Exceptional and highly collectible Donald J. Trump hand-signed red “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” hat, independently authenticated by PSA Authentication Services and originating from the personal collection of Doug Pike, known as “Officer Pike,” of the Jacksonville, Florida area. This classic Cali-Fame Headwear MAGA hat bears a Made in USA manufacturer label and features embroidered MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN lettering, an embroidered “45” representing Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States, an embroidered American flag, and a large, bold Donald Trump autograph prominently signed across the bill. The signature on this specific hat has been independently examined and authenticated by PSA Authentication Services and is accompanied by its original PSA Letter of Authenticity identifying Donald Trump as the signer, the item as a hat, and Certification No. AT04277. The matching PSA authentication sticker bearing the same certification number remains affixed underneath the bill.
What makes this piece especially compelling for a serious collector is the surviving provenance surrounding the original owner and his broader political memorabilia collection. According to information provided by Pike’s family, Doug Pike served in the United States Coast Guard during the Vietnam War and later worked as a security officer for more than 20 years, a career of which he was extremely proud and from which the name “Officer Pike” originated; members of his family also served in law enforcement. Surviving personal and biographical materials associated with Pike, including family correspondence, handwritten material, photographs, and other archival material, further preserve the identity and history of the original collector.
The collection also includes White House correspondence dated July 21, 2020, addressed to Mr. Douglas Pike in Jacksonville, Florida. A photograph of this correspondence is included in the listing as additional provenance and collection-reference material. It is presented to document the identity and broader historical context of the original collector and is not represented as authentication of this particular hat or its autograph.
According to the family provenance accompanying the collection, this hat was represented as having been personally presented to Officer Pike and hand-signed by Donald J. Trump before becoming part of Pike’s personal collection. This family provenance is presented as historical background surrounding the piece; the authenticity of the Donald Trump signature itself is independently supported by the accompanying PSA authentication.
The broader Officer Pike Collection contains additional material supporting its history, including photographs of Pike with prominent political figures such as U.S. Congressman Ander Crenshaw and Florida State Senator John Thrasher, as well as additional personally inscribed memorabilia and surviving personal material. Photographs of selected related materials are included in this listing to illustrate the broader provenance and historical context of the collection.
Particularly significant is a separate Donald Trump hand-signed golf scorecard from the same Officer Pike Collection bearing the personalized handwritten inscription “Officer Pike Great Job - Thanks!” together with Donald Trump’s signature. That separate autograph has been independently authenticated by Beckett Authentication Services (BAS), Certification No. AE58633. The Beckett Letter of Authenticity identifies Donald Trump as the signer, identifies the item as a Score Card, records the inscription “Officer Pike Great Job - Thanks!,” and includes an image of the authenticated item. This separately authenticated piece provides an important independently authenticated connection between Donald Trump memorabilia in the collection and the named original collector, Officer Pike.
The Officer Pike Collection also includes a second Donald Trump hand-signed MAGA hat, representing Trump’s historic return as the 47th President of the United States. That second hat is independently PSA authenticated and is offered separately. Together, the PSA-authenticated signed hats, the Beckett-authenticated personalized “Officer Pike” golf scorecard, White House correspondence, photographs, personal papers, and other surviving material create a broader provenance-connected collection surrounding the original owner.
Photographs and references to the Beckett-authenticated golf scorecard, the second PSA-authenticated signed hat, White House correspondence, photographs with political figures, handwritten papers, biographical documentation, and other Officer Pike materials are included solely for provenance, historical context, and collection-reference purposes unless expressly stated otherwise.
