I have a card in my possession that is the same. It was given to my Grand Mother years ago. Signed in a similar fashion, just a few different words used. I am curious if you know its value?
That is so funny. I’m sure Emmett got around. He was just sitting there next to my hospital bed while I was sleeping. No knowing how long he waited there. No fear of clowns thank goodness.
As for the value of the card? No clue. Let me know. I would never sell it though.
Best,
Frank
Emmett did tell me to save this card. i saved all of his gifts that he gave me anyway. he said it was already a collectors item, even at that time.
i met Emmett in lawton, ok in 1993. we started corresponding at that time. Emmett sent me one of these cards from Chicago i believe it was. he would write me from different cities he would do signings in. i have more items of his. i value our friendship greatly. wondrfull man Emmett Kelly Jr. David W.

oh, he did tell me to hold onto this card because it was already a collectors item. i have other cards and autographs personally signed by Emmett.
