Buddy Holly Incredibly Rare Twice-Signed 1953 Lubbock High School Yearbook (REAL)

Buddy Holly Incredibly Rare Twice-Signed 1953 Lubbock High School Yearbook (REAL).

Original 1953 Lubbock High School 'The Westerner' yearbook, 7.75 x 10.75, 320 pages, signed in brown ink, "Buddy Holley," as a member of the sophomore class above his student photo on page 128.

Also inscribed and signed by Holly on a free end page at the back of the book, "—Morris—Here's hopin' you'll have the best of luck in the years to come, Buddy Holly."

In overall very good to fine condition.

Born in Lubbock as Charles Hardin Holley, but known to all as 'Buddy,' Holly dropped the 'e' from his surname after Decca misspelled it in his original 1956 recording contract. A superb early autograph from the pioneering rock 'n' roller.

Good condition.
