I met a Lincoln collector at a collectibles show who had a playbill from April 14, 1865 from My American Cousin signed by all four of the conspirators including Mary Surratt who were hanged. He said a relative of his was a guard at the prison and just before the prisoners were led out to the gallows he had each of them sign the Playbill. Now THAT is a fantastic piece of Lincoln memorabilia! He said he was taking the Playbill to Antique road so when it was in his area. I can't find any episode of that show with his item.

If that collector was telling the truth, that’s incredible.
the Smithsonian has many historical items I don't know why they aren't put in a traveling museum.
A very interesting and informative video.
