Picked this up off someone that pulled it on Blowout as I think its a significant autograph of someone who helped shape history.

Before I get bashed or anything.

I have spoken to the Holocaust Museum in DC to see if they would be interested in the cut outright or if I sold it at auction house, would they accept a donation of 50% and they have been great in talking to me in fact offering if I do keep it to have it certified by them as well, and for my offer even if I do not move it they have offered to give me a private tour of the Museum with one of their experts.

Called Ebay too and they said it would not be removed if I wanted to relist and my account person said they would flag it in case anyone complained.

It's history, good or bad its a part of the world and a piece of what we know today. People need.to quit crying over a name written on a piece of paper.

I keep thinking of the line in Woody Allen's 'Hollywood Ending' when he's arguing with his ex about how opposite her new boyfriend is of him.."With his ski lodge in Aspen and collection of vintage cars, if I were to drive around in a '38 Mercedes people would think I was Himmler!"

My friend is a curator at the Holocaust museum. LMK if you want me to notify her.

Very nice card.I don't understand bashing a person who owns the card.I understand how horrific the Holocaust was but the historical signifigance of the cut is amazing.The man played an incredible and disgusting part in history.I love the idea of sending the Holocaust Museum the cut.

Bob I appreciate the offer, I had reached out to someone at the Museum that a professor of mine was friends with, but I genuinely appreciate it.

You should notify Dr. Price if you do end up getting it to the Holocaust Museum. He might be interested in hearing it.

Very cool piece! I'm a big fan of controversial stuff. Sure there are disgusting figures in history, but it's just their signatures. GREAT conversation starters.
Earlier in the year I pulled a cut auto of Karl Donitz that I have had many conversations about.

Why would eBay pull it? I sold a **** autograph about a month ago with no problem, and that was on a photo.

what kind of prices have his autos sold for in the past

Not many certified autos of his out there.

And Ebay pulled it because it was a high ranking ****, but that has been taken care of if I wanted to move it.
