Final JFK autograph — signed on the Dallas paper the day he died — sold at auction

The day he was assassinated, John F. Kennedy encountered a hotel maid who asked him to sign the morning paper, which featured a picture and article about his Texas visit. Hours later, he was dead.

Just a couple of days ago, that final autograph was sold at auction for nearly $40,000. The paper cost a nickel.
