And if you had an autograph of Hitler you would immediately burn it and toss its ashes away? I am going to guess you would have it on Ebay for about 50 grand the next day. It's a signature on a piece of paper not a piece of evidence in a murder case. Who cares?

Now you ask if this is an autograph worth keeping? The answer should be simple. NO.

not him, but i have a few (nobody extremely notable like gacy)

There will be people who find it totally disgusting that you have it, and there is sometimes no way of changing their mind. i think it is because gacy is in modern times. i'm sure very few people would turn down a Hitler or Lizzie Borden autograph.

Come on! Calm down! It's just an autograph! I say keep it, it's awesome!

Only keep it is you are comfortable having it. It is a rare signature of a historical crime figure, so I understand why some people would want it. Autograph collecting is about fun and what we want to collect. If it doesn't fit in with what you like then give it back to your friend.

Well I do not think he was a angel, but in fact consider him evil. I do not console in profitting from murder or criminal actions, but he is dead and not benefiting at all. Should we just forget it ever happened and file away in a book somewhere? I am glad to have something this rare in my collection now. I look at it now as a way for future generations to be able to place a real life object to a name in a book and realize it really did happen and was very bad! I feel we need to remember the past to avoid repeating in the future. I haven't and do not plan on persueing criminal signatures, but when given one rare as this I had to accept it.

if you want to get rid of it let me know... id be interested in trading for it or purchasing it

Thanks for the input. I mean I am glad to have it and I'm not you know. I would not turn down a Al Capone or a Manson signature either. I wish it would have been a painting of a clown or something! The girl I got it from, she seen I collected autographs, and asked if I wanted it and went and dug out of family picture album her dad had kept. She said she had a couple opportunityies to get paintings from him, but declined because he scared her. I was like I totally understand the creepiness of that. She told me she thought she knew someone that had a scribbling done by him and would get it for me as well next time she sees them.
