W.C. Handy signed Saint Louis Blues sheet music, 1947, PSA/DNA, LOA

Description

Here is the sheet music for songwriter W.C. Handy's most famous composition, "Saint Louis Blues," signed by Mr. Handy in 1947. It was authenticated by PSA/DNA and includes a Letter of Grading and Authenticity. The autograph was given a grade of 9 on their scale of 1-10. It is inscribed to "Geoff" but the handwriting is difficult to discern beyond that name. There is a long-ago water stain visible on the interior first page, please look at the photos.
William Christopher "W.C." Handy was born on November 16th, 1873 and died on March 28th, 1958. Known as the "Father of the Blues," it would be difficult to overstate the breadth of his influence and esteem among musicians, songwriters, and composers.
His autograph is offered from time to time but to see one authenticated by PSA/DNA with an autograph grade is much less common.
