The Three Most Expensive
Autographs Ever Sold
Iconographs
Introduction
• An online dealer of celebrity autographs, Iconographs draws on an
expansive national network of memorabilia collectors. In addition to
collecting autographed items from some of the today’s famous
actors and athletes, Iconographs maintains the Celebrity Scrapbook
collection, complete with signed photos from Hollywood’s rich
history.
Although most people’s minds may turn celebrities or famous
athletes when they think of autographs, the most expensive
signatures ever sold actually belong to historical figures from
American history. Here is a quick look at the three most expensive
autographs ever sold.
3. Signed LP belonging to John Lennon’s murderer: Just
five hours before Mark Chapman fatally shot John Lennon, he asked
the Beatles legend to sign a copy of his Double Fantasy LP.
Autographs
• The item, which was submitted as a piece of evidence in
Chapman’s murder trial, fetched $525,000 in a 2003 auction.
2. Abraham Lincoln’s signed Emancipation
Proclamation: Of the 48 copies of the Emancipation
Proclamation signed by President Abraham Lincoln, only 26
remain today. In 2010, an anonymous buyer paid $3.7 million
for a copy Bobby Kennedy previously owned.
1. George Washington’s signed Acts of Congress:
Bound in leather for George Washington in 1789, the first
president’s personally annotated copy of the Constitution, Bill
of Rights, and the First Congress sold for $9.8 million at a
Christie’s New York auction in 2012.
