A Word From The President - George Washington ‘Authentic Handwritten Word’ Cut Signature Card

This is a premium historical collectible card featuring the first President of the United States, George Washington. The card is framed in a deep blue border with gold foil filigree accents at the corners and includes a textured illustration of an American flag as the backdrop for a central oval portrait of Washington. The top of the card is inscribed with 'A Word From THE PRESIDENT' in gold foil. The most significant feature is an 'Authentic Handwritten Word' relic, which consists of a piece of aged, off-white paper containing the word 'John' written in cursive ink, mounted within a rectangular window at the bottom. This snippet is presumably taken from an original 18th-century document written by Washington. The card also features a gold-stamped facsimile of his signature across the flag. The item is currently housed in a thick, clear protective acrylic 'slab' or magnetic one-touch case typically used for high-value trading cards. The craftsmanship is high, utilizing multi-layered cardstock and precision foil stamping. The condition appears to be near-mint, with no visible corner softening or surface scratches through the protective case, though the parchment fragment naturally shows signs of foxing and aging consistent with 200-year-old paper.
