I recall seeing auctions where the offering was individual words clipped from documents handwritten by George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. If memory serves me right, in these cases the documents were surveyors' and legal documents that, in and of themselves, were not historically significant.
In those instances I didn't see anything wrong with it, because "no historical documents were harmed in making this movie," as it were, and it allowed collectors on smaller budgets the opportunity to own
something in Washington's and Lincoln's handwriting.
