thank you for stating this. I saw that first thing off

Are you serious? Most times it's the mom who fills these out and then sends it to family. If it was going to her side I can totally see it filled out that way.

In 1958? Girl bye!

If anything because it was going to her side of the family, she'd have made it say My Proud Parents Are John & Mattie Nelson but Mr. & Mrs. Mattie Nelson, I think not because in 1958 that would have been more than just a tad disrespectful to her husband. Now I never knew his mother but I would hope and like to think that she would not have been like that regarding such in important moment in her family's lives.

Yes, in 1958. And yes, I can totally see someone writing that. Not everyone thinks it's disrespectful....even in 1958.

i say it is real, 1) use of "Skipper" we all know that was also Prince's nick name, so no one faking this would use it.

2) it uses his real name not Rodgers, we have had this debate before. His birth certificate says Rodger, no S. Yet nearly every place eles lists it as "Rodgers." So why use the almost never used and correct spelling of Rodger?

3) misspelled hospital name

and she was writing them, so she put her name first. so what? that is a really silly thing to focus on.

I say its real too! I can see him already practicing singing a song!!!

I say it's real too. And why do people keep typing RoDger? It`s Roger, people...Roger.

Oh, that's him. Too many details are right, including the one's that look wrong. Too cute.

Whether its fake or not, I dunno, but it's really creepy to sell such a thing. I think its fake cuz there's no S and why would he have a nickname at birth? Of course, as I write that I'm reminded that I was called Chas before I was born. But I digress. It's hella creepy.

If it could be authenticated, the seller would have been asking for 10 times that, don't you think?

$700 can buy a lotta meth in Iowa.

I wondered about that, too!

Well celebrity or not i'm never a fan of selling personal things like this.

SO wrong

What's next MJ's autopsy photos?

I don't care how bad the current financial economy is, subjective or otherwise - THERE ARE ALWAYS MORAL BOUNDARIES.

His mother said she nicked named him Skipper as a baby so probably shortly after birth (eg around the time these would have been sent out). And the "S" in Roger was added later - as stated by others earlier, Roger is on the birth certificate and it was later changed to Rogers.

I read somewhere that it was originally Roger too.

Interesting find if it's him...he only weighed 5lbs. Teehee!

If it is real the buyer really needs to find a way to give it back to Prince I mean who wants someone's birth annoucement

Collectors I guess, but being that it's a birth announcement I'm sure there's a few others out there someplace.

Wait till other people with early pix of Prince find out they can get $700 bucks on ebay,

This is probably the youngest picture the public has seen? Im not certain how I feel about this being for sale, you would figure family would want to keep something like this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Princ...4aa78f916b

Not my auction.

This is twisted. Anyone that is interested in this is just way too obsessed.

Being a hardcore fam/fan whatever is one thing but shit like this is private...very private.

thats him! look at that huge mellon and he already lookin 4 the white women!

yomamafat said:

Yes, it is him. I wish I seen that item before. And remember everyone, 700 dol. for Prince's memorabilia that actually came from his family is petty cheap.

BTW, where did you see Prince with white woman? He likes beautiful exotic looking women, mixed who have spanish and black in them. I think the prettiest of them and more feminine was Mayte. But the most prettiest of them is Prince himself, haha

It's a great item.

I see no problem selling it !

I have a 1996 Prince boarding pass when he flew to Hawaii to getmarried and a copy of his 1996 driver's license along with the Jerokee insurance papers.

People (some here on the Org) stole items from his garbage at Paisley Park. Is that wrong as well
