Mr Reagan was dead almost 3 years before the date on the card.

Reagan died in 2004. He spoke at the 1992 Republican Convention (his last).

Yes I messed up, I looked at his page and somehow got his presidential term lined up with his date of death, my bad.

opinion on the authenticity? When I look at other items sig seems to match up but handwriting on the date doesn't appear to. I am thinking of getting it if everyone here likes it. Need help. Thanks

Don’t know if it’s good but he was the greatest 8 year President I’m my lifetime.

I think the date was probably written by Reagan. I looked at other items on RR Auction's website, and there are similarities with the N in "Nov", and the "92".

In the early 90s he was signing his books through the mail. Probably cut from his book to make this dumb card.

The signature and date are good. We must remember a couple of things when viewing post-Presidency signatures of Reagan. One is that he was in his late 70s when he got out of office and in his early 80s when he did a lot of signing especially books so age was a factor in his signature , but more importantly he was diagnosed with Alzheimer"s Disease in 1994 ( not too long after this signature was inscribed ) and no one is sure for how many years previously he might have been having symptoms, which obviously would have affected his signature in many ways.
