Allow us to impart a fact: when it comes to the Three Stooges, there are two camps—Shemp fans and Curly fans. Fans of “Grapehead,” this one’s for you! Behold this 5.5 x 3.5 picture postcard from Radio City, Hollywood signed “Best of Luck—Shemp Howard.” Never mind the hint of very subtle soiling, this carefully scripted autograph appears on a well-kept medium and proclaims one thing: “come to papa.” Shemp signatures are hotly sought-after among collectors of silver-screen pennings, and for Stooges faithful, this ranks as a “must have.” On its front side, the postcard boasts the colorful images of the NBC and CBS studios as they were circa 1950. Very fine, crisp condition.
