Danvers, MA, USA, Feb 3, 2026 -- Part II of JG Autographs, Inc.’s online auction titled Collecting Camelot: The Kennedy Legacy, featuring a diverse selection of autographs, photographs, ephemera, and artifacts related to John F. Kennedy, Jackie, and the Kennedy family and associates, is online now (at www.JG.Limited). The sale ends on Tuesday, February 24th, at 8:30 pm Eastern Time.
The Part I auction, held in November 2024, contained material from legendary collections, including the Chester Clifton Papers, the estate of Father Ronald Hoskins, the Robert L. White Museum Collection, Evelyn Lincoln’s personal collection, Cecil Stoughton’s photographic archive, and items from the Dave Powers estate. The Part II auction has material from these same notable collections.
"The timing of this auction is especially meaningful as the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the United States, a milestone that invites celebration of the individuals who have shaped the American story,” said Jared Gendron, founder and president of JG Autographs, Inc.
Gendron added, “Few figures embody that legacy more powerfully than Kennedy. Alongside Abraham Lincoln, he stands as the most highly collected U.S. president and, arguably, one of the most collected historical figures of all time." The Part II auction contains 530 lots.
The auction starts strong from the beginning, with lot #1 being a John F. Kennedy autographed 8-inch-by-10-inch glossy photograph depicting a classic studio portrait of Kennedy during his U.S. Senate years. The photo is inscribed in bold ink along the left margin, “To Perry / Best of Luck / John Kennedy / U.S. Senator / Mass.” The image retains strong contrast and clarity and is an attractive signed display piece from JFK’s senatorial period. The estimate is $3,500-$4,500.
Lot #5 is a JFK autographed one-page typed lyrics sheet from his 1960 presidential campaign song “High Hopes,” inscribed at the upper right, “For Dorothy / from / John Kennedy.” The lyrics are adapted from Frank Sinatra’s popular recording and reference Kennedy’s candidacy during the 1960 election cycle. Kennedy benefited from the support of Sinatra, who adapted his 1959 hit song “High Hopes” into a campaign anthem. The sheet should sell for $3,000-$4,000.
Lot #35 is an Inga Arvad autographed two-page letter from Christmas Day 1943, typed on both sides of a single sheet and signed in red ink “Your, Inga-Binga,” addressed to John F. Kennedy as "Jack Dearest." Arvad (1913–1973) was a Danish journalist, beauty queen (Miss Denmark 1936), and prominent social figure in Washington, D.C. in the 1940s. She became romantically involved with Kennedy while he was a young naval officer. The letter should hit $4,500-$6,000.
Lot #36 is a George de Mohrenschildt handwritten addressed airmail envelope to Doris Burns, signing his name as “G. de Mohrenschildt”. It’s postmarked Gananoque, Ontario, August 24, 1951. De Mohrenschildt (1911–1977) was a Russian-born geologist and petroleum consultant. In the early 1960s, he became acquainted with Lee Harvey Oswald and Marina Oswald. This placed him under intense scrutiny following the assassination. The lot has an estimate of $3,500-$4,500.
