GUEST: My freshman year of college, 9/11 happens. I kind of collect Time magazines, pick this up, never really thought I'd do anything with it. When I was in college later at NDSU in Fargo, it turned out George W. Bush was traveling to Fargo immediately after the State of the Union address in 2005. So at the time, I was taking a photography course, and I thought, "I'm gonna go to this, maybe I could get lucky and get this signed." So I kind of faked my way up to the front. I got past the Secret Service, I got past a lot of other people, got right up to the front of the barrier, and President Bush came around, and sure enough, he signed this for me.
APPRAISER: It's a very emotional cover. It's a very poignant cover right after 9/11. George W. Bush had approximately 34 Time covers that he appeared on, but this is probably the one that is the most poignant in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Generally, signed George W. Bush covers can be anywhere between $200 and $300. However, I've only seen one of these signed covers since 2001, and it sold in 2003 for $825. Now fast-forward to today, I would put an insurance value of $1,500.
GUEST: Wow.
