| JG Autographs, Inc.'s Part II of Collecting Camelot: The Kennedy Legacy Auction is up and online nowIncluded are autographs, photographs, artifacts and ephemera related to John F. Kennedy, Jackie and the Kennedy family and associates. The auction is online now, at www.JG.Limited.
By: JG Autographs, Inc. The Part I auction, held in November 2024, contained material from legendary collections, including the Chester Clifton Papers, the estate of Father Ronald Hoskins, the Robert L. White Museum Collection, Evelyn Lincoln's personal collection, Cecil Stoughton's photographic archive, and items from the Dave Powers estate. The Part II auction has material from these same notable collections. "The timing of this auction is especially meaningful as the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the United States, a milestone that invites celebration of the individuals who have shaped the American story," said Jared Gendron, founder and president of JG Autographs, Inc. Gendron added, "Few figures embody that legacy more powerfully than Kennedy. Alongside Abraham Lincoln, he stands as the most highly collected U.S. president and, arguably, one of the most collected historical figures of all time." The Part II auction contains 530 lots. The auction starts strong from the beginning, with lot #1 being a John F. Kennedy autographed 8-inch-by-10- Lot #5 is a JFK autographed one-page typed lyrics sheet from his 1960 presidential campaign song "High Hopes," inscribed at the upper right, "For Dorothy / from / John Kennedy." The lyrics are adapted from Frank Sinatra's popular recording and reference Kennedy's candidacy during the 1960 election cycle. Kennedy benefited from the support of Sinatra, who adapted his 1959 hit song "High Hopes" into a campaign anthem. The sheet should sell for $3,000-$4,000. Bidders please take note: 30-minute extended bidding starts on Tuesday, February 24th at 8pm Eastern time. Starting then, the clock will reset for another 30 minutes each time a bid is placed on an individual lot. The 30-minute clock reset is unique for each lot, with every lot going into its own unique countdown during extended bidding. To learn more, please visit www.JG.Limited. End
