On October 8th, Bonhams will auction off the personal collection of the late Senator Dianne Feinstein.
After Jimmy Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize, he gave Dianne Feinstein a personally signed program from the ceremony.
Lot link: A JIMMY CARTER SIGNED PROGRAM FROM THE 2002 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE AWARD CEREMONY
Jimmy Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his "untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development."
Printed program, SIGNED AND INSCRIBED by Carter on the cover, "Best wishes to Dick & Dianne / Jimmy Carter,".
The pre-auction estimate is US$150 - US$250. This market resolves YES if the final sale price listed on the Bonhams website is >$250.
Resolution details
Example from a past auction: the "THE PRESIDENT OF CONGRESS ANNOUNCES AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE" document is listed as "Sold for US$127,500 inc. premium". This is the equivalent number I will use.
Note that the final listed sale price typically includes the buyer's premium (and potentially other fees).
If the lot is withdrawn before the auction, this market resolves N/A. If it is bid on at the auction, but does not ultimately sell, it resolves NO.

3.00@traders The auction (at least the snippets I saw) was nuts—it ran for 9+ hours, with so many bidders (here's some NYT coverage from before). All of her jewelry sold for many many times the high estimates, although anecdotally her collection of American art didn't fare as well (with some disappointing sales that I saw).
For this market, Jimmy Carter's signed program sold for US$3,840, >1500% above high end estimate of $250, which is absolutely nuts. Manifold Celeb Jimmy Carter stays winning, once again.
@traders Some big auctions coming up. Bet whether the famous Jeff Koons balloon statues can beat out a more classic David Hockney painting:
