She went under the hammer for $ 30,000 (almost 2 million rubles) and went to a British private collector.

Such a price, according to the actionists, speaks of a high interest in the personality of Jack the Ripper. The identity of this serial killer, who was operating in the Whitechapel district of London in 1888, is still a mystery. So far, various amateur detectives have been investigating and publishing studies of the probable identity of the Ripper. The police received several letters and cards signed by “Jack the Ripper”, but experts consider only some of them to be real, UPI reports.

The card sold is considered real. It is dated October 29, 1888, 11 days before the death of the last victim Mary Kelly. The postcard was kept in the materials of the case until 1966, after it was presented to the constable, who leaves the service. She was put up for auction by the widow of a constable who expected to save around $ 1000, but got 30 times more.
