1991 photograph Mayor Tom Bradley of Los Angeles, personalized

Description

I just picked up a very unusual small accumulation from the estate of an individual who wrote primarily to city mayors but also to some foreign leaders asking for signed photographs and signed index cards....my guess is that the majority of the ones he had were signed by the individuals, but I'm not an authenticator....my personal feeling is that the value on these items comes from the letters, envelopes, etc. that come with the item and  not particularly from the signatures anyway...I'm not sure on some of these that the authenticators will have much basis
for making a decision anyway!    All the ones that I list are straight from the estate and have not been altered in any way...
This lot features an 8x10 black and white personalized signed photograph and a letter from Mayor Tom Bradley of Los Angeles.....letter is dated July 25, 1991 and is on City of Los Angeles
office of the major stationery.....ink signature on the letter bleeds through to the back, so it's not stamped....photo is personalized to the man whose estate it came from...letter has light wrinkling bottom right....owner printed Bradley's name and date lightly on the back....
I try to price things fairly in the store, not padded or doubled to make room for offers. As a result, I don?t generally take counter-offers on items that I have listed. On occasion, I will have sales on selected merchandise of my choice; if you want to wait for a sale, that is certainly your option, but it will be at a time of my choosing..thanks for understanding my attempt to give the same opportunity and price to all customers.
Shipping and handling cost is listed in the payment options column on this item.....whenever I can, I am always glad to combine shipping for multiple orders?we are always glad to ship to other countries; shipping and handling will be determined by weight of the order and the country shipped to ..for US orders, if you only win one lot on a night, Ebay sends out an invoice for that item, and I will generally not duplicate their effort by sending out an additional invoice?.
.... Paypal is Ebay's standard method for payment now.... This is a husband/wife operation, despite what you might think from the number of lots we run...while we would like to send out everything the minute your payment comes in, we can't always do our other jobs and get everything out that day! Please be patient; we ship as fast as we can and our feedback should show that we do fill our orders! Many weekends I am setting up at shows; payments that come in toward the end of the week (Thursday-Sunday) probably won?t be shipped until Monday or Tuesday ....If your order hasn't arrived within 10 days after payment, please let us know that you haven't received something; we may not have gotten a paypal confirmation and may still be waiting for payment!
Satisfaction guaranteed or money back (no partial refunds with item kept, however, as these encourage people to hairsplit over condition)......a card I describe as nr.mt-mt. generally doesn't have any problems that I notice; I don't grade items mint just in case I miss something small.......I try really hard to grade accurately, but I'm human.....every once in a while I'll completely fall asleep at the wheel and grade something nr.mt. which has tire tracks on it and has been used as a pincushion....if so, it is totally accidental ....if you happen to be the unlucky recipient of such a lot, a POLITE e-mail to that effect will get you a prompt refund just as soon as we get the item back....so will an e-mail talking about my parentage and my integrity, honestly, but it will be a whole lot more pleasant for both of us if you realize that I'm not out to get you!
