Vintage ballpoint signature, “Janis Joplin,” adding a small heart under her signature, on an off-white 3 x 4.5 lightly-lined sheet. Matted and framed with a copy of Joplin’s Tampa, Florida, mugshots, to an overall size of 21.25 x 14.5. In very good condition, with uniform toning, a light diagonal bend through portion of last name of signature, and some soiling to lower portion of sheet, well away from signature. Joplin’s signature remains very bold and largely unaffected by the physical flaws of the sheet. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from Roger Epperson/REAL. RR Auction COA.
