Jim Henson was a puppeteer, director, and producer from the 1950s to the 1990s. He created The Muppets that were used in many television shows and movies including Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, The Dark Crystal, and Labyrinth. He passed away in 1990 at the age of 53 from bacterial pneumonia. After his passing, the Muppets were sold to Walt Disney productions. In 2018, Henson's son and daughter created "The Happytime Murders", a pretty bizarre live action/Muppet movie that is R rated (starring Melissa McCarthy). They were sued by Sesame Street Productions, but the movie prevailed (and bombed at the box office)!

Important Added Info: This index card has been personally autographed (signed) by Jim Henson! The index card could be matted with a vintage or repro still and framed together to make a cool display!

Note that this autographed item is part of a remarkable collection. In our last two all-signed auctions, we auctioned hundreds of items from this collection and now we are auctioning 40 signed index cards (plus 213 signed photos and repros that have a different note on those)!
     In the 1970s, our consignor was a teacher who taught a film class, and he also part-time ran the local movie theater (and he saved all the presskits from the movies the theater showed).
     Starting in the late 1970s through the late 1980s, he wrote to famous celebrities, and enclosed an 8x10 from his collection, and he wrote a literate personalized letter, talking about his work as a film teacher, and discussing his favorite movie by that star.
     See our other note with the 213 signed photos from this consignor for more about how he acquired them. But in additional to sending photos, he would also enclose an index card, and mention that the star could sign the index card if they didn't want to sign the photo. He found that many, many stars would sign both! This auction is for one of 40 index cards which he received back from the celebrities who he had written to.
     He of course does not have any "Certificates of Authenticity", but he only kept ones he felt were surely authentic, and those are the ones we are auctioning. However, bidders can certainly compare the signatures to known examples on the internet to judge for themselves.

As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes.
