This item is 100% Authentic to include a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) / hologram by Beckett Authentication Services.The authenticity can be verified on Beckett Authentication Services website. Rare softcover 1959 Hematite yearbook from Bob Dylan’s senior year at Hibbing High School in Hibbing, Minnesota, 180 pages, 8 x 11, signed and inscribed on the first free end page in blue ballpoint, “I’ll write under Echo’s name. Good luck in your acting career. Everyone knows you’ll make a good one. Sincerely, Bob Zimmerman.” Dylan’s senior portrait appears on page 76, with his caption noting that he hopes “to join ‘Little Richard.’” In very good to fine condition, with soiling and creasing to the signed page, and paper loss to the lower right corners of most pages, heaviest to the signed page, but not affecting Dylan's signature or sentiment.Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the yearbook's original owner, which reads, in part: “I went to Hibbing High School with Robert Zimmerman aka Bob Dylan in 1957, 1958 and 1959…His girl friend Echo Helstrom was a good friend of mine and they were ‘dating’ for a period of time…We all wore black leather jackets. Sometimes Bob wore a shiny vest and a cowboy hat...In our senior year, 1959, Bob and I and some others had Dramatics Class together and were in a play called Sob Story…The problem was that we had unsupervised practice, and when the ‘cat’s away the mice will play.’ We used the time to climb up to the high school tower and talk and smoke Lucky Strike cigarettes instead of practicing. When it came time to perform the play, we were disorganized and hardly knew any of our lines…It must have been okay because the audience roared with laughter and applause. Hence, [what] Bob wrote in my yearbook.” Press Pass Collectibles only offers Authentic Autographs by Bob Dylan through Signings, In-Person Signings or Private Collections to include a 100% money back Lifetime Authenticity Guarantee.
