This is just a smattering of the items included, all with bold and clear signatures. Some of the letters have flattened folds, and the group has varying degrees of toning and soiling. A few letters have separations at the folds. Overall very good.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
