Description: 1961 U.S. President John F. Kennedy Inauguration Ticket Stub - Honored Guest Entry through White House East - PSA Graded 1.5 FR Description: This ticket stub is from the January 20, 1961, inauguration of President John F. Kennedy, specifically for an "Honored Guest" with entry designated through the White House East, South Side. The ticket prominently features a design with printed portraits of President John F. Kennedy and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, alongside an image of the U.S. Capitol building, and the year "1961" printed in bold red. The reverse side notes "Honored Guest," indicating its exclusive use, potentially for a family member, VIP, or someone closely associated with the event. This particular stub was intended for Row C, Seat 118. The ticket has been professionally authenticated and encapsulated by PSA, receiving a grade of 1.5 FR. While it shows signs of handling and creasing, these characteristics are typical for tickets that were actively used during such a significant event in American history. The historical value and rarity of this stub, especially given its "Honored Guest" designation, are what make it an extraordinary piece for collectors. PSA Population Report: According to the updated PSA population report, there is a total of 33 graded ticket stubs from JFK's 1961 inauguration, but this particular "Honored Guest/White House East" entry style ticket stub is a Pop 1, meaning it is the only graded example of this specific type. The rarity of this stub, combined with its likely use by a person of significant importance during the inauguration, makes it an exceptionally desirable item for collectors of presidential and historical memorabilia. Significance: John F. Kennedy's inauguration was a defining moment in U.S. history, ushering in a new era of hope and public service famously captured in his inaugural speech: "Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country." This ticket stub provides a rare, tangible link to that landmark day, particularly with its "Honored Guest" entry through the White House, suggesting it was used by someone closely associated with the administration or Kennedy family. Grading Details:Grade: PSA 1.5 FR (Fair)Population: 33 total graded stubs from the JFK Inauguration; this is the only example graded for "Honored Guest/White House East."
