The combination of a memorial program honoring Justice Lewis F. Powell Jr., personally signed by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, creates a historical artifact of exceptional importance and rarity. In a field where most available Ginsburg signatures are found on books or simple autograph requests, this uniquely contextual document stands apart as a museum-worthy collectible. For advanced collectors of Supreme Court memorabilia, historically significant manuscripts, or American legal history, opportunities to acquire a comparable piece are exceedingly rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"4383\" data-end=\"4815\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"4383\" data-end=\"4403\"\u003eShipping Notice:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"4403\" data-end=\"4406\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"4406\" data-end=\"4815\" data-is-last-node=\"\"\u003eFor insurance purposes, items sold over $600 may require signature confirmation upon delivery.
