Fountain pen signature, “G. Bernard Shaw,” on an irregularly trimmed red and white patterned slip, 2.75 x .75, affixed to a light blue 5.25 x 3.25 postcard bearing the amusing printed response to an autograph collector, “It may interest collectors of autographs to know that Mr. Bernard Shaw does not regard requests by strangers for his signature as legitimate collecting. He signs enough genuine documents every day to give collectors ample material for the proper exercise of their peculiar industry. His secretary has instructions to return all albums and refuse all applications which ignore this distinction” with the typed text below, “But sometimes she obliges” followed by the affixed signature. In fine condition, with scattered light soiling and mounting remnants to reverse. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
