It was just over four years ago during the lead up to President Donald Trump’s inauguration when a FedEx driver from rural Illinois who had volunteered for the campaign borrowed a suit and trekked to Washington for the event of a lifetime.
Trump was so impressed with the story he ended up meeting Shane Bouvet the night before Inauguration Day. Speaking alone, Bouvet told the incoming president about his father, a military vet, suffering back home from bladder cancer....Trump’s response? He provided a $10,000 check and a signed Inaugural ticket — No. 13.
Alexander President Bill Panagopulos told Secrets that Trump-signed items have been extremely rare and command top dollar. And he said that the ticket and signed check also tell a story of the president’s generosity.
“This is a fabulous historic item, not just because of its incredible rarity, but also because it displays a side of the a side of the president very rarely seen by the general public,” said Panagopulos.
His online auction is scheduled for Feb. 8-9. The Trump items will be sold in the online sale on Feb. 9. Together, the two signed items could bring some $24,000. Alexander also has a copy of President Biden’s recent book, Promise Me, Dad, in the auction. It could bring up to $600.
And since the former president returned to his Florida home, other items have also come into his auction house for sale, including a signed flag and signed impeachment document from Trump’s first impeachment.
Trump said that he was touched by Bouvet’s story, especially after he learned that the full $10,000 was used for the father’s cancer battle.

He never cashed the check? Or did he do it by taking a picture of it with his bank phone ap?
That's how I would have done it.
So some common autographs are “relics” now?
it displays a side of the a side of the president that the media has worked very hard to conceal.
Trump said that he was touched by Bouvet’s story, especially after he learned that the full $10,000 was used for the father’s cancer battle.
Only have to read the excerpt to know it was cashed.
I have a signed campaign poster from when he had a rally early in the primary- my son who was 14 at the time made his way through the crowd and got it to Trump to sign. I couldn’t imagine parting with it.
My daughter deposits checks all the time with a simple photo on her Iphone.
Take a picture of it.....have it blown-up and framed.....
Then sell the original for $5K......sell while the price is high.....
You’ll still have the memory...and $5K for your son’s college fund.......
Because democrats have a lock on compassion, only THEY display kindness.
The price is likely to go up for the next decade, maybe the next hundred years...
But his kid will be in college in 4......
The article explains.
Take a look at Jill and Joe Bidens tax returns for charity sometime.....their selfishness is quite apparent.
Political Memorabilia - Speaking of which, I have EVERY nasty magazine cover from Trump’s win in 2016, all of them protected in plastic sleeves, including both Newsweek magazines featuring Trump and Hillary the winners.
“Madam President” was the Hillary cover. I bought it for my wife, who bless her heart, is a liberal. Her liberal friends are mortified that I own it.
Not for sale. YET.
❤️
I also am married to a liberal. Love him lots.
Sounds very cool. I’m jealous.
Also sound like it would be worth about $20 on the open market.
