8", overall slab measures approx. 10" x 13". Please review images carefully for exact condition.


NOTE: several examples of "Newton's Ring" appear on the reverse side of the encapsulate (the rings that look like little air bubbles trapped inside) -- a common, harmless byproduct of the slabbing process of larger items, not affecting the autograph or printed image.
