100% genuine signature of Lt. John Andrew Thomas, USN (1913-1942 KIA). Thomas was KIA during the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal. His combat decorations include a posthumous Purple Heart. This is a signed 1937 USNA yearbook photo/bio. It's in good shape with normal signs of age. Size = 7.5" x 4.5".
Read the entire listing carefully. If you have questions for something not already in the listing ask them before bidding/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 will rarely if ever use the Best Offer option in the future. I'm tired of all the inane low ball offers. I will not send out offers to perennial watchers. I will 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/collectors only. I'm recovering from a stroke and have zero patience for time wasters. No low ballers, hagglers, know-it-alls (I have Google too), supposed relatives, 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 do have my hard earned money invested in my items. I'm offering these items solely as a means to downsize my accumulations and share with fellow collectors. I don't ask for full retail or top dollar, but I won't sell for a price that is unfair to either of us. If you want my help with your collecting I'm here. If not that's the way it goes.
