Pieces of the Past 'A Word From The President' George Washington Authentic Handwritten Word Card

This is a modern collectible trading card from the 'Pieces of the Past' series by Super Products Inc., featuring George Washington. The card is presented in a hard plastic protective slab. The design features a central oval-encased portrait of George Washington set against a stylized, distressed American flag background. Above the portrait, the text reads 'A Word From THE PRESIDENT' in gold-toned lettering, while the bottom of the card is labeled 'AUTHENTIC HANDWRITTEN WORD.' The most significant feature is an inset window at the bottom containing a small, rectangular scrap of aged, cream-colored paper displaying the handwritten word 'John' in iron gall ink, attributed to George Washington. A facsimile signature of Washington is printed in gold across the middle of the card. The card borders are dark blue with ornate gold-tone corner filigree. The visible condition of the card appears excellent (Near Mint or better), protected by the casing, though the physical scrap shows natural toning and foxing consistent with 18th-century paper. These cards are created by sourcing original historical documents and cutting them into fragments, known as 'cut signature' or 'word' cards, popular in the 21st-century hobby market for presidential memorabilia.
