DROPPED PRICE TO $80...T.I.O.L.I.
100% authentic signature of Lt. Gen. ALAN SHAPLEY, USMC (1903-1973). Shapley served as the commanding officer of the marines aboard the USS Arizona (BB-39) during the attack on Pearl Harbor. He was awarded the Silver Star for rescuing a fellow shipmate from the burning water while being strafed by Japanese planes. He was later awarded the Navy Cross for valor during the Battle of Guam. This is a rare item. Signed 1927 USNA Lucky Bag yearbook bio/photo in nice shape with normal signs of age. SIZE = 4" x 8".
Read the entire listing carefully. If you have questions for something not already in the listing ask them before offerding/buying. Won't respond to questions where I already took the time to put the answer in the listing. Likewise I don't respond to questions that revolve around lowball offers. My prices are more than fair for buyer and seller alike.Look at the photos as they are part of the description. Combined shipping is a given.
I don't use the Best Offer option. I don't send offers to perennial watchers either. I will simply give the absolute best price I can from the door. It's the bottom line, no wiggle room price. If an item doesn't sell within two 30-day listing cycles it will be replaced.
Accepting want lists for military signatures. Serious buyers only. I'm recovering from a stroke and have zero patience for time wasters. No low ballers, no hagglers, no know-it-alls (I have Google too). NO supposed relatives, self-appointed historians/authors, or others who think lame bargaining ploys will net them gold for the price of tin.
I am not a dealer. I am a private collector. I have no overhead or a driving need to sell. But I have been collecting military signatures for over 55 years, and I'm offering these items solely as a means to downsize my accumulations and share with fellow collectors. I have a lot of time and money invested in my collections. I don't ask for full retail or top dollar, but I won't sell for a price that is unfair to either you or me. If you want my help with your collecting I'm here. If not that's the way it goes.
