John Adams “Pieces of the Past” Relic Card (Handwritten Document Fragment)
John Adams “Pieces of the Past” Relic Card (Handwritten Document Fragment)
This card features an authentic historical relic fragment purportedly from a handwritten letter or document associated with John Adams, 2nd President of the United States (1797–1801) and Founding Father. The relic is housed in a "Pieces of the Past" display card with an inset document segment that appears to show script from the 18th or early 19th century. The visible portion includes the text:
“... 27”
“eunos,” (potentially "journos" or “journals”?)
No full signature or date is shown, and the excerpt appears to be mid-sentence.
Analysis:
Handwriting Authenticity: The script is visually consistent with 18th-century cursive styles typical of John Adams-era documents. The ink color, slant, and formation of characters are all appropriate to the time. However, without a larger view or provenance, we cannot definitively match the fragment to Adams himself.
Value-Add Factors:
Adams’s actual signature or more substantial document content would drastically increase value.
The snippet lacks unique identifiers (like letterhead, full name, or historic phrase).
Manufacturer: Pieces of the Past brand has produced both authentic and manufactured relic cards. The company has improved its sourcing, but third-party verification (e.g., PSA/DNA, JSA, or Beckett LOA) would solidify this as investment-grade.
