True, but still cool to own a 200 year old document from a future president...Jimmy Spence would call this William Henry Harrison an "Early Signature" -

What would a "rookie" signature of a President actually be?
How about when he was Governor, Congressman or Senator?

That can be the "rookie" level, and then once that runs its course, he can come out with "pre-rookie" signatures, from when said President was a lowly county executive/state rep/mayor/private citizen, etc

Hey Richard, I know you already know this but for those that don't, the POTUS sigs command HUGE money on these 2 because of their time in Office.

Correct me if I'm wrong Greg, but only a handful of documents actually exist that aren't already held by a museum. Correct?

VERY true, Harrison as POTUS (depending on content) is typically 6 figures Most are in private collections that won't see the light of day for years to come!!

I think John R. has 3 Garfields as President available on his site right now, and 1 Harrison as well.

Garfields seem to pop up every now and then. One of the Garfields that John has I remember seeing at I believe Catherine Barnes' over the past couple of years where it was listed at a reasonable $8,000-$9,000 or so. I should have snatched it up then as the same one sold for $9,093 at Eaton's auction not much later and now John has it asking $19,000 I think.

I THINK (not sure if I'm recalling correctly as I'm a bit busy these days to track graphs like I used to) I remember seeing a Harrison as President sell for $60K plus within the last couple of years and another for $120K

Don't recall if Heritage has offered either as Pres the past couple of years.

Both are available though every now and then as long as one is willing to pay the price.

Good luck in your search if you are looking for one,

Mike

Thanks, Michael. Was almost as excited to add this one. It is only the second one I have ever seen. Also got an AL Simmons from the same seller.
