I am not much of an autograph guy, but this is one of America's most famous images. I am a JFK assassination buff, and there are really not any LHO card options other than a few modern cards that can be had for $1-2.

Leavelle was an extremely willing through the mail signer for decades, but it is not often you see his autograph without a personalization. I will say I have always found it at least somewhat odd how receptive both Leavelle and Secret Service agent Clint Hill have been to sign anything related to the assassinations of both Kennedy and Oswald.
What set is this card from? Love the 50’s Topps styling

It is a custom card that I bought off eBay already slabbed. The back is blank. I thought the design was neat myself.

Thank you; I really like it. I was hoping this is was from a full set I could go pick up. Looks like a slightly modernized Topps Scoops card.

2005 phone card of women's chess champion and probably GOAT, Judith Polgar.

Nice card, Peter. Here’s something similar, some sort of Spanish issue I think.
