Auction Item: Ulysses S. Grant Relic Card – Authentic Handwriting Fragment – Presidential Signature Cut

Own a rare piece of American presidential history with this Ulysses S. Grant Authentic Relic Card, featuring an original handwriting fragment from the 18th President of the United States and commanding General of the Union Army.

President: Ulysses S. Grant
Relic Type: Authentic handwriting cut from original period correspondence
Card Design: Portrait layout with embedded fragment
Condition: Excellent, sealed in protective holder

This relic card contains a genuine handwritten snippet featuring at least two discernible lines, including what appears to be part of Grant’s name or closing. The penmanship and ink flow are consistent with 19th-century writing and match the slant and character style of Grant’s known hand.

Perfect for collectors of historical autographs, Civil War memorabilia, or presidential artifacts.

Authentication: While the card states "Authentic Relic," buyers are encouraged to pursue third-party verification (e.g., Beckett, PSA/DNA, JSA) for personal or resale purposes.

💬 Grading, framing, or further documentation available upon request.

Handwriting Analysis:

The handwriting fragment features slanted cursive consistent with Grant’s documented style—particularly the looped lowercase "l" and capital “G.” The visible portion appears to include a partial salutation or closing, with strokes that align with known samples of Grant’s correspondence.

Visible words include:

Possibly part of "plan"

A signature-like ending, possibly “U. S. Grant” or portion thereof

Though the signature is not fully visible, the fragment appears to be clipped from the lower portion of a letter or document, suggesting a genuine writing sample rather than replicated script.

With PSA/DNA or JSA authentication, value may increase 1.5x–2x.
