President HARRY TRUMAN Signed JFK First Day Cover PSA - Bold Autograph!

Title:
Harry S. Truman Signed JFK Memorial First Day Cover – May 29, 1964 Issue – PSA/DNA Certified

Description:
Striking First Day Cover boldly signed by 33rd U.S. President Harry S. Truman in black ink, honoring John F. Kennedy in memoriam. Postmarked Boston, MA – May 29, 1964, this commemorative cover was issued on what would have been Kennedy's 47th birthday. It features a black-bordered memorial portrait of JFK (1917–1963), alongside a 5¢ commemorative stamp depicting the Eternal Flame and Kennedy’s portrait with the inscription: “And the glow from that fire can truly light the world.” Truman’s signature spans neatly across the upper-right stamp area. The cover is slabbed in a tamper-evident PSA holder and labeled “AUTHENTIC AUTO,” certification number 85662188.

Historical Context:
This poignant First Day Cover connects two historic American presidents: Harry S. Truman, who led the nation through the final stages of World War II and the early Cold War, and John F. Kennedy, whose presidency ushered in a new era of idealism and was tragically cut short in 1963. Issued just six months after Kennedy’s assassination, this memorial cover not only pays tribute to JFK’s legacy but is further elevated by Truman’s personal signature—offering a rare intersection of two presidencies. Truman lived until 1972 but signed few such commemorative postal items, making this an especially desirable crossover piece for presidential and philatelic collectors alike.

Authentication & Encapsulation:
Certified and encapsulated by PSA/DNA with label reading “Harry S. Truman – Authentic Auto – PSA/DNA Certified.” Certification number: 85662188.

Closing Appeal:

Its historical resonance, paired with elegant presentation and firm provenance, makes it an exceptional and emotionally powerful addition to any collection of presidential autographs or 20th-century Americana.
