    Press Release - November 23, 2011 1922 Ty Cobb Detroit Uniform Brings $358,500 In $5.3 Million Heritage Sports Auction “Shoeless Joe” Jackson signed baseball, Walter Hagen PGA gold medal and Bob Feller jersey command top prices, capping $10+ million sales of historic sports items in 100 days DALLAS, TX – The Detroit Tigers uniform worn by Hall of Fame outfielder Ty Cobb during the 1922 season sold for $358,500 on Nov. 11 in Heritage Auctions’ Vintage Sports Collectibles Signature® Auction, notching the fourth six-figure price commanded by the category for a game worn jersey in 2011. A rare “Shoeless Joe” Jackson signed baseball topped all autograph results at a price of $77,675, bringing the auction total to just more than $5.3 million. All prices include 19.5% Buyer's Premium. “This event was a testament to the depth of the Heritage bidding clientele," said Chris Ivy, Director of Sports at Heritage Auctions. "It’s no small feat to achieve consistently strong prices for $10 million worth of collectibles in a three month period, but the top collectors continue to turn out in force.” The $358,000 bid for Cobb uniform earned ownership of one of just two Detroit Tigers uniforms worn by Ty Cobb known to survive to present. “This is the type of piece that top collectors dream about, and the type made me want to get into this business in the first place,” said Ivy. “It’s humbling to think we’ve been handed a Cobb, a Cy Young, a Lou Gehrig and a Hank Aaron rookie jersey in a single year.” The legend and the value of “Shoeless Joe” Jackson continued to climb in this auction with the $77,675 price realized for the finest known autographed ball from the banished Black Sox star. The ball was consigned by the son of a minor league manager, who once met Jackson, requested an autograph and watched as he slowly signed his name on the ball. “We’ll likely remember 2011 as the year of the signed baseball,” said Ivy. “This is the eighth ball to top $50,000 in this year’s Signature auctions.” Heritage further cemented its position as the leading auctioneer of rare vintage golf collectibles with stunning results for some of the links’ most important artifacts. Walter Hagen’s 1925 PGA gold medal led all competitors with a result of $62,738. His storied rival Bobby Jones provided four early winner’s medals for the event, each surpassing a price realized of $20,000, including a $33,460 price realized for Jones’ 1920 Western Golf Association Amateur Medal. Fresh-to-the-hobby sets drew the most action in the trading card portion of the auction as Heritage further developed its reputation as the industry’s top source for significant “finds.” Among the more noteworthy offerings making debuts within the event were full offerings of the 1933 Goudey and 1915 Cracker Jack issues. The maddeningly scarce 1933 Goudey Napoleon Lajoie drew $41,825 for an SGC 84 NM 7 example, and the second-finest 1951 Parkhurst Gordie Howe (PSA NM-MT 8) crossed the five-figure threshold with a $10,755 winning bid. Other notable results from the auction include: 1938-39 Bob Feller Game Worn Cleveland Indians Jersey: $35,850. 2011 Hideki Matsui 500th Home Run Baseball: Realized: $31,070. 1961 Ernie Davis Game Worn Syracuse Orangemen Jersey: Realized: $25,095. 1948 Jackie Robinson Single Signed Baseball: Realized: $21,510. Late 1960s Roger Maris Single Signed Baseball, PSA Mint 9: Realized: $11,950. 1959 Fleer The Three Stooges High Grade Complete Set (96) With 19 PSA MINT 9s Plus Wrapper: Realized: $7,768. 1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle #253 SGC 86 NM+ 7.5: Realized: $16,730.

    LOT SETTLEMENT AND PICK-UP

    Available immediately following session or weekdays 9:00 AM 5:00 PM CT by appointment only.

    *This session is presented via catalog and online. Bidding is taken by phone and through our website. There are two phases of bidding during this type of auction: 1) Normal bidding: Bids are taken up until 10 PM CT the night the auction closes. 2) Extended Bidding / 30 Minute Ending: On a lot-by-lot basis, starting at 10:00 PM CT, any person who has bid on the lot previously may continue to bid on that lot until there are no more bids for 30 minutes. For example, if you bid on a lot during Normal Bidding, you could participate during Extended Bidding for that lot, but not on lots you did not bid on previously. If a bid was placed at 10:15, the new end time for that lot would become 10:45. If no other bids were placed before 10:45, the lot would close. If you are the high bidder on a lot, changing your bid will not extend the bidding during the 30 Minute Ending phase (only a bid from another bidder will extend bidding). If you are the only bidder at 10 PM, you will automatically win the lot at 10:30. Important: After normal bidding ends, you must be signed-on to the Heritage site to see the bidding option on lots where you qualify for extended bidding.

    11/11/11. This final Heritage Sports Collectibles Signature Auction of 2011 will conclude on that numerologists dream of a day. What does it mean? Anything? Ballplayers are notoriously superstitious, and six number ones would seem to be a positive omen, but our tremendous confidence in this auction isnt bolstered by lucky numbers. Its pure reason that fuels our rosy outlook for this groundbreaking auction event. Yet again, our consignment directors have scoured the country (and beyond) seeking the rare, the significant and the valuable, and were pleased to present our largest and most star-studded Signature auction in Heritage history. A pair of fresh-to-the-hobby finds rises to the pinnacle of their respective subgenres. The earliest known Ty Cobb uniform, the road grey jersey and pants worn by the Georgia Peach while traveling with the 1922 Detroit Tigers, brings the known population of the former Hit Kings jerseys to four. And the son of a former manager in the Carolinas Tri-State League provides a baseball bearing a stunning NRMT autograph from the reclusive Shoeless Joe Jackson. The locker room doors of yesteryear swing wide with a seemingly endless array of Hall of Fame flannels: Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Bob Feller, Chuck Klein, Duke Snider, Joe Ducky Medwick, Warren Spahn and Steve Carlton to name a few. Historic lumber derives from Gil Hodges glorious 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers World Series victory, and Mickey Mantles appearance in the 1959 All-Star Game. And we have a Boston Braves cap from the Final season in the game for Babe Ruth. The happy coincidence of high-end golf consignments has made this event required viewing for any hobbyist with a links concentration, as the trophy rooms of legends like Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen, Bobby Locke and Paul Runyan spill open with Championship medals and other artifacts from their seasons of dominance. Elite boxing consignments provide three centuries of pugilistic thrills, highlighted by Tom Sayers letter accepting the famous 1860 Heenan bout, and the Middleweight Championship belt won by Carl Bobo Olson. Those voices decreeing the end of quality trading card finds will be rendered silent for another auction cycle, and the first ever offering of the 1887 Kalamazoo Bats Ed Cushman card is likely to leave quite a large number of collectors speechless as well. A high-quality 1933 Goudey Baseball set also makes its hobby debut in the pages that follow. From tobacco to candy to bubble gum and everything in between, this auction should provide attractive targets for the smoker and the sweet tooth alike. Of course, one need only feel the heft of this catalog in his hands to conclude that this letter barely scratches the surface of the riches contained within. Keep in mind as you devise your bidding strategy that we are happy to accept consignments toward payment of auction invoices, and our consignment directors are always available to discuss potential auction values. As always, I close with a word of gratitude to the consignors who have chosen Heritage, and to the bidders who will give their treasures a new home. Thank you for putting your trust in us, and for helping to make Heritage the Worlds Largest Collectibles Auctioneer. Sincerely,

    Chris Ivy Director of Sports Auctions

    80001 1887 N690 Kalamazoo Bats Ed Cushman SGC 50 VG/EX 4 - A New Discovery. This is the rst time this card has ever been oered at public auction. The career of Edgar Leander Cushman lasted a span of seven years (1883-1890). Representing no less than ve dierent teams during his playing days, Cushman compiled a 60-82 record and a lifetime 3.86 ERA. His greatest achievement came late in 1884 with Milwaukee. While appearing in only four games, Ed won all four games! In back-toback starts fans saw a no-hitter and then eight scoreless innings, an almost impossible feat in baseball. The discovery of this Kalamazoo Bat earns Cushman the attention in the hobby world he doesnt enjoy for his on the eld exploits. He is listed in reference guides but to date this is the rst recorded entry based on both PSA and SGC census reports. We have found no instance where an example has been sold publicly. The in-uniform portrait is the same image used for the very rare N172 Spotted Tie sub-set featuring members of the New York Metropolitans. Graded SGC 50 VG/EX 4, the card has very light edge/corner wear with minor spot staining that only mildly aects an image that is crisp with ne details. Some surface roughness appears on the blank reverse. How often does one have to acquire the rst available example of a close to 125year old collectible? It is entirely possible only a few other copies may have survived. Starting Bid: $3,750

    Session One, Auction #7041 | Thursday, November 10, 2011 | 10:00PM CT

    80002 1876 Washburn & Moen Barb Fence Armor Trade Card featuring the Boston Base Ball Grounds. Oered for the rst time (as best we could determine) is a very rare 1876 trade card advertising Barb Fence Armor. Barb wire was rst patented in 1868 making this a very early promotion for the product which was popular with farmers and ranchers. It seems it was also a favored part of the stadium for the Boston Base Ball Grounds as the the front displays a wood cut scene of a game being played plus surrounding buildings. The back copy conveys the testimonial of N.F. Apolonio, President. The 6 x 3-3/8 thin cardstock collectible has passed the test of time well with only light corner wear and a spot stain or two of note. Overall excellent condition and a rare entry for any 19th century collection. Starting Bid: $150

    80004 1887 N172 Old Judge Cigarettes John Irwin, Washington. Graded PSA EX 5, one of only four total examples graded by that rm. (Pose #243-3). Solid high end copy of John Irwins Washington variation. Four corners with minor wear at corner tips which frame a nicely detailed image of the 11-year inelder. Clean surfaces and a problem free reverse. Starting Bid: $150

    80003 1887 N172 Old Judge Cap Anson, Street Clothes SGC Authentic. Cap Anson is among the most important subjects of the monumental, and signicant, N172 Old Judge series. The set is certainly the most important 19th Century sports release and this is one of only a pair of portrait poses in which the baseball pioneer appears. The oered specimen does show its age, now just shy of 125 years old. Soiling, corner wear and light creasing is present. The card has been assessed SGC Authentic most likely due to trimming. In any condition, a signicant addition for the N172 enthusiast. Starting Bid: $250

    80006 1887 N28 Allen & Ginter R.L. Caruthers PSA NM 7. From the rst mainstream tobacco issue we make available this largely problem free card of the baseball player R.L. Caruthers. One of ten baseball players in the issue that focused on athletes from a variety of disciplines. This PSA NM 7 portrait card depicts Parisian Bob Caruthers who both pitched and played in the outeld for the St. Louis Browns and the Brooklyn Bridegrooms. The card has slight edge wear on the reverse and some faint ink ghosting. Corner tip wear is minimal. A solid high end card. Starting Bid: $200

    80005 1887 N172 Old Judge Harry Wright PSA EX 5. The only example to occupy the EX level on the PSA pop report with four grading higher. To date, only ten total N172 Harry Wright cards have been graded by that rm. A rare opportunity to acquire this extremely scarce subject from this historical issue. The card issued in honor of the Hall of Fame baseball pioneer responsible for such innovations as the modern uniform and baseball score sheets, Harry Wright is considered a pivotal pioneer of the game. Graded PSA EX 5, there is a distinctive lack of physical evidence towards its true age. The formal portrait of Wright has faded but is free of any surface imperfections. A key entry for Hall of Fame collectors, 19th Century enthusiasts and N172 Old Judge specialists. Starting Bid: $1,250

    80007 Circa 1888 Marceau & Power Cabinet Henry Boyle SGC Authentic. Henry Boyle pitched for only ve years and has some odd stats to show. In 1886 he went an abysmal 9-15 but had an impressive 1.76 ERA. In his last season he actually won 21 games, but lost 23 in the process. This 5-1/16 x 6-5/16 cabinet card has been slabbed SGC Authentic due to the right and top edges being trimmed. Henry is clearly named on the mount that has a few areas of adhesive(?) staining, two clipped corners and Traitor Boyle written on the reverse. The photo itself is only mildly aected by condition issues. Henrys image is sharp and clear with good detail and contrast. An attractive example of an obscure player from a rare 19th Century production. Starting Bid: $125
    Session One, Auction #7041 | Thursday, November 10, 2011 | 10:00PM CT 9

    80008 1888 N162 Goodwin Champions Cap Anson PSA Authentic. The 50-card Champions edition is certainly one of the nest tobacco card productions of the 19th Century with a sports theme. Featuring an array of athletes from various sporting endeavors, none are more sought after than the eight baseball players and the undisputed key subject is Chicago 1st Baseman Adrian Cap Anson. Anson was a prominent member of the 19th Century baseball community and the N162 that bears his portrait is one of his best cardboard keepsakes. The oered example presents as a typical excellent level card, but appears to have been rebacked with a second N162 card. Assessed PSA Authentic. Starting Bid: $300

    80009 1890 Waldon-Smith Cabinet John Clarkson SGC Authentic. Extremely scarce Circa 1890 G. Waldon-Smith Studios cabinet card of Boston star pitcher John Clarkson. From 1885 to 1889 Clarkson won an exhausting 209 games but would be retired just ve years later. During that historic span, his worst showing was the 33 wins he posted in 1888. By the time he retired in 1894 John had pitched over 4,500 innings and won 328 games. This rare 4-3/16 x 6-5/16 Clarkson collectible, aside from the clipped corners, has just a few condition issues, the worst being a small chip into the top edge. On the clean, blank back are the words Copyrighted 1889 written in ink along the bottom. The front has the name John L. Clarkson noted in the bottom border area under the actual photo and shows general overall age toning plus some obvious staining. The central image is moderately aected and has retained sharp detail in the face. A faint Boston is still visible across his chest. A rare 19th Century collectible of one of the eras top performers.

    80010 1894 N142 Duke Honest Cabinet John S. Johnson, Cyclist. Cards in the series designated N142 are referred to as cabinet cards but are really much more. For one, their generous 6 x 9-1/2 size dwarfs your traditional cabinet and in place of a real photo there is a beautifully lithographed illustration. Certainly a premium obtained in exchange for what was probably a kings ransom in coupons. N142s are among the most breathtaking tobacco promotions of the 1890s with examples only rarely oered. Presented even in fewer quantities are the non-baseball subjects as we oer here. This Honest brand cabinet features bicyclist John H. Johnson. The corners show some wear while the all-important central image has only light surface web wrinkling on the left background area. The reverse shows a pair of corner wrinkles and in light ink the initials J.C.M., probably the monogram of a proud previous owner. Overall, very good to excellent condition with the aforementioned ink notation on the reverse. A truly rare collectible found in only the most advanced collection. Starting Bid: $150

    80011 1895 N300 Mayos Cut Plug Billy Nash SGC 40 VG 3. Billy Nash was a star of the game in the 1890s playing 11 of his 15 years with the team he is depicted on his N300 Mayo card, the Boston Beaneaters. In what seems like an odd highlight, Nash stands out as he hit 10 home runs not once but twice in his career. After Boston, Nash spent four years as player/manager for Philadelphia. This is a solid middle grade copy, now graded SGC 40 VG 3, with surface & corner wear, one crease and a surface scratch. The reverse surface is largely free of issues, the portrait of the Boston star is well dened with deep detail. Starting Bid: $150

    80012 1904 Allegheny Card Co Hand Cut Joe Stanley SGC 88 NM/MT 8. By denition the rarest of all baseball card issues, it is believed that just a single prototype of each player for this boxed card game was ever produced. The game, failing to reach production, consists of 112 known cards, each featuring only National League players. Discovered in the late 1980s, all known examples have been cut by hand and the set was sold intact in 1995 when the cards were then sold individually. Here we present the one and only example of Boston Braves left elder Joe Stanley, rating an impressive SGC 88 NM/MT 8. If you are enamored with 1 of 1 cards, this issue is a dream come true for you.

The Old Fox is surrounded with golden scrollwork on this most beautiful of all tobacco issues. Issued during the Hall of Famers brief tenure as skipper of the Cincinnati Nationals, Clark was also a seven time 20-game winner and would own the Washington Senators well into the 1950s. Condition is exceptionally strong for a piece of this vintage, with the totality of wear conned to the outermost corner tips. The back of the card is equally as impressive with not a single dimple in the delicate embossing. Starting Bid: $1,500

    80014 1909 T204 Ramly Eddie Collins SGC 86 NM+ 7.5 - Pop One, Highest SGC Grade! Estimated to be fty times as scarce as cards from the T206 set, the coveted T204 remains one of tobacco card collectings most challenging pursuits. Oered is Hall of Fame 2nd Basemen Eddie Collins. Being the nest copy examined by the conservative eyes at SGC only adds to the appeal carried by this exceptional condition rarity. The beautiful series is renowned for their ne black and white portraits and elegant golden scrollwork that dene the issue. Only the mildest of corner wear and a small stain on the reverse sets this card apart from the vast majority of its Dead Ball-era brethren. Starting Bid: $1,500

    80015 1909-11 E90-1 American Caramel Ty Cobb SGC 40 VG 3. The E90-1 set was produced by the American Caramel Co. from 1909 though 1911 never requiring any youngster to stand outside a tobacco shop begging for the treasured thin card inserts. The bulk of the set was released in an era when Ty Cobb captured the AL Triple Crown (09) and was a unanimous choice for MVP of the American League (11) after posting a .420 batting average. The oered card has been graded 40 VG 3 by SGC but certainly not based on eye appeal or corner wear more associated with higher grade labeling. The only aws are a pair of very small surface chips, one just above his cap, the other at his pant leg. There are no wrinkles or creases. At arms length, this appears to be an excellent condition card. Nice card for the grade. Starting Bid: $200

    80017 1909-11 T206 Sweet Caporal Frank Chance, Red Portrait PSA NM 7. He was dubbed The Peerless Leader as he led the Cubs to pennants in 1906-08 and 1910 as their player-manager. A well centered specimen that exhibits solid red color, crisp image and stark white borders. Super clean Sweet Caporal back. Starting Bid: $375

    80019 1909-11 T206 Piedmont Ty Cobb, Bat O Shoulder SGC 50 VG/ EX 4. A erce and determined look in the eyes of the early baseball legend makes this variation the most honest portrait in this most popular of tobacco issues. Judging solely by the visual power of the image area, this card would be tough to beatcolor and registration are superb, no creases or stains on front, ever so faintly on the verso. It is due solely to the typical edge and corner wear that this card was designated a SGC 50 VG/EX 4. Starting Bid: $300 80021 1909-11 T206 Piedmont Johnny Evers, Portrait SGC 88 NM/MT 8. Few vintage cards are capable of enlivening a collection in the manner brought about by the introduction of a top-quality T206. If the card happens to feature Johnny Evers as its subject, the eect is even more pronounced. Of the trio of poses devoted to Evers, his Portrait with the distinct Green Background - seen here - is by far his most striking depiction! Evers penetrating gaze on this marvelously well-conceived insert commands special reverence as it challenges in authority the stern glare of the Georgia Peach himself. It is a hundred-year-old classic that boasts enduring appeal, and is oered in a state of preservation that will doubtless inspire fascination for yet another century. Among the hundreds of copies of this depiction validated by both SGC and PSA, there are none at the Mint level (with no detail regarding pose). The SGC report shows only three at the NM/MT level with only one higher. On the face of this abundantly praiseworthy specimen, Everss visage projects with almost startling clarity, and the brightness of his memorable surroundings has remained completely unblemished by time. Unforgiving examination intended to expose mostly non-existent faults reveals the centering of the graphics slightly low of perfection, a whisper of wear at the bottom-right corner (the bottom left corner is Gem MT quality) and faint toning along the left perimeter on the reverse. The cards Piedmont - 150 Subjects reverse-side design is boldly inked. A fantastic example of a prime T206 entry. Starting Bid: $1,500

    80020 1909-11 T206 Sweet Caporal Ty Cobb, Red Portrait SGC 50 VG/ EX 4. The denitive portrait of the Dead Ball Eras greatest star resides between four perfectly spaced borders on this card from tobaccos most popular issue. Very light edge wear and mild corner rounding is all too obvious here but overall visual appeal is higher. This precisely registered example has ben graded SGC 50 VG/EX 4 and has a Sweet Caporal 350-460 Series reverse. Starting Bid: $200

    80022 1909-11 T206 Sweet Caporal Nap Lajoie, With Bat PSA NM 7. Turn-of-the-century hero Nap Lajoie was renowned among the nest ballplayers of the era. Lajoies talents were at the top of the sport, until the arrival of Ty Cobb into the majors in 1905. Thus started one of the nest individual sports rivalries that comes to mind. Oered here is a high end quality example, which exhibits near perfect centering, great color and corners. Examples like this are extremely dicult to come by in NM condition. Clean Sweet Caporal back. Starting Bid: $500

    80023 1909-11 T206 Sweet Caporal Christy Mathewson, Dark Cap PSA EX 5.

The Christian Gentleman, Christy Mathewson was a college man who wrote a series of childrens books. Mathewson was an upstanding role model at a time when most ballplayers were thought to be hard-living and hard-drinking souls from the unpolished margins of society. Clean white borders, sharp corners, and outstanding color retention make this tobacco card from the T206 issue a worthy target for any collector of this vintage. Graded PSA EX 5. Starting Bid: $200

    80024 1909-11 T206 Sweet Caporal Christy Mathewson, White Cap PSA EX 5. A member of Cooperstowns inaugural class, Christy won at least 30 games in a season four times in his career.

This card is the the rst and only one to ever grade at this level and is the highest graded example as noted in both SGC and PSA pop reports.

    80028 1910 D322 Tip Top Bread Tommy Leach PSA EX-MT 6 - Pop One with None Higher! Stunning example from the scarce D322 Tip-Top bread series.

    80031 1910 D322 Tip Top Bread The Tip-Top Boy Mascot PSA EX+ 5.5 - Pop One, Highest Graded Example! What team is complete without a mascot? The tradition goes back to the earliest days of the game and few can forget the classic image of Buck Ewing and his pint-sized side-kick posing for the Goodwin issues of the late 1880s. When Ward-Mackey honored the World Champion Pittsburgh Pirates they took the opportunity for a little self promotion and issued this card of The Tip-Top Bread Mascot. This was a fun addition adding some air to the otherwise formal portraits of the Pittsburgh players and team owner. Not just cute, he is also quite scarce and is as highly prized as the most admired players on the team. A high end card well deserving of the PSA assessment. This card is the rst and only one to ever grade at this level and is the highest graded example as noted in both SGC and PSA pop reports. Starting Bid: $750

    80032 1910 D322 Tip Top Bread Honus Wagner SGC 40 VG 3. While the issue may not be familiar to the casual collector, the image most assuredly is. Its an artful remaining of Carl Horners denitive photographic portrait, the same image utilized for the creation of the shortprinted T206 tobacco card which serves as the hobbys most coveted and valuable cardboard. Just twenty-three Tip Top Wagners have found a home in a SGC capsule, only ve achieve an equal VG 3 designation. Seven have graded higher. The rather imsy paper stock utilized in the sets creation is largely to blame for the scarcity and condition issues, but we nd none of the typical extensive creasing that plagues the surviving population. Corner wear and a negligible eastward centering shift accounts for the rating of the presented specimen. And Wagner, as the undisputed leading star of the Steeltown squad, would be more susceptible to wear from trading and handling under ordinary circumstances. Starting Bid: $2,000

Undeniably strong card of a player who is making his only appearance on a baseball card. This card is the the rst and only one to ever grade at this level and is the highest graded example as noted in both SGC and PSA pop reports. Starting Bid: $500

The roster of 50 names is an exclusive Chicago only list with cards being issued over a three-year period. A single example of the large 5-3/4 x 8 cards are needed by even the more advanced hobbyists.

    80062 1912 S110 Baseball Player Silks Pillow Case Premium. Oered is the 23 x 23 premium made available by Helmar Cigarettes in exchange for 100 coupons in 1912. That was a grand amount in that time which required a great deal of smoking. The redemption program was made along with the beautiful individual baseball players silks which could be had for 25 coupons. The images are beautifully rendered and are surrounded by key elements of the game anchoring the baseball theme. Today, the colors have faded but this piece is very scarce and a highly prized entry into any vintage collection. One of two dierent known varieties, the ve pictured players are all timeless legends including Ty Cobb, Christy Mathewson, Frank Baker, Walter Johnson and Tris Speaker. Each athlete is surrounded by a red crosshatch border which served the function of telling where to attach the individual silks but also adds to the overall design and visual appeal. This piece does not have any silks attached. Matted and framed to an overall size of 31 x 31-1/2. The cloth has been mounted via a single stitch in each corner. The cloth itself has one small tear near Cobb plus edge wear. Starting Bid: $250

    80063 1912 S81 Large Silk Grover Cleveland Alexander #89 Consumers could choose which of the 25 popular baseball players of the day they wanted portrayed on a large 8-1/2 x 7 silk. With names like McGraw, Bender, Baker, Lajoie, Collins, Cobb, Speaker, Mathewson and Walter Johnson few would think to pick a young 2nd year lefty many might have thought was a president than a ball player in Grover Cleveland Alexander. This could explain why nding an Alexander on one of these beautifully colored silks is such a formidable challenge today. Just to qualify for a silk required 25 coupons (you only needed 10 coupons for a cabinet card (T3s)) which is why S81s are overall very scarce. The search is well rewarded as they are among the most beautiful display pieces the hobby has to oer. The oered silk is sharp looking with framing showing on all four sides. One horizontal crease and staining in the far lower right corner barely impacts the bold colors of Alexander in mid-wind up in his grey Philadelphia uniform. The gure and surrounding graphics pop o the surface. A rare entry from a formidable series with tremendous display and bragging rights value. Starting Bid: $500

    80081 1914 Cracker Jack Christy Mathewson #88 SGC 10 Poor 1. On Independence Day of this year, the great Christy Mathewson shut out the Phillies in the bottom half of a Polo Grounds doubleheader to notch his 350th career victory. With Babe Ruth nothing more than a promising prospect at the close of the year 1914, and Ty Cobb a brilliant but unlovable star, it was Mr. Mathewson that held the collective hearts of baseball fans nationwide at the time he appeared on this Cracker Jack card. Mathewson would appear in the 1915 Cracker Jack series but this attractive horizontal pitching pose would be replace by a regal portrait of Factoryville, PAs native son. Today, this revered card is among the most dicult cards to acquire from either of the E145 editions. Graded SGC 10 Poor 1, this card has creasing and soiling and an obvious reduction in the paper stock in the lower left corner, evidence that this card was once mounted in a vintage scrapbook. A prize for Cracker Jack collector and Mathewson enthusiasts as well. Starting Bid: $1,250

    80082 1915 Cracker Jack Christy Mathewson #88 SGC 96 Mint 9. A dream will come true for one sophisticated collector here, as Heritage presents one of the most remarkable E145-2 Cracker Jack cards to be placed upon the auction block in recent memory. Those with even a passing knowledge of the baseball collectibles can appreciate the scarcity and desirability of any Mint condition Mathewson baseball card. Mathewsons illustrious career was largely cemented in history by the time this card came to market. His career earned Matty a well justied place in Cooperstowns inaugural class of ve legends of the game. A hero o the eld as well, Christys death by pneumonia in 1925 was the delayed result of a poisonous gas attack occurring during his service in World War I . Issued only a year shy of his retirement from professional baseball, the multi-colored portrait is of a very young Mathewson, printed with a high degree of precision. His image and surrounding awless red eld are interrupted only by the Cracker Jack BALL PLAYERS tag line. The centering is perfect. The borders are bright and fresh, the back is a strong strike resulting in fully legible lettering. To be critical beyond the point of reason we will add there are micro dot bers in the paper stock within the white frame. If one passes on this card for that reason the lucky winner will be eternally grateful. Do we even need to add this is one of the two highest graded examples known? Starting Bid: $5,000

We should all be thankful that a complete set of Cracker Jack cards could be obtained for the heady sum of either 100 Cracker Jack coupons or 1 coupon plus 25-cents. The mailman must have been rather popular that year warding o the clamoring of impatient children desperately waiting for that package with the Cracker Jack return address. This oer alone seems to have allowed a small percentage of these thin paper collectibles to survive in this close to awless state for future generations to gaze in bewilderment at what it must have been like to experience these now treasured mementos as they just rolled o the presses. Ranking among the great names like Jackson, Johnson and Cobb in status within this 176-card issue, the Old Dutchman is shown in an insightful portrait betting the rst shortstop to enter the Baseball Hall of Fame. Colors are so vibrant its tough to believe that the card will be celebrating its centennial very soon. A magnifying glass is necessary to discern any hint of surface or edge wear, slight levels of wear at corner tips is all to explain the NM-MT 8 assessment. We will note that only sixteen cards have achieved a rating of NM-MT, only four have managed a higher grade. This is an exceptionally clean copy waiting to take its rightful place in one of the most advanced vintage card collections. Starting Bid: $5,000

    80094 1932 R328 U.S. Caramel Mickey Cochrane #12 SGC 88 NM/MT 8. The association between caramel and cards was in the nal stages when U.S. Caramel gave the hobby this 32-card series of mostly baseball players in 1932. Noted for their distinctive red backgrounds, this format oers great eye appeal in any condition. To see one so immensely fresh and bright you are literally taken back in time, your awe being the same as that lucky youngster almost eight decades ago. This stunning SGC 88 NM/MT 8 card featuring HoF catcher Mickey Cochrane is about as nice a 1930s vintage card of any designation youll see. The most hawkish eye will see the very faint spot of yellow in the far upper left corner, a spot immediately overshadowed by the vibrant and bold inks; four frosty white borders; corners that show the bare minimum of wear limited to outer tips; surfaces as smooth as silk. All that remains is the centering which is the epitome of precision. A fantastic addition to your vintage collection. Starting Bid: $750

    80095 1932 R328 U.S. Caramel Babe Ruth #32 PSA EX-MT 6. Caramel cards themselves are often problematic, falling victim to staining by the product with which they were packaged. We must also consider that a Ruth card, dating from the height of his Called Shot fame, would have been well-loved at the time, and hence bearing the signs of handling by young hands aording no thought to future monetary value. Lastly, the Babe nds himself the nal card in this issue of thirty-two, leaving him in real danger of the excess wear generally plaguing the rst and last cards in a set. After all that we are in awe of the exceptional quality of this high end PSA EX-MT 6 U.S. Caramel. The only hints of the passing decades lie in the ever so slight foxing of corner tips. Centering is as perfect as youll nd; both surfaces are exceptionally clean. The rosy red portrait of The Bambino perfectly captures his boyish charm and everlasting appeal. Free from almost all printing imperfections. Starting Bid: $1,500

Hard to believe there is a ner 33 Delong of the White Sox Hall of Famer. Every attribute, from inks, surfaces, corners to centering, screams quality.

If you could own just one of the oerings in this auction no one would argue with you adding this card for your treasured vintage collection. Starting Bid: $750

This is an outstanding copy with virtually no wear at all. A horizontal hairline away from perfect centering and four sharp corners combine with close to awless surface quality to earn a NM/MT+ assessment from the generally conservative SGC judgements. Its not often we can say that a card removed from a pack over 75 years ago still has that pack fresh appeal. Starting Bid: $750

    80100 1933 Delong Mickey Cochrane #6 SGC 86 NM+ 7.5 - Pop Two with None Higher! One of only two examples to grade at the SGC 86 NM+ 7.5 level with none grading higher! One of the key factors in bringing an end to the American League domination of the New York Yankees is Hall of Fame catcher Mickey Cochrane who was a key member of Connie Macks spectacular Philadelphia Athletics dynasty.

Very nice centering plus vibrant colors are reason enough to pursue this scarce 33 Delong but how could we not say that each corner is as sharp today as it was 75+ years ago. The reverse displays a awless print strike oering the same level of quality as the front. A fantastic addition to any vintage or Cubs specialty collection. With only 34 total examples reported by SGC, Cuyler is among the top names with the fewest submissions. Starting Bid: $1,000

In fact, PSA does not show an equal or higher graded example in their census report. Urbanski showed great promise coming o a 153 hit season in 32 to be included among the Delong roster that features many greats of the era. The undeniable quality of this NM/MT+ beauty elevates the 7 year Boston Braves to HoF-like status. Rich colors and precision centering earn the generally conservative SGC judgement.

This is not only the only example of card #12 to be graded 96 Mint 9 but the only card in the entire Delong series to earn the exalted assessment! And what a fantastic example it truly is. The card stands above the others as largely as the full-gured depiction of the Pirates HoF inelder. Centering is precise, coloring is fresh and bold, corners come to the expected sharp 90-degree angles. Delong Gum cards are quite scarce compared to the other promotions of the era. Adolescent handling, limited supply and a thinner, lesser quality card stock combined to almost guarantee high grade examples would not survive. Thankfully there are exceptions to every rule. The absolute ultimate example for the type card collector! Starting Bid: $1,000

    80107 1933 Delong Vernon Lefty Gomez #14 SGC 92 NM/MT+ 8.5 Pop One with None Higher! This is the only example to grade at this level with none higher!

A beautiful representation from the popular Delong issue featuring Hall of Fame Boston Red Sox slugger Jimmie Foxx. Great centering, quality corners, clean front and back surfaces and amazing hues are clearly evident when viewing this high-end exemplar. Next to Gehrig, Foxx is the key entry in the Delong roster and is rarely oered in this quality and as an individual card. As one of the nest SGC graded on record this is must-have for high grade set builders and Jimmie Foxx specialists alike. Starting Bid: $1,250

    80113 1933 Delong Joe Vosmik #20 SGC 84 NM 7 - Pop Two with None Higher. One of only two examples to grade at the SGC 84 NM 7 level with none grading higher! Very nice near-mint copy.

    80118 1933 E285 Rittenhouse Candy Babe Ruth SGC 70 EX+ 5.5. Circulated as part of a multi-card uncut panel (which required the untrained hand of the consumer to cut apart) and a design like a playing card it isnt surprising high end E285s are so hard to nd in quality condition. This beauty is the second nest known copy of only thirteen E285 Ruth cards submitted to date. If the quality and scarcity dont impress you, this card displays a boldly printed D making it a much tougher variation than the traditional blank back variety. This is one card many Babe Ruth specialists are lacking. Starting Bid: $200

    80119 1933 Goudey Sport Kings Ty Cobb #1 PSA-Authentic - Unique Patent Card! From the ever popular Sports Kings series we oer this example of the rst card showcasing baseball legend Ty Cobb. For an added level of appeal this unique entry was once housed by the U.S. Library of Congress and served as ocial record for Goudeys Big League Chewing Gum. This is the one and only patent card, with unmistakable back stamps of FEB 28 1934 and CIA A 139606 on the reverse clearly setting apart this card from an otherwise standard and highly treasured version. This manner of recording is standard procedure for all published material in the US. The card presents at the very-good level with one surface ding but no creases or wrinkles. The edges show a roughness from manual separation from the sheet. For this reason and this reason alone the card has been encapsulated PSA Authentic. A great chance to own a truly unique Cobb card collectible. Starting Bid: $1,000

    80121 1933 Goudey Sport Kings Ty Cobb #1 PSA EX 5. Topping even Babe Ruth for the number one spot (the Bambino was card number two), the tough kid from Georgia starts o a set that features the best from the Golden Age of boxing, hockey, football and beyond.

From the highly coveted classic series issued by Goudey in 1933 we present this beautiful #1 card featuring the Browns backstop Benny Bengough. Although Benny will never see his portrait on the wall of the Hall of Fame if the hobby had a card HoF this card would be a member. This is quite possibly the most famous common in the hobby. All rst cards are tougher to nd in high grade and no set shows us that more than the 33 Goudey series. For whatever reason this high end example has managed to survive with no damage to the cards surface and retains four sharp corners. A shift in the 25/75 centering and who knows what the SGC label could have read. A top of the line copy of the hobbys most condition sensitive cards. Starting Bid: $2,000

    80124 1933 Goudey Napoleon Lajoie #106 SGC 84 NM 7. Only the famous Honus Wagner card of the T206 set could claim a more vast divide among card collectors between those who fervently desire a specimen and those that actually own one. Both the T206 Wagner and the 1933 Goudey Lajoie are so scarce that listed full set prices for the issues fail to take them into consideration, beaten into submission by the knowledge that the cards just cant be found. Well, weve located one for our Heritage bidding clientele, allowing one lucky customer to switch teams to the haves from the have nots. Thanks must be oered to one young Depression-era set builder, who would not be deterred by the fact that card number 106 was not available in standard wax packs. It took a letter, mailed to the Boston oces of Goudey Gum Co., to earn this toughest of all cards from this Big Three set, accounting for their terric scarcity today. In light of the tiny population of surviving examples, the fantastic condition of the representation found here could almost be considered overkill-certainly this is no card for the casual collector. Consider that 211 examples of the sets second most valuable card, Babe Ruth #53, have been slabbed by SGC, almost eight times the amount of Lajoies (twenty-seven graded). And with only four rating higher than the oered example, one could safely rank this card among the most desirable of the chewing gum era. Starting Bid: $7,500

    80125 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #144 SGC 60 EX 5. The essence of the Depression-era game, distilled into a single three-inch tall piece of card stock and printers ink. The details of the oering are little more than a long list of superlatives, as the set and the player it pictures rank at the pinnacle of the hobby. Joining the 1909-11 T206 and 1952 Topps issues to form the baseball card collectings Big Three, the 1933 Goudey set is rightfully considered a consummate masterpiece, with gorgeous portraiture capturing many of the greatest names of the pre-war era. And certainly there was none greater than Babe Ruth, who strikes his classic batting pose here on what may be the sets most recognizable card. Rich colors and problem free surfaces bring the Babe to life almost three-quarters of a century after issue. Minor corner touches and a slight centering shift are all we can report which would account for the technical assessment. Starting Bid: $750

    80126 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #149 SGC 60 EX 5. It would be easy to go into a lengthy essay about the achievements of Babe Ruth but the rst line on the reverse says it all, Home run king of the big leagues. As a tribute to his sovereignty, Ruths likeness was featured no less than four times within the 1933 Goudey series. Considering the handling a cherished memento like this would endure, this example has survived as a ne representation of its type. A beautiful red background with equal levels of light corner wear. A solid excellent level copy. Starting Bid: $750

    80127 1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig #160 SGC 84 NM 7. Today, just as must have been the case 70-odd years ago, the sight of Lou Gehrigs batting posture never fails to generate excitement in the heart of the baseball enthusiast. Modern collectors can only marvel at the idea of peeling a gum packs wrapper - and spotting the NY logo on the gures cap, or picking up the sight of those Yankee pinstripes - as the full picture of the legend emerges into view. Its a thrill that knows no generational boundaries, largely because the 33 Goudey portrayal of the Iron Horse is such a timeless one. Like few others, this classic piece - with its incomparable subject - successfully captures and projects the feel of its era. This gum cards status as an elite relic, while immediately apparent upon viewing, is corroborated by its ranking in SGCs population tallies. As one of only four copies sharing its tier (and surpassed by only three) the card stands within clear view of the apex of its numbers 165-card census. Brilliant in every respect, this Gehrig tribute concedes just centering to the technical gods with just hints of sheet transfer so common with this issue. A tremendous card with little sign of ever being publicly circulated. Starting Bid: $1,000

    80128 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #181 SGC 80 EX/NM 6. The games most beloved star from the hobbys most beloved pre-war gum issue. Card #149 from the 1933 Goudey set of baseball legend Babe Ruth is easily one of the keys to this classic vintage issue. Adding his three other appearances, any doubt regarding the status of the Babe, here depicted with his prized tool-of-trade, is erased. Rich colors and problem free surfaces bring the Babe to life almost three-quarters of a century after issue. Minor corner touches and a slight centering shift are all we can report to account for the technical assessment. A rock solid EX/NM card any day of the week. Starting Bid: $1,000

    80129 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #181 PSA EX-MT 6. As if there was any doubt, Babe Ruths status in baseball was well expressed with his four appearances in the 1933 Goudey edition. Gehrig manages to appear twice but Goudey saw t to use the same illustration. Card #181 pictures the Babe holding his trusty lumber, gazing upward from within a highly detailed portrait. This could easily be a brief, quiet moment for Ruth, sitting on clubhouse steps, watching the current Yankee batter, torn between placing the ball into the left, center or right eld stands. This is an eye-catching example. Exhibiting four clean, frosty borders which surround a striking portrait placed slightly low of vertical perfection. Perfect print registration (a treat with this card), vibrant ink quality, and slight wear to corner tips completes the notable attributes. The reverse oers a nicely struck name and bio in that unmistakable Goudey green ink. Traditional reverse print ghosting (overkill from the sheet placed under this one) is minimal. For the baseball card fan with the desire to own a piece of history this is a very nice card for this grade level. Starting Bid: $1,000

The card has spot on centering with only a little wear at the corners contributing to the NM/MT grade. The reverse is clean with no detracting features and we would be remiss if we failed to add this is from the scarcer second half of the 48 card series identied by the trivia/factual illustrations surrounding Jimmies full gure depiction. A condition rarity and a prize coup for the Foxx specialist. Starting Bid: $750 80137 1939 Play Ball Ted Williams #92 PSA EX-MT 6. This card and the 39 Play ball lot being oered elsewhere are being made available for the rst time at public auction.

With Baseballs centennial celebration and the opening of the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1939, Gum Inc. capitalized on the nostalgic fervor and included Jackson as part of an extensive roster of long retired baseball greats in their 1940 production. The decision is certainly hailed by modern collectors who have made card #225 the key to the series. A solid example is oered with no creases, wrinkles and only light corner and edge wear.

    80162 1941 Play Ball Ted Williams #14 PSA EX-MT 6. In 1941, the Splendid Splinter managed a feat that has not been matched in the seven decades since.

    80164 1941 Play Ball Hank Greenberg #18 PSA NM+ 7.5. Truly high grade 1941 Play Ball cards are scarce and few pieces from this issue meet the requirements of the most discerning collectors. Quality control, in the areas of centering, print registration and defects often leave much to be desired. The oered card of Detroit Tigers legend Hank Greenberg excels in all these respects. We can only guess to why this card wasnt graded higher. It is a very sharp card and in our opinion it would seem right at home sitting in a NM-MT holder. Starting Bid: $200

Bill Dickey was part of a staggering 14 World Series Championships during his stellar career with the New York Yankees and he never looked better. Starting Bid: $300

    80177 1941 Play Ball Lefty Gomez #72 SGC 84 NM 7 - Pop Two, the Highest Grade Available. One of a pair at the 84 NM 7 level with none higher.

    80178 1945-46 Caramelo Deportivo Martin Dihigo #65 SGC 30 Good 2. To date, 28 total examples submitted to that service there are only two recorded higher. Martin Dihigo was quite possibly the nest all-around player of his or any generation ever to step onto a baseball diamond. First baseman, Third baseman, outelder and even pitcher, Dihigo excelled at every position and to this day is recognized by his peers for his immense talent. He is a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Mexico, Cuba and as of 2006, the ultimate baseball shrine in Cooperstown. The very thin paper stock Caramelo Deportivo or Sporting Caramels were circulated in Cuba in 1945-46 and are among the most signicant foreign baseball sets ever produced. The set was almost entirely overlooked until top talent from the Negro Leagues were inducted into the HoF. This was one of the few sets to have featured Negro League athletes, as they were limited to playing in Latin-America, Mexico or Cuba. As baseball fans, we should all be thankful we have these fragile collectibles to honor them. Dihigo only appears in three series, all from the mid-1940s and this is his rookie card appearance. The oered example is a superb example for the issue. The fragile paper stock does exhibit very light wrinkling/creasing and there is no paper loss on the front or back which is extremely rare for this series. This beauty never made it into the special album designed to house the entire series. The overall eye appeal suggests a solid EX to EX/MT card for the respectable centering and elevated corner quality. A signicant addition to any Hall of Fame Rookies or Negro Leaguers specialty collections. Starting Bid: $500

    80181 1948 Leaf Warren Spahn #32 PSA NM-MT+ 8.5. The rst color issue of the modern era is infamous for the hurried printing quality resulting in a high percentage of cards with poor registration and/or centering and the economic card stock didnt help. Thankfully this impressive example suers very little ill eects of production resulting in a fresh and bold portrait of a young Warren Spahn on this his rookie card appearance. The four corners, all high quality. Surfaces are free of blemish/damage and 99.9% free of stray ink. A terric card to add to ones HoF Rookie collection. Starting Bid: $750 80180 1948 Bowman Stan Musial #36 SGC 88 NM/MT 8. A Stan Musial rookie card of the highest caliber is mandatory for inclusion in any worth-while Hall of Fame collection. Problem is, the cheap (Yes, we said it) porous stock and Bowmans lax quality control in this initial eort make securing a high end prize particularly dicult. This very well centered example is among the nest seen by SGC with only ve cards receiving higher grades. Add a dark portrait of the young Musial and four sharp corners and you get one impressive HoF rookie card. Starting Bid: $600

    80182 1948 Leaf Satchel Paige SP #8 PSA EX 5 (OC). Mr. Paige was forty-two years old when this card appeared and yes, it is his rookie card! In fact, considering that his rst Bowman card appeared during the second of Leafs two seasons of issue, one could rightfully consider this Paiges true rookie. Satchel cracks his endearing smile above the caption of his rarely spoken given name, as if hes aware just how tough this short-print beauty is. A nice card for a PSA EX 5 (OC), the qualier explained by the centering. Touches of wear on the corners are more than acceptable for the grade.

A read of the list of names of the short prints from the 48 Leaf series and two names immediately jump out at you and both are pitchers of the nest caliber.

For those hearty souls wishing to nish the journey of completing the benchmark series Feller ranks high among the subjects that are last acquired. Popularity does account for some of the lack of availability but overall he is oered considerably less often than others. The oered card is about a solid copy as you can nd. The portrait of a smiling Feller rests high and to the right of center. Surfaces are free of any dings, bumps, mishaps, etc.; ink quality is still vibrant; corner quality is more akin to cards in a NM holder. An unquestionably scarce card where the supply will never satisfy the always in-demand collectible. Starting Bid: $500

A strong, nicely centered EX-MT example. Starting Bid: $300

Well also take issue with anybody who claims the Topps rookie is a prettier card, as were of the opinion that Bowmans designs of the early 1950s represent one of the high water marks in cardboard aesthetics. This is particularly true with this stunning example. The chance to say awlessly registered image is a treat not aorded to every oered copy. The nineteen-year old legend in the making, who stands at batting attention before a cloud-dappled sky on this high-grade high-number virtually jumps o the surface. Graded SGC 86 NM+ 7.5, this copy deserve better in our opinion.

A strong example for the grade and more importantly, a visually impressive sight of one of the hobbys key cards. Starting Bid: $3,000

    80291 1954 Topps Hank Aaron #128 SGC 96 Mint 9. No one single action in baseball generates the same awe and jubilation as the home run. With one graceful motion, crowded base paths can be instantly cleared and the outcome of the game irrevocably altered. The man who graces this 54 Topps baseball card amassed 755 of those cherished moments. Moments thankfully made possible thanks to the erasure of the color barrier broken by Jackie Robinson. Though Aarons own assumption of the home run crown came more than a quarter century after Robinson broke the color line, Hammerin Hank was forced to endure everything from racist taunts to death threats as he reeled in the Babe. Although Aarons remarkable 755 career home run total has been surpassed it is with the dreaded but seemingly necessary asterisk that many purist look on with an arched judgmental eyebrow. The accomplishments of Aaron are viewed wholly pure, without stain or grammatical accoutrements. Hank Aaron would rst appear on a trading card in the 1954 Topps series, his talents already showing even at this early stage of this career. Today this rookie card is one of the hobbys most important entries of the post-war era. This exceptional SGC 96 Mint 9 example of his 1954 Topps rookie card is a tting tribute to the skill and bravery of historys most prolic slugger, remaining to this day entirely unchanged from its emergence from a wax pack over a half century ago. Oering rich and vibrant hues, precise registration, a ashy, bright white 3-quarter frame, centering a forgivable sliver low of center and four sharp corner tips are evidence to bolster our claim of a complete absence of surface wear. It is not surprising that this card nds itself near the top of the record books (much like the man himself) with only four at the Mint level with not a single specimen grading higher.

    1954 Wilson Franks Baseball - #1 on the SGC Set Registry.


    The Wilson Franks Baseball series were designed as impressively as the Topps cards of the same year but that is where the similarity ends. They share a level of scarcity and desirability that is unequalled by any other 1950s card promotion. The following SGC-graded single cards (plus a group lot in our sets section) represent the #1 entry on the SGC Set Registry with a collective 78.8 GPA.

    80295 1954 Wilson Franks Ted Williams SGC 88 NM/MT 8 - Highest SGC Grade Known! For a brief span during the spring and summer of 1954, packages of Wilson Franks hot dogs came paired with now highly prized 2-5/8 x 3-3/4 baseball cards, each bearing the likeness of one of the more talented and admired players of the 1950s era. The brief, 24-man roster is spiced up with names like Campanella, Fox and Feller but none generate the reverence and awe of the name Theodore Samuel (Ted) Williams. If you wanted a Ted Williams card in the summer of 1954 your options were limited. Although Topps wisely honored him with both the rst and last card of their standard production, legal issues would limit Teds availability from Bowman, leaving only this severely stunted regionally circulated premium to provide an opportunity to acquire a card of Teddy Ballgame. When you consider that to date only slightly in excess of 325 cards of this issue have passed through SGCs grading service, whereas the Topps issue of the same year has seen thirty-ve times that amount encapsulated, it becomes clear just how unquestionably scarce this beautiful series truly is. This astounding representation of the great Ted Williams takes us one step further toward the pinnacle of the elite, ranking as one of only two such cards to rest at the Near-Mint to Mint level, with not a single card above. The surface is simply awless. Centering is masterful, and the corners as strong as the day it rolled o the presses. The verso is equal to the face in quality and emotional presence. You can rest assured that a 1954 Wilson Franks Ted Williams that tops this one simply may not exist. Of the 35 examples of this treasured portrayal validated by SGC, just two copies proudly bear a SGC 88 NM/MT 8 label. (None has been graded higher.) We could enter into a lengthy round of superlatives for every point of referencelethally pointed corners, full measure of original surface gloss, an incredibly deep full-gure portrait thanks to precise print registration, etc. Our picture is well worth at least the 1,000 words we spare you. This card is undeniably one of the premier gems hobbyists have to pursue. No small testimonial considering no era of card production can compare to the 1950s. Suitable to grace one of the hobbys nest 50s assemblies! Starting Bid: $7,500

This amazing collectible has capitalized on its productions generous dimensions, colors that resonate a kinetic energy, and a clean and thoughtful design to yield one of the hobbys most attering portrayals of Cleveland Indians reballer Bob Feller. The beyond-spectacular preservation quality enjoyed by this showpiece example aside, the Wilson Franks series in lesser, that is to say, most instances starkly illuminates the last fty years-worth of evolution in trading card distribution. Prior to the advent of cards recognition as keepsakes best maintained in attractively uncirculated condition, distributors seemed almost to nd joy in agellating their wares. Cards bounced from production lines, stued into product, constrained in illtting packages all of these circumstances were more often the rule than the exception. And nowhere was this inattention to the prospect of long-term survival more harshly practiced than in the methods employed by Wilson Franks, which placed cards within the greasy grasp for just a single year in 1954. Among the 328 cards from the entire Wilson Franks issue that reside in SGC holders, just one piece -this piece- reigns supreme at the very pinnacle of the releases total census as none has yet to achieve the Gem MT distinction. The next nest copy managed a more than respectable SGC 86 NM+. This Feller card, specically, has garnered the ultimate evaluation for its issue, sharing that ultimate position with no others. Barely handled Wilson Franks cards are traditionally the fuel of wild dreams and aspirations of obsessed hobbyists but we can conrm no hint of disturbance on this remarkable copy. Fellers image is impeccable on the card, and its overall appearance is extremely sharp. An extraordinary Hall of Fame representative from an always-challenging issue! Starting Bid: $3,750

    80381 One of a Kind Early 20th Century Original Hand Drawn Baseball Card Set (539 Total Pieces). In all the years this writer has been involved with the hobby and the game itself, this has to be one of the most amazing presentations I have ever seen. Baseball has served as the inspiration for hundreds of essays, poems, toys, games, songs, plays, movies and of course art, ongoing for 150 years. The game is such a part of our collective subconscious that generations are thrilled by the sound of the crack of the bat one moment and yet in our cheers pay respect to the sacrice and pain of the men who in the middle of war never abandoned and from which the current game has evolved. It is that ingrained passion that inspired Otto Starnitzke to create one of the most amazing labors of love we have ever seen. Starnitzke was a native to Chicago and a life-long Cubs fan and published musician. Seemingly not content with the current card games designed to play baseball on a table top, Otto took ink to thin card stock and illustrated these 539 completely one-of-akind cards designed (we assume) to play out the game he so obviously loved. There are 140 dierent player cards including all of the greats, both famous and infamous, of the era like Joe Jackson, Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Tris Speaker, Napoleon Lajoie, Christy Mathewson, Chief Bender, Roger Bresnahan, Hal Chase, M. Brown, Honus Wagner and yes, Tinker, Evers and Chance. There are 399 additional cards devoted to baseball terms, stats and plays paired with some serious, some comical illustrated interpretations. Dates on the pieces tell us they were created circa 1910-1913, all of them approx. 2-3/16 x 3-1/8 in size. The cards were originally found in his granddaughters attic protected by the 11 x 5 x 2-1/4 Hayleys Chocolates wood box which is also included. An added bonus is an approx. 4 x 5 sepia photo of our baseball fan/musician/artist (seated left playing the mandolin) next to an unnamed musician friend. This is a presentation that transcends the realm of mere sports. They are proof of the inner drive we all possess and are eternally grateful to the chosen few who are emboldened enough to leave historical record of what mattered to them most. Starting Bid: $2,500

    80420 Very Rare 1948 Topps Magic Photos Counter Display Card. Oered is a piece few have seen and even fewer can say they own. This very rare one-color Topps counter or window advertising card warning kids of the impending excitement of a new product where YOU CAN Develop Yourself With Only Water.... Of course they are referring to the Magic Photos series from 1948. We are sure water worked but good ole saliva was probably the catalyst for image development. The 8-1/4 x 12-1/4 sign pictures Joel McCrea as Bualo Bill Cody and the Statue of Liberty and we can guess why one of the numerous sports subjects wasnt used but for only 1-cent, youngster could start their own photo collection. A rare early Topps ad piece and the perfect addition to the high grade complete set we have available elsewhere in this auction. Starting Bid: $200

    80576 1948 Leaf Mal Kutner #14 SGC 88 NM/MT 8. What is certain about the 48 Leaf series is that the inks are bright and the card stock was, shall we say economical. The corner tips wore quickly, needing little handling with the layer of white covering the front surface so susceptible to roughness when cards were cut to size. High-grade examples are scarce in the current marketplace. The pair of NM/MT corners and slightly o-center graphics are combined with two Mint corners and clean surfaces. This one of only three at the 88 NM/MT 8 level with only one higher. Starting Bid: $300

This Leaf Gum card is the rookie appearance by the College HoFer and a betting example at that.

    80581 1948 Leaf Sammy Baugh #22 SGC 96 Mint 9 - Highest Grade Available! One of two examples graded SGC 96 Mint 9 and we wonder if this may be a case of a resubmission. Leaf football cards are as colorful and fascinating as their baseball counterparts but are seen in noticeably lesser quantities. An absolutely, positively stunning example of HoF quarterback Sammy Baughs rookie year appearance in the 1948 Leaf issue. This is one of these cards where words like extraordinary and perfect and astounding ow in your thoughts and go from drama based rhetoric to unquestioned fact. Every element of this beautiful card is crisp and sharp from the front and back surfaces to the rst, second, third and fourth corner tips. The deep, rich colors hypnotize the viewer leaving one to wonder that if given the chance to possess just one football card of any era or of any player, this just might be that one. The 48 Leaf series is infamous for poor centering and mis-aligned print registration that often seems comical. Both critical elements here are put aside by the 45/55 centering and perfect hue alignment. The color scheme gracing the awless white waxy surface treatment leaps at the viewer and is perfectly complemented by the four extremely even sized surrounding borders which have remained a blinding white glow giving a three-dimensional eect rarely experienced elsewhere. The reverse bears a bold print strike and a surface as problem free as the front. A ner copy may never be found. Technical quality and visual presentation combine resulting nothing short of the ultimate in gridiron card collectibles. Starting Bid: $7,500

    80652 Very Rare 1933/34 V288 Hamilton Gum Wax Paper Wrapper. This insanely rare wrapper is the rst we have ever oered and is one of only two we have been able to conrm. While O-Pee-Chee dominated the hockey card market in the 1930s Hamilton Gum did manage one now scarce release under their Puck Gum brand of bubble gum. The rarity of this fragile 5 x 7 piece of wax paper is easily explained by the exchange oer where kids could get a Junior League Hockey Puck in exchange for ten wrappers. The wrapper has light crease beyond the standard circulation folds. There is some slight spot staining but no tearing. An incredibly rare piece that would make for a tremendous addition to a vintage hockey collection. Starting Bid: $250 80653 1933 Sport Kings Howard Morenz #24 PSA NM 7.

A tremendous high end copy that would look just as acceptable nestled under a label with a higher number. Starting Bid: $250

    80654 1933 WWG Ice Kings Happy Day #10 SGC 88 NM/MT 8. This is one of only two example at the NM/MT level with only one grading higher.

    80656 1936 O-Pee-Chee Turk Broda #97 PSA NM-MT+ 8.5 - Pop One of One with None Higher!. There is always a sense of pride when we are able to present to our bidders a new nd of vintage cards, be it a large selection or just a few cards. When the stars all align as they say, the nal result can be a complete surprise not expected by consignor or auction house. We certainly hope we can say that when the dust settles around this absolutely incredible discovery. Now a part of the raried class of the top 1.5% of the recorded 1936 O-Pee-Chee cards is this seemingly pristine copy of HoFer Turk Broda. Series D was a continuation of the 35 series with numbering starting with #97. Broda is that rst card of the series and a condition sensitive nature in the same class as a 52 Pafko and 33 Bengough. The high grade supply will never meet the demand of passionate and condition obsessed hockey specialists. Turk Broda was a key element in the success of the Toronto Maple Leafs. With Broda in the net, Stanley Cup championships were secured ve times including a three-year Hat Trick from 1947-1949. For his eorts, Broda would win a pair of Vezina Trophies and eventually be honored with entry into the Hockey Hall of Fame. A pop one-of-one condition rarity with no known higher grading example! The chances of nding a better copy are akin to winning the lottery just after being struck by lightning for the second time. This 1936 O-Pee-Chee card is as superior in every aspect as youll ever nd. One corner tip after another comes to a razor sharp point; surfaces are smooth as ice with textbook perfect centering. The die-cut stand up portion is completely intact with absolutely no breaks in the delicate die-cut that outlines the full gure portrait of a erce Broda at the ready for the next lightning fast slap shot. This card is scarcely made available at auction in any condition. This is the opportunity to acquire one of the hobbys best. Starting Bid: $10,000

    80657 1936 O-Pee-Chee Howie Morenz #121 SGC 96 Mint 9 - One of Two Conrmed MINT Examples Known! Howie Morenz is the Babe Ruth of Hockey. One of the most sought after names in hockey collecting is the man whose career lasted for 14 seasons, almost all spent with the Montreal Canadians. This is one of his most highly prized card collectibles. He is as close to hockey royalty as there ever will be. His stellar career, untimely retirement and ultimate passing have elevated the man to legendary status. Who could have foreseen when this card appeared that just one year later the NHL would organize an All-Star game to benet the family of the now late superstar. This is one of only two cards to have miraculously survived with barely a sign of ever being touched by human hands and to now be recognized with a 96 MINT 9 label by SGC. The PSA census does not show any example above the near-mint to mint level. With not a single aw of note, this rare Mint 1936 O-Pee-Chee is a betting tribute to one of the most dominant players to ever strap on the skates. For the unbeliever, we will conrm the following: surfaces are without blemish or physical imperfection; corners are razor sharp, the adjective applies to all four and not a stray spec of printers ink to be found. The ultimate copy for the most advanced hockey collection. Starting Bid: $7,500

From his rookie season, Howe quickly dominated his sport and one can only imagine his success in a dierent era. Graphics rest a sliver away from perfection both vertically and horizontally. One corner has some wear at the tip, the three others are all high quality. Regardless of condition or status, this card is to hockey collectors what the 52 Mantle is to baseball fans. An very admirable example from the earliest days of Howes career. Starting Bid: $2,000

    80701 1979/80 O-Pee-Chee Hockey Unopened Wax Box (48 packs) - Gretzkys Rookie Year! Ask any 1,000 hockey card enthusiasts what box from the last 50 years they would want to own and the answer from 999 (because there is always one) will be 1979/80 O-Pee-Chee edition. Do we even need to say why? If so, its the rookie card of all-time great Wayne Gretzky. The 48 unopened, 20-cent wax packs share the same blue border as do the 14 cards which reside in each untouched gem. The series does include HoFers like Gordie Howe (#175) and Bobby Hull (#185) plus numerous other stars and superstars, teams and League Leaders but none compare to card #18, the pinnacle in rookie card appearances. One can only imagine how many possibly Mint condition cards these treasured packs could yield. With the popularity of Gretzky it is safe to say unopened material from this exclusively Canadian series is very scarce and immensely desirable. The roughly 8 x 7 x 2 box does have the top panel separated from the base but still presents well with the forty-eight wax packs presenting at the NM to NM/MT range. Could you resist the urge to open them? This writer certainly couldnt. An incredible addition to any hockey collection. Starting Bid: $2,000

    80822 1966 Topps Comic Book Foldees Complete Set (44), Display Box and Wrapper. The 1966-67 Topps Comic Book Foldees series is quite an odd concept, one that long-time card collector Woody Gelman borrowed from a 19th Century tobacco card set. The cards are 4-3/4 x 2-1/2 tri-panels with diecut perforations and stamped joint impressions that allow for the interchanging of head and/or body sections from one image to another, creating nine dierent possible image combinations on each card! If you wanted to see Superman with the half-torso and legs of Gandhithis was the set for you! The Foldees are very colorful and the center panels feature 44 of the DC Comics heroes and villains. The nature of this set makes unfolded fully intact panels pretty tough to nd. This lot oers the complete 44-card set, a 5-cent wax paper wrapper and an original display box. The brightly colored box presents close to NM with just a few light creases in the top panel and one small area of surface loss, the wrapper presents EX-MT with usual fold lines and the set grades EX/MT to NM with some NM-MT and four lesser. This is a very hard set to complete, let alone at this level of quality. Starting Bid: $150

    80823 1966 Topps Green Hornet Stickers High Grade Complete Set (44) Plus Wrapper. Probably from being distracted by the upcoming debut of the campy Batman TV show, Greenway (Topps) let the license for the same production companys more serious Green Hornet adaptation slip through their ngers. By the time the execs at Topps realized their mistake, their competitor Donruss had already signed for the exclusive rights to issue cards. Legal technicalities allowed Topps to gain exclusive license to issue not cards but stickers with their gum instead. The resulting set proved to be one of the most colorful and attractive of the time. The wrapper grades out at the EX level with normal folds and light creasing. This is a surprisingly high grade complete set of this condition sensitive issue. Highlights include: Graded Cards - PSA GEM MINT 10: 2 cards, #s 19 and 24; PSA MINT 9: 2 cards, #s 21 and 30; PSA NM-MT 8: 1 card, #20; PSA EX 5: 1 card, #40.

    80824 1966 Topps Superman High Grade Complete Set (66) Plus Wrapper.

The wrapper presents at the EX level with the normal folds and light creasing. A total of 6 cards have been graded by PSA. Highlights include: Graded - PSA MINT 9: 2 cards, #s 13 and 20; PSA NM-MT 8: 4 cards, #s 5, 9, 14 and 23. Grades 56% NM to NM/MT, 44% EX to EX/MT (some lesser). Starting Bid: $100

    80825 1966 Topps Superman Counter Display Box and 24 Five-Cent Wax Packs! Oered is a counter display box plus 24 unopened packs of Superman trading cards, issued by Topps in 1966. There certainly is no doubt about the popularity of the 1950s Superman series which aired from 1952-1958, seeing as this series came out some seven years after the show stopped making original episodes. The eye-catching, primary colored box advertising Superman Cards portrays George Reeves as the Man of Steel and oers the added enticement to Watch Superman on T.V. The dicult to nd counter box displays nicely but and has its the top panel separated from the base and one corner split (far left corner in the image), the back panel is creased and bowing. The 5-cent, wax paper packs are gum-less and each still houses ve 46-year old fresh from the factory cards. Each pack has a pair of indents into the right side and judging by the consistent nature they seem to be factory induced. This anomaly may explain why these packs remained untouched for almost half of a century as unopened material from this popular series is quite dicult to nd today. Starting Bid: $300

    80828 1919 Grover Cleveland Alexander & Christy Mathewson Signed Baseball. Two of the greatest pitchers of the Dead Ball Era are likewise among the toughest of prey for autograph hunters, so to encounter both sharing space upon a single horsehide panel is about as shocking a baseball development as this seasons American League wild card chase. This pair shared much more than mastery of the mound and inaugural class Hall of Fame credentials, however, as each was profoundly aected by his recent World War I service. Mathewson had been accidentally gassed during a training exercise in France, the catalyst for the tuberculosis that would ultimately claim his life. Alexander was rendered partially deaf by an exploding shell in France, returning to the United States suering from shell shock and epileptic seizures. Quite possibly this ball dates to an event recognizing their service, or perhaps simply a meeting of the Giants (for whom Mathewson was a coach in 1919) and the Cubs (for whom Alexander pitched). We must report that Mathewsons signature has been expertly enhanced, and his notation below the autograph (likewise enhanced) is interrupted by a loss of the leathers top layer. The Alexander autograph below remains original though, and rates 5/10 with a small divot to the rst letter. The other panels exhibit similar areas of damage to the hide but no other autographs.

    80829 1920 Chicago White Sox Baseball with Six of The Eight Men Out. Perhaps second only to the story of the Babes Called Shot in apocryphal baseball history is that of the meeting of Shoeless Joe Jackson and a young boy on the steps of Chicagos Cook County courthouse on September 29, 1920. Moments earlier, Jackson and pitcher Eddie Cicotte had admitted to a grand jury that the 1919 World Series had been xed, the Cincinnati Reds underdog victory purchased by crooked gamblers. Say it aint so, the boy implored, tugging on the star outelders coat sleeve. Im afraid it is, came Jacksons pained reply. Presented is one of the rarest and most desirable team spheres in the hobby, documenting the last days of Shoeless Joe and his co-conspirators Major League tenure. Six of the notorious Eight Men Out are here, beginning with Jackson himself on the sweet spot of the OAL (Johnson) orb. Rounding out the doomed cast are Cicotte, Risberg, Williams, Weaver and McMullin. The dozen innocent that join: Eddie Collins, Faber, Schalk, Kerr, Gleason, Strunk, McClellan, Jourdan, John Collins, Wilkinson, and two indecipherable autographs. The black fountain pen signatures, including Jacksons, exhibit signs of scattered period enhancements, but they are not fully traced and project at an average strength of 4/10 to 6/10. The precise vintage of the ball is determined by both a vintage White Sox - 1920 notation in an unknown hand and the presence of Amos Strunk, whose rst year of ChiSox service was the conspirators last. An ancient coating of shellac provides the deep amber tone, and the white spots visible in our catalog imagery represent minor chipping from surface wear. It should go without saying that the listed condition concerns must be excused in light of the tremendous rarity and unparalleled historic importance of the ball, which stands as one of the most important and desirable in private hands.

    80830 1923 Christy Mathewson Single Signed Baseball from Braves Opening Day. In the rough and tumble Dead Ball Era of our national pastime, when the sport was populated by brawling drunks and illiterate farmhands, Matty was recognized almost as much for his gentlemanly comportment as he was for his remarkable Hall of Fame abilities. As commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis famously eulogized the fallen baseball hero, He was an inspiration to everybody, and may we have more of his kind. The 373-game winning right-hander autographed this Ocial American League (Johnson) ball just two years before his untimely demise, the delayed result of a World War I gas attack. This early passing, and the eight and a half decades that have since elapsed, have conspired to deny the collecting hobby of all but a meager few autograph exemplars, particularly on the hide of a baseball. In fact, fewer than ve Matty singles have been oered by major auction houses in the past dozen years. The presented example is a red and black stitched ONL model, just like the ones with which the Big Six forged his Cooperstown bronze. His black fountain pen signature adorns the northern panel, projecting at a strength of 6/10 to 7/10. A notation in an unknown hand on the western panel announces Braves Field, April 17, 1923, the Opening Day of the National League season. The newly sworn president of the Braves was almost certainly honored that day, particularly considering the New York Giants team stationed in the visitors dugout for the game. One might even speculate that this was the rst pitch ball. A few scattered scus on the ball suggest this may indeed have been more than a mere souvenir, but even as nothing other than a Matty single, its collecting appeal is enormous in scope.

    80831 1920s Harry Heilmann Single Signed Baseball. Take away Teddy Ballgames historic 1941 campaign and this would be the last man to bat .400, a feat Heilmann accomplished as he claimed the second of four American League batting titles with a .403 tally in 1923. Though the star outelder for the Detroit Tigers ranks twelfth on the Major League career charts with a .342 lifetime average, Heilmann inexplicably earned his Hall of Fame plaque posthumously, a full twenty years after his last at-bat. Former teammate Ty Cobb was instrumental in the enshrinement eorts. This glaring Cooperstown oversight surely contributed to the intense scarcity of available singles, and secures the status of this playing-days model as the king of that tiny supply. Heilmanns side panel black fountain pen signature rates a stellar 8.5/10, with the Ban Johnson stamping of the OAL sphere assuring a vintage no later than 1927. The ball exhibits game use, suggesting the exciting possibility that the ball played some form of signicant role in Heilmanns illustrious career. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $1,000

    80832 Circa 1927 Hall of Famers Signed Baseball with Walter Johnson, Speaker. Sharing the sweet spot of the presented OAL (Johnson) ball are Walter Johnson (6/10) and Tris Speaker (3/10), two members of the 1939 Hall of Fame inaugural class who shared a dugout a single year with the 1927 Senators. Nearby we encounter Goose Goslin (5/10), Rogers Hornsby (3/10) and Nick Altrock (2/10). Barely discernible are Bucky Harris, Roger Bresnahan and Stanley Coveleski. So the theme would appear to be Senators and Giants, an odd pairing for a non-World Series season, but intriguing nonetheless. Condition is admittedly less than ideal, but the talent pool is so deep that its worth jumping in for a swim. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Starting Bid: $200

    80833 Circa 1927 Babe Ruth Single Signed Baseball. The most desirable of Bambino vintage is assured by a pair of physical attributes encountered upon examination of the presented sphere. First, we note that the red and blue stitched OAL baseball bears the presidential stamping of Ban Johnson, whose American League tenure concluded with the 1927 season. Secondly, Ruths 7/10 blue fountain pen sweet spot signature is the quotation-marked variety, and Babe dropped that punctuation in 1928. The ball exhibits potential game use, which makes us dream that this may have been one of the Sultans 714 swats. A splendid representation of the hobbys most essential building block.

    80834 1927 Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig Signed Baseball. True to the Boy Scouts motto, young Dick Theis was prepared when his Iowa scouting troop set out on the trip of a lifetime during the summer of 1927, a journey from his Burlington hometown through the Midwest with stops at Abraham Lincolns birthplace in Springeld, Illinois and Sportsmans Park in the City of St. Louis. The troop traveled in the bed of an open truck, and we have images of the kids peering out over the railing adorned with signage reading Were from Burlington on the Mississippi, and Boy Scouts of America, St. Johns Troop 3, one such image printed on the front page of the Burlington Hawk Eye newspapers Lifestyles section. Theis and the trip to see the Yankees/Browns game are each mentioned within the accompanying article. But our favorite image is an original snapshot of the Babe at the railing of the ballpark, penning his autograph on the presented ball young Dick had carried with him for that very purpose. Ruths sweet spot signature rates a conservative 8/10 on this Rawlings Special League sphere, with Gehrigs equally bold oering appearing on the eastern panel. The only other writing on the ball is an R.T. (for Richard Theis) notation inked well clear of the autographs. The spectacular provenance, ideal Murderers Row vintage and remarkable condition makes this one of the most appealing Ruth/Gehrig duo balls weve encountered, and we expect competition for its ownership will be intense. A 1927 Ruth and Gehrig baseball signed for a Boy Scoutwhat could be more American than that? Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $2,500 80835 Circa 1928 Babe Ruth Single Signed Baseball. The red and blue stitching of this special Harwood League Special and the lower panel stamping advertising the Ford Safety Glass Exhibit, St. Louis on Parade lead us to estimate the date of this signing around the 1928 season, as the two-tone stitching was very popular during the era and Henry Ford was widely promoting his new innovation in auto glass at the time. Its also interesting to note that the stamping reading St. Louis on Parade, notes the town where Ruth and the Yankees would avenge their 1926 World Series loss to the Cardinals with a four-game October 1928 sweep. Perhaps it was even the Babes famous 1926 Series home run that cleared the roof of Sportsmans Park and smashed through the window of an auto dealership across the street that inspired Fords innovation. Of course, all of this is merely suppositionthe tremendous quality of the autograph is nothing but empirical fact. Even a rating of 9/10 would not do justice to the incredible boldness of the blue fountain pen ink from baseballs greatest star, elevating this piece to the ultimate heights of collecting appeal. The ball itself is lightly and uniformly toned, presenting marvelously. A piece for collectors demanding only the nest. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $3,750

    80836 Circa 1929 Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig & Miller Huggins Signed Baseball. The beginning of Ernest Barnards American League presidency in 1928 and Yankees manager Miller Huggins untimely death in the nal days of the 1929 baseball season allow for just a narrow window of time that could have spawned this rare and highly desirable sphere. While the hobby always clamors for baseballs signed by the two great sluggers of the Murderers Row-era Yanks, the addition of their diminutive Hall of Fame manager ratchets up the appeal considerably. Ruth appears in 6/10 black fountain pen ink on the sweet spot, with Gehrig a point or two lighter on the southern panel, as is Huggins to the east. Any shortcomings must be overlooked in light of the supreme rarity and relevance however, this being perhaps the most coveted Yankees trio ball in the hobby. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.

    80837 Late 1920s Babe Ruth Single Signed Baseball. Our consignor explains that this baseball was acquired by his father in Portland, Oregon where Ruth was playing, suggesting strongly that the sphere dates to the famous Bustin Babes vs. Larrupin Lous barnstorming tour that provided the western states with a chance to see baseballs greatest stars up close and personal. The Babe occupies his standard sweet spot position on the non-ocial ball, his black fountain pen ink rating 4/10 due to some surface wear. A solid example of the hobbys fundamental building block.

    80838 Late 1920s Eddie Collins Signed Baseball. A rare but imperfect single signed Collins ball launched some major reworks in the Heritage Sports April 2011 auction, commanding just over $22,700 in spirited bidding and indicating just how tough and desirable is the signature of this inaugural class Hall of Famer. This sphere is undoubtedly a prettier model, but we must report that the ball has undergone professional restoration to remove other signatures that once joined Collins All that is left now is an 8.5/10 black fountain pen sweet spot signature, provided on the supremely desirable medium of an OAL (Johnson) ball. Collins is tough on any ball, and his sweet spot positioning here makes this one the perfect addition to your Hall of Fame single collection. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.

    80839 1929 Jimmie Foxx Signed Baseball. From 1921 through 1928, the New York Yankees had failed to claim the American League ag just twice, so the three-year reign of the Philadelphia Athletics that began in 1929 came as no small shock for the baseball world. Presented is a sweet spot signature from one of the key gures in that transfer of power, dated to just weeks after he led the Mack Men to their rst World Championship since the days of Plank and Baker. The rst man to join the Babe in the 500 Home Run Clubhouse rates a solid 7/10 on this red and blue stitched OAL ball (presumably Johnson, though stamping has faded), notated 10-28-29 in an unknown hand on the northern panel. While any Foxx single is cause for celebration, this one dating to the As Championship and Foxx rst thirty-plus home run campaign sets it apart from that narrow supply. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Starting Bid: $1,500

    80840 1929-31 Babe Ruth Signed Baseball. The unique stamping of this OAL (Barnard) ball allows us to pinpoint the possible vintage of the highly collectible sphere to the second half of a six-season span in which the Bambino topped all American League long ball artists, his longest leadership streak. While the Babes 6/10 sweet spot signature presents as a single, we must report very faded writing on the western panel which appears to be other autographs. Wear on the ball suggests game use, opening up the intriguing possibility that the sphere may have met with Ruths bat as well as his pen. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.

    80841 Circa 1930 Jimmie Foxx Signed Baseball. Only Mel Ott is a tougher target for the collector of singles from the illustrious 500 Home Run Club, but either will boast a heavy ve-gure price tag for a solo sphere as pretty as this one. Professional restoration establishes this oering as the next best thing, skillfully eliminating all signs of the autographs that once joined Double X so that his 9+/10 black fountain pen signature stands alone. The Ocial American ball has likewise shed its presidential stamping, but the red and blue stitching assures a vintage no later than 1933. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.

Ruth takes sweet spot position on this Ocial American League ball (likely Harridge, but presidential stamping is illegible) in 8.5/10 blue ballpoint ink, with Gehrig equally bold on the western panel. Hammerin Hank Aaron, the man who assumed Ruths career crown, appears in 9+/10 ink on the opposing sweet spot, with Banks present on a side panel once in 7/10 ink then again in 9+/10 blue sharpie. The ball is quite dirty but none of the signatures are aected, indicating the ball was almost certainly used in a Depression-era Yankees game before its presentation to the rst two signers.

    80843 Circa 1930 Babe Ruth Single Signed Baseball. Its a signature so bold the center elder could read it if the ball was set down upon home plate. The Bambinos black fountain pen autograph rates a solid 9/10 under a slightly crazed coating of shellac which deserves much of the thanks for the impressive survival of Ruths essential signature. The Amateur League ball exhibits moderate toning and a degree of handling wear, but our catalog imagery should properly indicate that the aesthetics remain compelling. Without shellac and placed upon an ocial ball, this signature would be comparable to that of a $50,000 model, so we expect no shortage of interest in this oering. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.

    80844 Circa 1930 Rabbit Maranville Single Signed Baseball. Soon after having been named manager of the 1925 Cubs, he made his rounds through a Pullman car dumping water on sleeping players heads and bellowing, No sleeping under Maranville management, especially at night! Despite his irreverent nature, the tiny inelder is remembered as one of the eras top talents, earning a Hall of Fame plaque for his eorts. Sadly, that day came months after his passing in January of 1954, limiting the availability of his important autograph to the collecting hobby. This example puts most other from that small supply to shame, Maranvilles unpersonalized sweet spot signature registering at a marvelous 8.5/10 in fountain pen ink. The Princeton League ball that serves as its home is modestly and evenly toned, enhancing the vintage avor. A true hobby rarity for the discerning collector. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA.

    80845 Circa 1930 Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb & Tris Speaker Signed Baseball. One was the reigning Home Run King. Another the Hit King. Speaker remains the career leader for doubles to this day. All it needs is Wahoo Sam for career triples, but instead well have to make do with this triumvirate of legendary batsmen. The Babe occupies his preferred sweet spot position with an oversized 5/10 oering while his ery nemesis Cobb signs even larger to the south in equally bold ink. Speaker to the north may be a point lighter than his buddies but is still readily legible, displaying nicely. Ball is a National Amateur Baseball Federation model.

    80846 Circa 1930 Jimmie Foxx Single Signed Baseball. Only Mel Ott tops Double-X for rarity when it comes to the illustrious 500 Home Run Club, and this example will ll that empty space on the trophy shelf quite well. Foxx black fountain pen sweet spot signature has mellowed slightly with age, but still projects at a very conservative 6/10. The Ocial League ball that serves as its home is moderately and evenly toned with some inconsequential spotting near the signature, with the black and red stitching eectively mimicking the Ocial National League balls of the era. A more than respectable representation of a ball appearing on many a hobbyists wish list. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $1,000

    80847 1932 Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig Signed Baseball Fouled O by Ruth. A charming notarized letter of provenance from the family of this spheres original owner reads, in part: The ball has been a legend in our family for as long as I can remember. Specically, after Spring Training and on their way North to begin the 1932 baseball season, the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Yankees both stopped o in Memphis Tennessee to play an exhibition game against each other at Russword Park. It was the rst professional game of its kind that my Father ever attended and it became even more memorable to him when, during the game, Babe Ruth hit a foul ball into the stands that my Father caught. After the game, my Dad went down to the eld and asked both Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig to please autograph his baseball which they kindly did. This is that very baseball. The Harwood Ocial League Ball perfectly mimics an OAL model with its red and blue stitching, with the Babe occupying his standard sweet spot position in 7/10 black fountain pen ink. Gehrig is to the east, a point bolder. An unknown hand has penned a 1932 notation. A particularly appealing example of the hobbys most popular duosigned ball. Letter of provenance from family.

The Bambinos black fountain pen ink signature occupies the sweet spot with marvelous 9/10 boldness, essentially unchanged from the date of its application. The ball is non-ocial, but its duo-tone stitching eectively mimics Ocial spheres of the Babes playing days.

    80852 1930s Lou Gehrig Signed Baseball. It has been said that for every one hundred Babe Ruth singles, youll nd one solo Lou Gehrig, and even that may be overstating the supply of the latter. After all, Gehrig was quoted as saying, Im not a headline guy. I know that as long as I was following Ruth to the plate I could have stood on my head and no one would have known the dierence. Though this is more of an illustration of Gehrigs tremendous modesty than a tongue-in-cheek statement of fact, it is certainly undeniable that Lou just did not receive a fraction of the autograph requests that Ruth did, leaving collectors almost seven decades after his passing to scrap for the scant few available singles. Here we present a particularly attractive alternative, a ball once multi-signed but restored to leave only Gehrigs writing behind. He oers a rather lengthy inscription before his all-important autograph, writing, To Paul, With Kindest Personal Regards, Cordially, Lou Gehrig. The fountain pen ink survives at a consistent 7/10 level throughout. The non-ocial ball exhibits some mild wear and toning, but this only minimally aects the signed panel, and to little distraction.

    80853 1936 Arky Vaughan Single Signed BaseballThe Only Known Example. The Heritage reputation for unearthing exceedingly rare single signed baseballs swells yet again with the presentation of this specimen from the Hall of Fame shortstop for the Pirates and Dodgers, whose drowning death at age forty in 1952 precipitated a modern dearth of autographs in any format. This, in fact, is the very rst single signed baseball presented by a major auction house of which we are aware, as our database of the past twelve years comes up empty. Vaughans black fountain pen ink traverses two panels and the sweet spot, reading Arky Vaughan, Aug. 10, 1936, Pittsburgh 4, New York 3. The signature rates a technical 4/10 while the writing is a couple points stronger, and the leather of the ball (likely an ONL model but having shed its visible stamping) is toned and slightly weathered, but these condition concerns must be forgiven in respect of the intense scarcity. The wait for the next one could be another decade or more, possibly forever. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $1,000

It took just one game for the Babe to consecrate his House with a homer, but fteen years for a pitcher to tame its massive connes with a no-hit performance. It came in a twelve to nothing drubbing of the visiting Cleveland Indians on August 27, 1938 as the Yanks were turning onto the nal straightaway en route to another World Championship. Pearson autographs the eastern panel and we have ever reason to believe it is his printing just below that announces No Hit Game, Aug. 27, 1938, N.Y. vs. Cleveland. Gehrigs 9/10 autograph claims the sweet spot of the OAL (Harridge) ball. Other signers include Rung, Dickey, DiMaggio (3/10), Gordon and Henrich. Unless otherwise noted, all signatures rate 7/10 or better. This is the rst game ball weve ever encountered from this historic Bronx occasion, so serious Yankees collectors should take note.

It has been said that for every one hundred Babe Ruth singles, youll nd one solo Lou Gehrig, and even that may be overstating the supply of the latter. After all, Gehrig was quoted as saying, Im not a headline guy. I know that as long as I was following Ruth to the plate I could have stood on my head and no one would have known the dierence. Though this is more of an illustration of Gehrigs tremendous modesty than a tongue-in-cheek statement of fact, it is certainly undeniable that Lou just did not receive a fraction of the autograph requests that Ruth did, leaving collectors six decades after his passing to scrap for the scant few available singles. Here we encounter a specimen which ups the ante even further, supplying rare sweet spot positioning atypical of a man whose humility usually drew him to the side panel even on an otherwise blank ball. His black fountain pen ink survives with a conservative 6/10 boldness, unmistakable and stylishly scripted. The red-stitching of the OAL (Harridge) ball that serves as the ideal medium assures post-1933 production, as Gehrig was stepping out of the shadow of the Babe where he had labored for a decade. A marvelous rarity far too often absent from even the nest private collections. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $3,750

    80857 Circa 1940 Babe Ruth Single Signed Baseball. A signature much like the man who penned itbold, Yankee blue, and larger than life. This exceptional Ocial League ball represents the very bedrock of the sports collecting hobby, and no serious hobbyist could aord to be without one. The sphere remains much as it did when the Babe held it in his history-making hands, with the passing years toning the leather to a creamy vanilla hue, the boldness of the ink all but unchanged over the passing decades, easily a 9/10. If it was ever in your mind to own a Babe Ruth single signed baseball, then the time to buy it is now.

    80858 Circa 1940 Mel Ott & Joe DiMaggio Signed Baseball. Were undecided on which of the unique factors of this ball provides the greater appeal. Some might argue that the rare combination of star Big Apple sluggers Ott and DiMaggio is the big draw, while others would insist that the placement of Ott alone on a side panel, allowing display as a tough and valuable single, is what makes it a winner. The Giants legend appears at an average strength of 7/10, while Joltin Joe trails behind at 2/10. Dolf Camilli (8/10) and one other unidentiable signature round out the roster on the ONL (Frick) ball. Ball exhibits some scattered handling wear but still presents nicely. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.

    80859 Circa 1940 Paul Waner Signed Baseball. Big Poison is one of the toughest Major Leaguers to live past the Second World War for collectors of Hall of Fame singles, and while this Ocial Nebraska State League ball does bear two other autographs on its hide, Waner convincingly presents as a single even without professional restoration. Heritage auctioned a genuine single in April for over $15,000, so this becomes a mighty attractive alternative for the savvy collector. Rudy York and Jack Price are the other passengers on this orb.

The Bambinos black fountain pen ink survives with remarkable 9+/10 boldness on the sweet spot of the provided OAL (Harridge) ball, the ink just as dark as the day it was applied. The enormous visual appeal of the essential relic is immediately apparent, and a few small nicks to the horsehide and the fading Harridge stamping do nothing to undermine the issue. A couple of small at spots at the north and south poles of the ball are the result of storage in a display case, but youll only notice them if you seek them out. Our catalog imagery will tell the story best, and that story is High-grade Ruth single. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $3,750

Cobb rates 7/10, DiMaggio perhaps 5/10. Other names include Lefty ODoul, Art Garibaldi, Sam Gibson, Floyd Newkirk, Bert Cole and Larry Woodall. These range from 3/10 to 7/10 in strength. Of course its the unusual pairing of two of the games greatest batsmen that makes this one a winner though, and their positioning together on a side panel is a true stroke of luck.

Particularly tough in single signed format, Greenberg provides the next best thing here, a former 1941 Detroit Tigers team signed ball professionally restored to provide the appearance of an impossible vintage single.

Widely considered the most important sports lm of all time, the Lou Gehrig biopic featured a tantalizing convergence of stars from the diamond and silver screen joined to honor the fallen Iron Horse. This ONL (Frick) sphere is one of the few known to have been birthed upon the set of that lm, and the rst weve encountered mounted on a Compliments of Christy Walsh/Pride of the Yankees blotter, indicating that the ball was a gift from the pioneer sports agent whose star clients included Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. The former appears on the balls side panel, while the widow of the latter adorns the sweet spot with a bold yet hearbreaking brief inscription and autograph in 10/10 ink. Joining the Babe (8/10) on the southern panel are former Yankees teammate Bill Dickey and Academy Award nominee Gary Cooper, each rating 6/10 on the spheres lightly toned hide. Completing the roster of signers are director Sam Wood, producer Sam Goldwyn, actor Walter Brennan and ballplayer Babe Herman, each rating 8/10 or better.

Presented is a stunning and rare early-career single which competes for the title of Finest Jackie Robinson Single Known to Exist. We begin with the ideal medium, the ONL (Frick) model baseball that greeted Robinson upon his groundbreaking Dodgers debut. The ball maintains a gorgeous creamy vanilla tone with bold stamping. Robinsons side panel signature is unpersonalized, and rates a staggering 9+/10, the autograph as bold as the day it was applied. A notation in an unknown hand dates the ball on the sweet spot to Aug. 29, 1948, a day the Bums took both halves of a doubleheader at Sportsmans Park, where Robinson encountered the ugliest protests while traveling with the Dodgers in the early years.

    80875 The Finest Shoeless Joe Jackson Signed Baseball on Earth. It was a story that sounded too good to be true when rst reported to us by the son of Dick Bouknight, remembered in baseball history as the King of Swat of the Appalachian League before a tour of WWII duty interrupted what seemed a probable path to the Majors. Upon his return to the States, Bouknight resumed his baseball career as both a player and manager in the Tri-State League, which in those days included the Greenville Spinners, representatives of Shoeless Joe Jacksons South Carolina hometown. While the younger Bouknight admits his father rarely spoke of his baseball days, he does recall being shown this ball as a boy, his pop expressing how he had approached Jackson for an autograph, and how slowly the functionally illiterate Black Sox conspirator worked the pen as he wrote. Today Jacksons side panel autograph survives without a hint of its six decades of age, a perfect 10/10 rating not an overstatement of the facts. Directly opposite Jackson, in the same bold blue ink, we nd contemporary legend Cy Young, whose autograph lls the full panel of this Ocial Tri-State League sphere. Three other signatures join this iconic pair in black ink, most notably Ben Paschal, who managed a North Carolina semi-pro team in the years following his service to the Murderers Row era New York Yankees. Even the most casual baseball autograph collector is well aware of just how rare is the autograph of the fabled Shoeless Joe. That rarity increases exponentially when narrowed to horsehide examples, and that fact should not be lost due to the appearance of two within this Signature auction. Lightning does occasionally strike twice, but you can rest assured it will never ash nearly so brightly as with the representation oered here. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.

The manager of the 1952 and 1953 National League Champion Brooklyn Dodgers likely autographed this OAL (Harridge) ball during his tenure of service to the Washington Senators, his single foray into the Junior Circuit during Harridges presidential rule. His blue ink sweet spot signature registers at a strength of 9/10, aided in part by a vintage coating of shellac. A second signature is hidden directly opposite, so discreet that we didnt even notice it at rst. This is as close to a Dressen single as you can get without going all the way.

    80877 1955 Cy Young Single Signed Baseball Presented to Woody Hayes Son. Its a little known fact that the legendary coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes was a center for the Newcomerstown High School football team in the Ohio village where Cy Young spent the nal years of his life. Despite a forty-six year age dierence, the two shared a twenty-year friendship that ended only with Youngs death in 1955. Just a few months before Young passed, Hayes brought his nine-year old son Steven to the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies for Joe DiMaggio and Frank Baker, where the boy was introduced to a man his father described as the greatest pitcher of all time. Presented is the younger Hayes memento of that brief encounter, an Ocial American Association sphere bearing one of the career victory leaders nal autographs. Youngs arthritic scripting rates a stellar 9/10, and the ball is notated Cooperstown, NY, July 25, 1955 in young Stevens hand. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication.

    80879 1950s Dwight D. Eisenhower Single Signed Baseball. He was one of the most inuential gures in twentieth century American history, riding the groundswell of public support earned from his position as Supreme Commander of the D-Day invasion force to two terms in the Oval Oce. While his autograph is coveted by millions who still like Ike, the appearance of his signature on a baseball sets this oering high above the rest. The collecting of Presidential single signed baseballs draws hobbyists not scared o by a challenge, and that challenge grows signicantly with each subsequent step backwards in time. Eisenhowers side panel signature rates 7/10 on the presented ONL (Frick) ball, likely acquired at an Opening Day celebration where the President tossed the rst pitch. A splendid keepsake from truly Happy Days in baseball and America at large. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $1,000

    80880 Circa 1956 Emmett Kelly Single Signed Baseball. His entertainment career began as a trapeze artist in 1923, but Kelly would become famous as Weary Willie, a hobo clown who soon became the most recognizable gure in the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus. From 1942 through 1955 Kelly traveled with the big top, but famously left the show in 1956 to serve as the mascot Bum of the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team. One would suspect that this ONL (Giles) ball dates to that period. The famous clown provides a 9+/10 blue ink side panel inscription, Best Wishes from Emmett Kelly, on this apparently game used sphere, establishing it as the nest of its rare breed. A marvelous addition to any serious Brooklyn Dodgers collection. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $375

    80882 1960 Ty Cobb Single Signed Baseball. It was the Peachs nal Christmas eve of his life when he autographed this non-ocial ball for a fan, providing a blue ink side panel inscription reading, To Ralph Crutcheld from Ty Cobb, 12/24/60. The ball remains marvelously white and clean, providing solid contrast for the writing which has mellowed over the years to a 6/10 level. A solid representation from the rst man honored in the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $750

    80881 1959 Harry S. Truman Single Signed Baseball. Six years after returning to his hometown at the close of his Presidential term, our nations thirty-third Commander in Chief autographed this OAL (Harridge) ball for a young admirer. Over a half century later it survives as possibly the nest of its breed, the sweet spot inscription Harry S. Truman, 2-27-59, Independence, Mo. displaying with stunning 10/10 black ink boldness. Our catalog image will display the start of a handwritten Harry Truman from the original owner on the northern panel, an admittedly redundant attribution applied in blue ballpoint. It causes little distraction, however, from the booming presence of this tough Presidential single. Precertied by PSA/DNA. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $500

    80883 1950s-60s National League MVPs Multi-Signed Baseball with Clemente. Theme balls are all the rage now in the collecting hobby, but the compilation of 500 home run hitters and perfect game pitchers is a relatively new phenomenon. The original owner of the presented ONL (Giles) ball was the Abner Doubleday of this trend, and here we present Exhibit A. Each appearing upon his own side panel, four Senior Circuit standouts provide an autograph and the date of his MVP award. Best, of course, is the tough Clemente, who adds 1966 to his 8.5/10 blue ink signature. Rounding out the cast are Don Newcombe (1956), Frank Robinson (1961) and Ken Boyer (1964). Boyer is 6/10, the others 9/10. The ball exhibits some minimal foxing but presents very well. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $500

    80884 Circa 1960 Jimmie Foxx Single Signed Mini Baseball. While Foxx resounding successes on the diamond earned him Cooperstown immortality, the story changed dramatically once the star slugger hung up his spikes, battling unemployment, poverty and a nasty drinking problem throughout his post-baseball years. This diminutive little sphere, slightly larger than a golf ball, was a souvenir from his short-lived eatery, as its Jimmy Foxx Restaurant stamping indicates. Foxx made one patrons night by autographing the sweet spot in 8/10 blue ink, creating what would easily be a $20,000+ single at standard issue dimensions. An intriguing rarity, and a unique opportunity to ll that empty spot in your 500 Home Run or Hall of Fame single collection. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication.

    80886 1963 Roberto Clemente Signed Portrait Baseball. Presenting as a 1963 Pittsburgh Pirates team signed baseball for the majority of its forty-eight year history, the listed ONL (Giles) ball was recently transformed into the beauty you see before you, professionally stripped of all signatures but the Hall of Fame outelders and adorned with a skilled portrait on the southern panel. Clementes sweet spot positioning was surely the inspiration for this transformation, and his blue ballpoint oering rates a solid 8/10. Only the most eagle-eyed of hobbyists will be able to distinguish this one from a genuine Clemente single, which would bring $10,000+ in comparable condition. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.

This superstar southpaw was a key ingredient in Connie Macks second great dynasty in the late 1920s and early 1930s, and pitched the nal game of his Hall of Fame career for the Boston Red Sox the day that Ted Williams elevated his 1941 batting average to .406. Here we nd his bold (9/10) black ink signature on the sweet spot of a non-ocial sphere. Despite living almost thirty years beyond his 1947 Hall of Fame induction, Grove is rarely seen in this format so bidders should pay close attention. It may be a while before a comparable specimen makes its way to the auction block. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication.

The ringleader of the historic Gashouse Gang of 1934, Dean was once quoted as saying, Anybody whos ever had the privilege of seeing me play knows that I am the greatest pitcher in the world. While some might disagree with this assessment, theres certainly no question that Ol Diz is well deserving of his Cooperstown plaque, and that any autograph collection would be the better for the addition of this Ocial Western Carolina League ball, sporting a 9/10 side panel signature. The ball exhibits light, even toning and presents wonderfully. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $300

    80885 Circa 1960 Charles Red Rung Single Signed Baseball. A very tough single from the New York Yankees Hall of Fame hurler who shared a dugout with Ruth, Gehrig and DiMaggio during his Bronx service. But while the sluggers were swarmed by autograph seekers, the same wasnt true of this red-headed hurler, whose population of singles is dwarfed by each, even the rare Iron Horse. Posthumously honored by the Yanks in 2004 with a Monument Park plaque, Rung applied a 9+/10 black ink signature decades earlier to the sweet spot of the provided Energizer League Ball. The original recipients handwritten notation listing Rungs career stats is applied directly opposite the signature and remains invisible upon display. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.

    80889 Mid-1960s Early Apollo Astronauts Signed Baseball with Grissom. Extraordinary high-grade sphere derives from the personal collection of Major Leaguer Gene Oliver, who was fascinating by the burgeoning space program and took every opportunity to visit the NASA compounds in Florida and Houston when his schedule allowed. His widows included letter of provenance describes a personal friendship with Gus Grissom, the rarest of the four autographs on this ball, and how upset her husband had been when Grissom perished in a 1967 training accident. Grissoms blue ink signature presents as a single on this ONL (Giles) ball, though further exploration reveals the trio of Alan Shepard, Scott Carpenter and Wally Schirra, each applied in the same faultlessly bold blue ink. A truly stellar keepsake, in more ways than one. Letter of provenance from Marilyn Oliver. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $500 80890 1960s Dizzy & Day Dean Dual-Signed Baseball. Just the sound of their names is enough to inspire a smile, but the emotion grows exponentially for those few who can remember their exploits as the top aces for the 1934 St. Louis Cardinals, best remembered today as the World Championship Gashouse Gang. They share side panel space on the presented Little League ball, Dizzy and Da y rating 8/10 and 6/10 respectively in blue ballpoint ink. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA.

Check the PSA/DNA database and youll nd a population of one for Mint 9 singles from the rst Babe buster. This is it. The ball takes no shortcuts en route to the Championship either, as this is actually a playing-days model, applied to the ONL (Giles) model baseball that bade farewell to Rajah with the 1968 St. Louis Cardinals, and not a post-career model. Remarkably, the ball remains as white as a supermodels smile, and the blue ballpoint side panel inscription, Best Always, Roger Maris, is likewise beyond reproach. We see time and time again that the top-condition rarities serve as the best investments, and we dont see this Maris ball giving up its crown any time soon. Full grading LOA from PSA/DNA, Mint 9.

A true blue Dodger, Hodges spent close to two decades of his life in service of the squad on both coasts before closing out his career as a player for the new Mets franchise, and later as their manager. Yet despite this long tenure on the Major League Baseball diamond, singles from this fan favorite are few and far between. We oer here a nice example from the small available supply, a side panel inscription reading, Best Wishes, Gil Hodges.

Almost a half century later, Gorgeous George autographed this baseball for a fan, applying his blue ballpoint ink signature to the sweet spot and March 9, 1970 to the panel just above. The Ocial Tri-County League ball exhibits scattered foxing, but this remains clear of the all-important autograph. All writing is 9/10. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA.

    80895 Circa 1970 Thurman Munson Signed Baseball. The most gorgeous Munson single signed baseball on earth? Well, almost. Full disclosure: this ball began life as an early 1970s partial Yankees team ball, and professional restoration has removed all signatures but the future Captains, leaving Munsons blue ballpoint oering to stand alone in its 9+/10 side panel glory. Its home is the ideal medium for the tragic catchers autograph, an Ocial American League baseball from the Joe Cronin presidency. Munson is one of the toughest singles of the sixteen retired jersey numbers honored in Monument Park. Some minor foxing on the opposite side from the autograph will be invisible upon display.

    80897 1970s Roger Maris Single Signed Baseball. I never wanted all this hoopla, Maris once explained. All I wanted is to be a good ball player and hit twenty-ve or thirty homers, drive in a hundred runs, hit .280 and help my club win pennants. I just wanted to be one of the guys, an average player having a good season. Any dreams of relative anonymity were ended by his October 1, 1961 blast which made him the most controversial Home Run King until Hank Aaron took that title for his own successful assault on the Babe.

This is particularly true of single signed baseballs, so we expect strong interest in this ne example, boasting an inscription applied to the side panel of a Worth Ocial League ball.

Catal is considered the leading source for quality Mantle signed goods, and this OAL (MacPhail) sphere should be considered particularly desirable for its provenance. Mantles sweet spot signature is a awless 9+/10, as is his M&M buddy Roger Maris on the southern panel. The ball itself exhbits some modest toning, but the signatures are unaected.

    80914 1874 Alexander Cartwright Handwritten & Signed Check/Promissory Note. A June 3, 1953 act of the United States Congress ocially declared Alexander Joy Cartwright the inventor of the modern game of baseball, the conclusion of years of work on behalf of a small group of historians to counter Major League Baseballs assertion that it had been Abner Doubleday. Cartwright is recognized as the founder of the rst baseball team, establishing the distance between bases, and designating an inning as three outs. While the true Father of Baseball might always be a point of debate, theres no disputing the scarcity and tremendous desirability of the oered lot, one of only a handful of personal checks from Cartwright known to survive to this day. It derives from his adopted home of Hawaii, where Cartwright moved in 1849 after he headed west for the California gold rush and kept right on going. The check is entirely handwritten with no pre-printed text, and establishes a payment of $1240 to be rendered eight months in the future with no interest due. Cartwrights signature appears on the opposing side of the 3x7.5 document, where he writes Honolulu Sep 8 1874, Receipt AJ Cartwright for c/o Mr. Paiko, Nine hundred and thirty-four dollars as full payment & interest. Since most of the Cartwright material actively traded and attributed to him are, in fact, letter-press copies, true handwritten documents as this are incredibly scarce and desirable, and seldom oered. This is a rare opportunity to bring an essential, seminal autograph into your baseball collection. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $2,000

    80916 1909 Detroit Tigers Team Signed Album with Cobb, Jennings. Intriguing little autograph album begins a little uninspiringly, with signatures from various members of the Department of the Interior, improves a bit with the autograph of Sam Anderson, Champion middleweight wrestler of the world, then nally hits the jackpot. Flipping from the beginning we rst encounter a 10/10 black ballpoint ink signature from Hall of Fame manager Hugh Jennings, dated Sept. 22, 1909 in his hand, just over two weeks before his club would face o with Honus Wagners Pittsburgh Pirates in one of the most noteworthy World Series in history. A single page ip reveals his team, eighteen 9/10 pencil signatures applied on the same date, stacked on facing pages for ideal display. Crawford and Cobb are side by side, and joined by the likes of McIntyre, Moriarty, Bush, Stanage, Jones, Willett, Speer and more. Team signed material from the rst decade of the twentieth century is all but non-existent, and this high-grade relic captures the most desirable of targets. A true treasure for the Dead Ball Era collector. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $500

    80921 1913 Christy (Christopher) Mathewson Signed Check for Pitching in a Pinch, PSA NM-MT 8. A brilliant and distinguished pitching career that installed him as fourth on the all-time pitching victories chart made his autograph essential, and his early death in 1925 made it exceedingly rare. But while any signature from Big Six is cause for collecting celebration, an example such as this is a true breed apart. Issued by G.P. Putnams Sons for forty-seven dollars, this August 3, 1913 check is clearly payment for Mattys authorship of Pitching in a Pinch, which was distributed by the leading publisher. The New York Giants star hurler follows banking protocol with his endorsing signature on the checks backside, signing with the Christopher Mathewson format that matches the publishers handwritten payee. Not only is this an extraordinarily rare autograph variation, but it is rendered in stunningly bold black fountain pen ink which the graders at PSA/DNA rather stingily assigned a NM-MT 8 rating. The check exhibits vertical creases from folded storage and some paper loss on verso, but these issues remain well clear of the all-important Mathewson signature. The check is encapsulated in a PSA/DNA NM-MT 8 holder, and is accompanied by a VG-EX example of Mathewsons book. Encapsulated by PSA/DNA, NM-MT 8. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication.

    80922 1924 Ty Cobb Handwritten & Signed Letter Regarding World Series. While the Georgia Peach was quite generous with his correspondence during his retirement years, the availability of playing-days letters remains comparatively minuscule. This is a particularly attractive example of such, penned on Detroit Tigers team letterhead and referencing an impending Fall Classic that would gain immortality for providing Walter Johnson his sole World Championship. The text, in its entirety: Sept-23-24, Dear HelenI am going to be in Washington soon so write me here c/o Baseball Club at once your friends name and address telephone number etc. for I might be there during series and have an extra ticket and will take her to game. Best to all pardon haste, Ty. All writing is in Cobbs hand and rates 9+/10. Page exhibits original mailing folds and appears to have been trimmed at lower edge, but otherwise presents perfectly.

Alexander shakes hands with fellow Cardinal Rogers Hornsby in this marvelous 8x10 photo dating to the era of their 1926 World Championship season. A black fountain pen signature from the former, Grover C. Alexander, survives with impressive 7/10 boldness. Alexander signed photos are particularly scarce, and this unpersonalized specimen further amplies the collecting appeal. The image itself exhibits tack holes at the upper corners and some minor edge wear, but the image still presents very well and will assume almost a NRMT appearance when properly matted and framed.

    80929 Circa 1930 Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig Signed Album Page. They didnt get along, reported fellow Murderer on the Row, Tony Lazzeri, Lou thought Ruth was a big mouth and Ruth thought Gehrig was cheap. They were both right. Despite a chilly personal relationship for much of their time together in pinstripes, there has never been a more eective three-four combination in Major League history than the Bambino and the Iron Horse, who share eternity on the provided 2.5x4.25 album page. Ruth appears in 9+/10 black fountain pen ink, with Gehrig equally strong in pencil below. All you need is your favorite photo of the pair and the phone number of a good framing store. The rest is trophy room history. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $1,000

    80932 Circa 1930 Lou Gehrig Signed Blank Business Card. His greatest record doesnt show in the book, noted New York Times sportswriter John Kieran. It was the absolute reliability of Henry Louis Gehrig. He could be counted upon. He was there every day at the ballpark bending his back and ready to break his neck to win for his side. He was there day after day and year after year. Only a tragic illness could break the Iron Horse, whose 9/10 black fountain pen signature is presented here on a blank business card (or paper slip of similar dimensions).

    80931 1930 Chicago Cubs Team Signed Photograph Album from Les Bell. Platooned with Woody English as third baseman throughout the 1930 season, Bell was on the downswing of this nine-season career when he arrived at Wrigley. But clearly he quickly became popular with his new teammates, thirty of whom signed individual 4x6 portrait photographs, often with clever personal inscriptions, for inclusion in this charming little album. All of the teams Hall of Famers are present within, including Hack Wilson, Rogers Hornsby, KiKi Cuyler, George Kelly, Ray Schalk, Gabby Hartnett and manager Joe McCarthy (though the skipper appears in secretarial format). Other notables include Charlie Root, Guy Bush and Charlie Grimm. About half a dozen unsigned photos are here as well. All are the work of noted Chicago lensman George Burke, the most collectible photographer of his age. Signature quality is 9/10 or better throughout. The photos have taken on a gentle curve over the passing decades but are unharmed by this phenomenon and could easily be removed from the album and attened if desired, though we certainly would recommend leaving the album intact.

The two most essential autographs in the Yankees family share space upon a vintage album page, providing one of the strongest dual-signed specimens weve yet encountered. Gehrigs black fountain pen signature is a conservative 9/10, while the Bambino is an unimprovable 10/10. An unknown hand has identied each in short text to the right as Yankee 1st Base Man, and Home Run record holder respectively.

Starting Bid: $1,000 80934 1910s-40s Moe Berg Personally Owned Books with Multiple Signatures. The old joke about Berg was He can speak seven languages, but he cant hit in any of them. The Princeton-educated catcher batted .243 through fteen seasons of Major League ball, but is best remembered today for his participation in the famous 1934 Baseball Tour of Japan. Glaringly mediocre in talents when compared to fellow Tourists Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx, etc., Berg had actually been summoned by the United States government to act as a spy during this excursion, justifying his presence on a team of baseball immortals. Bergs unique place in baseball history has established him as one of the most collectible non-Hall of Famers, and here we encounter a most intriguing assortment of personally owned volumes. We begin with a childhood reader, Selections from American Poetry, signed six times (5/10) on the cover, and again on interior rear cover. Joining the volume are nine pages of his Greek language homework, each bearing his personal stamp. The following volumes bear his personal stamp and various underlined passages and notations in his hand: The Japanese Spirit by Okakura-Yoshisaburo. The Great Spy Scandal by Donald Seaman. Now Ill Tell by Carolyn Rothstein (widow of Arnold Rothstein, architect of 1919 World Series scandal). Contact Mercury by Leonard H. Nason. A Concise Etymological Dictionary of the English Language (10/10 blue ink signature on inside front cover). Books exhibit quite a bit of wear with occasional damage, but writing and signatures are unaected. Finally, we have his 1938 unsigned 1099 tax form stamped by the oces of Major League Baseball.

    80936 Circa 1930 Walter Johnson Signed Photograph. The Washington, D.C.-based studio photographers imprint at lower left strongly suggests that this image was snapped during the term of The Big Trains service to the Senators, which ended upon his 1933 assumption of the Cleveland Indians managerial reins. His black fountain pen inscription competes for contrast but rates a technical 8/10, reading For Edgar A. Moss, Best Wishes, Walter Johnson. The image itself measures 4.75x7 with minimal edge wear but no other issues of note. A marvelous keepsake from the number two man on the career victories list. Full LOA from PSA/ DNA.

Three future Hall of Famers are presented for your collecting pleasure, a relic from a Depression-era Yankees contest around the time of the Babes Called Shot. The Sultan is absent from these proceedings, but the cast of characters is still impressive: Gehrig, Sewell, Chapman, Combs, Andrews, Lary, Jorgens and Byrd. Gehrig appears in 7/10 ink, the rest (other than Andrews, who is 9/10 ink) are 9/10 pencil. The page is 4x5.5 with a horizontal center fold and minor staining at left which do little to distract.

    80939 1930s Honus Wagner Signed Postcard & Cut Signature. A pair of slabbed autographs from the Old Dutchman creates a single delectable lot. Best is a 1934 postcard to a girlfriend back home in Carnegie, PA. Wagner writes from the Big Apple, referencing the image of the newly constructed Chrysler Building on the image side of the card. How would a Bldg like this look in Carnegie, he jokes. He closes his bold black ink writing with a signed Honus. We get his surname with the second half of the lot, a simple penciled Wagner clipped from an old scorecard. Both signatures rate 9/10 or better. Encapsulated by PSA/DNA. Starting Bid: $250 80938 1933-35 Walter Johnson Signed Photograph. Soulful photographic portrait of the games silver medalist in career victories can be pegged to a three-year span during which the Big Train held the managerial reins of the Cleveland Indians. The image appears to be the work of noted photographer George Burke, whose trademark balance of light and shadow is in full eect here. A blue ink inscription, Best Wishes, Walter Johnson, gets a bit lighter in the middle of Wishes and Johnson, but the overall eect of the writing remains strong and would rate 9/10 without these lapses. The photo itself measures 7.5x9.5, apparently hand-trimmed of its borders, and is otherwise free of aws beyond an all but imperceptible lower right corner bend.

    80940 1934 New York Yankees Team Signed Autograph Album with Ruth, Gehrig. Though this edition of the Bronx Bombers did not capture the American League ag, it stands in history as one of the most noteworthy due to its status as the last to feature the rotund Ruth. The Babe appears as one of twenty-six signatures from the 34 Yanks, his blue fountain pen ink rating 8/10, alone on a removed album page bearing a clipped newspaper image of his perpetually smiling face. Also standing alone, and similarly decorated, is a page featuring Gehrigs 9/10 ink oering. Still housed in the album are pages for Sewell (9/10), Combs (9/10), Gomez (9/10), Rung (7/10 due to some staining), and Joe McCarthy (9/10), who shares space with Bump Hadley and one other.

Residents of the Baseball and Golf Hall of Fame respectively, the Babe and Little took a brief break from the links to pose for the photographers lens, each later signing the image in 9/10 black fountain pen ink. The appeal of this one-of-a-kind image is enhanced by the absence of personalizations with the star athletes signatures, quite a rarity for signed photos of this period. The photo presents wonderfully within the approximate 6x9 viewable dimensions, though it has not been examined outside of its mounted mat.

    80943 1937 Ted Williams Signed High School Yearbook. Already a Pacic Coast Leaguer while still in high school, The Kid would get the call from the Boston Red Sox during winter meetings in 1937, setting into motion the career of the most decorated gure in Fenway history. Here we present the school annual dating to that pivotal year in Williams life, acquired from the family of one of Teds senior classmates at San Diegos Herbert Hoover High School. The hardcover volume pictures the handsome youngster on page 21 with the simple caption Williams, Ted, Baseball. Even more exciting is the very early autograph on the inside rear cover of the book, reading simply Ted (V.H.). We do not know what the initials are meant to convey. The rarest of Williams signature variations, this specimen survives at 8/10 boldness. The cover of the yearbook is slightly warped with age, but there is no staining or tearing, and the binding remains tight and solid. Interior pages exhibit no issues of note.

But well forgive the horse-riding Iron Horse this one time, if for no other reason than this magnicent signed photo, one of the cleanest weve ever encountered from the Hall of Fame rst baseman. Decked out in full cowboy regalia right down to the six-shooter on his hip, the superstar slugger strikes a pose next to a 9/10 black fountain pen inscription reading To Earle, Charles & Donald, With my sincerest and best wishes always, Cordially, Lou Gehrig. The Earle in question, of course, is fellow Yankee and future Hall of Famer Earle Combs, adding yet another cause to celebrate this sepia image. Dimensions 7x9.5.

    80950 1939 Walter Johnson Signed Index Card. The Big Train was just months away from appearing as one of the featured guests at Cooperstown for the opening of the Baseball Hall of Fame when he applied his blue fountain pen signature to this blank 3x5 index card. The signature presents as boldly as the day it was applied, and an unknown hand has dated the card at lower left. A modern collectors notation on verso causes no distraction. Tough in any format, Johnson is particularly scarce on this hobby staple. Encapsulated by PSA/DNA, Authentic. Starting Bid: $375

    80952 1939 Jimmie Foxx Signed Photograph by George Burke. Exquisite 8x10 photographic portrait is unmistakably the work of celebrated baseball lensman George Burke, whose work serves as the preferred visual record of 1930s ball. His studio stamp appears on verso, along with a 1939 date in an unknown hand. The front provides a classic image of the second man in the 500 Home Run clubhouse, who inscribes To Eddie Hogan, My best to you, Jimmie Foxx, in 8/10 vintage black fountain pen ink.

    80953 Circa 1940 James Raleigh Biz Mackey Signed Album Page. The 2006 posthumous Hall of Fame inductee took a fteen-year old kid named Roy Campanella under his wing in the late 1930s, with Campy later recalling, In my opinion, Biz Mackey was the master of defense of all catchers. When I was a kid in Philadelphia, I saw both Mackey and Mickey Cochrane in their primes, but for real catching skills, I dont think Cochrane was the master of defense that Mackey was. The following statement, however, is not a matter of opinion, but bona de factthe autograph of Biz Mackey is one of the rarest in Cooperstown. This is the rst example Heritage has ever handled, and our database of all major auction house results over the past dozen years likewise comes up empty. A yellow album page measuring 3x5 in size bears a 6/10 pencil Mack, Catcher, in a childlike scrawl from the man who beat out Josh Gibson for catcher in the rst East-West All-Star Game in 1933. Dont even think about complaining about the partial signature, or the pencil utilized. This guy makes Shoeless Joe Jackson seem common. This rst opportunity will almost certainly likewise be your last. Encapsulated by PSA/DNA, Authentic. Starting Bid: $2,000

    80956 Circa 1940 Babe Ruth Signed Blank Business Card. Gorgeous autograph exemplar is identical to another once handled by Heritage, consigned by the gentleman who had been handed the card while attending a broadcast of the Babes NBC radio program as a boy. We suspect that this is another from that breed. Ruths blue fountain pen ink is as bold as can be, with the only detraction a rusty imprint of an ancient paper clip.

Most noteworthy is the high-grade personal check from the Bambino, penned just weeks before Ted Williams began work on his stunning 1941 trek to .400. Ruth makes the check payable to a New York-area golf course and is forced to add a couple extra lines for the address of his bank, apparently lacking a pre-printed example. All ink, and his standard GH Ruth check signature, is 9+/10. The massive (19x22) color print of the historic meeting of the Bambino and The Kid is autographed by the latter in 9+/10 blue sharpie.

Double X volunteered for military service this year but was rejected due to a sinus condition, thus turning his attentions to a new duty as player/manager for the Portsmouth (VA) club of the Class B Piedmont League. Here we nd him smiling broadly standing second from right beneath an 8/10 black fountain pen signature. The rest of the team signs as well, though we see no recognizable names or faces.

Penned just eighteen months before Lazzeris untimely passing at age forty-two from injuries suered in a fall precipitated by an epileptic seizure, this two-page letter is a humorous message to an old drinking buddy, likely a former patron at the San Francisco bar the star second baseman owned (Lazzeris business card from the bar is included).

    80964 1946 Montreal Royals Team Signed Photograph with Jackie Robinson. While 1947 is commonly recognized as the year that Jackie Robinson made his historic step across baseballs color line, thats actually not technically accurate. The future Hall of Famers assignment to the Dodgers AAA farm club Montreal Royals of the International League serves as the true milestone, and Robinsons 1946 spring training with the club supplied his rst taste of the hardships to come. Robinson was denied entry to hotels and even ballparks in the Deep South, the Jacksonville, Florida stadium padlocked shut without warning on game day to protect the institutionalized bigotry that poisoned the rst eight decades of the professional game. This artifact represents the most signicant turning point in the history of modern sport, the fulcrum upon which our National Pastime began its pivot toward the light. Jackies signature is 5/10 at far right of this 8x10 team image signed by seventeen including future or former Big Leaguers Spider Jorgensen, Herman Franks, Lew Riggs, Tommy Tatum and more. All sign in black fountain pen ink averaging 6/10 in strength. Photo itself exhibits a few bends and a heavier crease well below the central image, but nothing distracts measurably from the strong visual appeal. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA.

    80965 1947 Alex Pompez Signed Negro League Contract. One of the most signicant executives in the tumultuous history of Negro League Baseball, Pompez served as owner of the Cuban Stars (East) and the New York Cubans franchises between 1916 and 1950. Despite his tremendous relevance to the sport, Pompez was not a name widely known in modern baseball circles until his posthumous 2006 Hall of Fame induction made his autograph an essential commodity for Cooperstown collectors. Here we nd the ultimate relic for those hobbyists, an ocial Negro National League contract for player Lorenzo Cabrera executed and signed by Pompez in his role as president of the New York Cubans. Pompez black fountain pen autograph rates a stunning 10/10, and the date and team name are likewise in the Hall of Famers hand, exponentially augmenting the appeal. The contract exhibits original storage folds and light handling wear, but the writing is not aected in the slightest. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication.

The McKeever name should be familiar to baseball historians as Stephen McKeever served as main owner of the team between Ebbets 1925 passing and his own in 1938. Rickeys black fountain pen signature at lower left of the 9x12 certicate rates a awless 10/10, and the piece exhibits typical storage folds but no other noteworthy condition issues.

This is one of many juicy selections from this collection of a half dozen letters purchased by our consignor from Williams former mistress, providing an intensely personal and private insight into the games greatest hitter. Collectors know that handwritten letters from Williams are quite scarce regardless of content, but few could match this collection for tabloid intrigue.

And from 1951: Say listen this is just a note really to tell you that if I ever nd out you even talk to a ballplayer or anyone connected with it Ill just take it you dont want to see me, did ya hear? The next three letters were written from overseas during Williams Korean War service. Each is two pages in length, two written on front and back of a single sheet of paper and the third on two separate sheets. Some tidbits: Your picture honey was terric & Ive got it right by my bed to look at & some of my thoughts keep me awake at nite thinking about you & your precious little body.

This example was presented to the winning shortstop, the legendary Honus Wagner, who John McGraw once called the nearest thing to a perfect player he had ever witnessed.

The signature is penned in 10/10 blue ink on a business card-sized blank white paper, then axed to an album page along with a 1956 program clipping which aids in determining vintage. Essential to any quality collection, Clemente appears here in its most appealing variation. Encapsulated by PSA/DNA, Mint 9. Starting Bid: $200

    80985 1957 Ty Cobb Signed Government Postcard. A awless example of the Georgia Peachs essential autograph, applied in his preferred green ink, turns this two penny postcard into a treasure for the ages. The simple mailer is postmarked from Cobbs Menlo Park, California hometown and exhibits postal cancellation stamping and mild handling wear, but no distracting aws of note.

    80986 1958 Ty Cobb Signed Check, PSA/DNA Mint 9. A true hobby essential, appearing here in ideal format. All handwriting appears in Cobbs 9/10 blue ink, including his Tyrus R. Cobb ocial signature. But this example earns extra points for the desirable embossed name at top and the fact that the banks punch coding remains clear of the all-important autograph. A single vertical center fold line is only apparent upon close inspection. Encapsulated by PSA/DNA, Mint 9. Starting Bid: $150

    80988 1960 Pittsburgh Pirates Team Signed Display. Despite surrendering more than double the runs of their American League Champion New York Yankees opponents, the never-say-die Bucs scored when it mattered most, particularly in the form of Bill Mazeroskis walk-o blast in Game Seven. That unlikely World Championship squad is memorialized here with fortyone individual autographs from every Pirate on the 1960 roster. Most notable is a PSA-slabbed cut signature from Roberto Clemente (9/10) and a signed gold Hall of Fame plaque from Mazeroski. The rest appear mainly on signed index cards, post cards and trading cards, and include Trucks, Groat, Law, Murtaugh, Virdon, Haddix, Burgess, Hoak, Mizell and many more. Signature quality averages 9/10 across the board. Professionally designed display measures 40x48. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication. Third party shipping required.

    80987 1958 Jimmie Foxx Signed Government Postcard. The popular through the mail autograph collecting hobby lives on to this day, but its been decades since the greatest names in the game would reliably respond. Today collectors clamber for those aging relics, like this two penny postcard mailed to a young hobbyist by the great Jimmie Foxx, whose blue ink autograph survives with unimprovable boldness. Postcard exhibits cancellation stamping and mild handling wear but nothing that could be properly characterized as damage. Encapsulated by PSA/DNA, Authentic Starting Bid: $150

    80989 Circa 1960 Paul Waner Signed Black & White Hall of Fame Plaque. Big Poisons death in 1965 has made his signature considerably tougher than that of his little brother Lloyd, who joins Paul in the Hall of Fame where this postcard was issued. We have little doubt that there are several autographed black and white plaque collectors who are short Pauls specimen, and this boldly signed postcard will ll that void admirably. The postcard was rediscovered decades after signing, as a 1991 handwritten note and postmark on verso will attest. A crease runs horizontally through the center of the postcard, but this is not particularly distracting and does little to minimize the appeal of the 9+/10 black ink signature.

His black ink registers at a solid 9+/10, contrasting perfectly against the light background. A lower left corner crease does little to distract, and represents the sole condition caveat.

    80992 1961 New York Yankees Reunion Team Signed Lithograph. A masterful and painstakingly detailed painting by noted sports artist Ron Lewis was reproduced in a limited run of 1,000, and then signed by thirty-three of the men who made the 1961 season one of the most memorable in the history of the Bronx.

    80994 Early 1960s Negro League Correspondence Archive (46 pieces). While the integration of baseball begun by Jackie Robinsons debut in 1947 was unquestionably a positive development for the heart and soul of our National Pastime, the advancement would slowly choke the life out of the Negro Leagues as top players were snatched up by the Majors, followed by the African-American fan base. This fascinating archive catches the dying breaths of the Negro Leagues with a selection of handwritten letters (6), typed letters (21) and various documents and contracts (19). The collection centers around the Indianapolis Clowns, with multiple documents sent to or signed by their team owner Syd Pollock. The letters largely relate to scheduling of barnstorming events, and give some sense of the fading opportunities available to a team and a baseball tradition hurtling toward obsolescence. All pages exhibit typical handling/storage wear, but there is nothing which could be properly described as damage. A thrilling lot for the baseball historian. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $500 80995 1960s Jackie Robinson Signed Black & White Plaque, PSA/ DNA NM-MT 8. The Major Leagues rst black ballplayer was likewise the rst to cross Cooperstowns color line, and here we present his highly collectible Artvue black and white postcard picturing the bronze prize earned for his brilliance. Robinsons blue ink sentiment, Best Wishes, Jackie Robinson, commands an 8/10 grade from the harsh critics at PSA/DNA. The postcard itself exhibits only the faintest hint of wear at the extreme edges that doesnt aect the display whatsoever. Encapsulated by PSA/DNA, NM-MT 8. Starting Bid: $500

    80996 1960s Jackie Robinson Handwritten Signed Letter. The rst African-American player in both the Major Leagues and the Baseball Hall of Fame sends a letter of gratitude to the new manager of a Jamaican resort.

Just seven seasons after posting a Major League mark with 120 losses in its debut campaign, the Amazin Mets found themselves atop the baseball heap as World Series Champions.

    80999 1971 Nolan Ryan Signed Uniform Players Contract Noting Transfer to California Angels. Though the rst glance, and the opening page of this boilerplate document, would indicate that this is a simple agreement for $20,000 for Ryans service to the New York Mets of 1971, a turn of the page reveals one of the most momentous transactions in baseball history. Two assignment stamps and a typed addendum reading As of Dec. 10, 1971, this contract is hereby assigned outright to the California Angels Club of the Am. Lg. spell the end of Ryans Big Apple tenure and the beginning of sunnier days in the City of Angels. Ryan did enjoy a World Championship 1969 season at Shea, but his talents were largely stied during his Mets years, never pitching more than 152 innings in any of his four complete tours of duty. The move to California signaled his transformation into the workhorse that would ultimately become the games Strikeout King. Ryan pitched 284 innings in the 1972 Angels season, and well over three hundred in the next two years, claiming the single season strikeout total in each. I look back now, Ryan told a reporter, and realize that the Angels represented a fresh start. The club was young and hungry, and allowed their ace to spread his wings and y in a way never possible in Queens. It may be overstating matters somewhat to compare this contract/transfer to that which transformed Babe Ruth from a Red Sock to a Yankee, but not by much. In each case, the actions freed each ballplayer to chart his own path to baseballs pantheon. The standard four-page contract is signed by Lynn Nolan Ryan, Jr., twice by Mets general manager Bob Scheng, once by American League president Joe Cronin, and twice by National League president Chub Feeney. All autographs, and the contract itself, present without any aws of note. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $1,000

    81000 1970s Roger Maris & Mickey Mantle Signed Promotional Card. Rare and highly collectible artifact was consigned to Heritage by the woman to whom the piece was addressed, acquired at the end of a night of drinking with the former Yankee teammates. Weve all seen this card commemorating Maris historic sixty-rst before, but this is the rst weve encountered autographed by both halves of the M&M partnership. The eventual victor of the race inscribes To Windy, Our Best Wishes, Roger Maris, while the Mick completes the sentiment in the same 10/10 red marker, & Mickey Mantle. The 4.5x7 card exhibits no noteworthy condition issues. Encapsulated by PSA/DNA, Authentic. Starting Bid: $375 81002 1978 Thurman Munson Signed New York Yankees Check. Just eighteen months before the beloved Yankees captain would lose his life in a Canton, Ohio airplane crash, Munson endorsed this $189 check issued by the New York Yankees Road Account, presumably some sort of reimbursement check for expenses incurred while traveling with the team. The verso is endorsed with a 9+/10 blue ink signature, and the check is cleverly matted and framed so that the back of the check remains visible. Full framed dimensions are 17x25. The check displays no visible condition problems beyond standard bank cancellation stamping. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA. Third party shipping required. Starting Bid: $375 81003 Late 1970s Thurman Munson Signed Photograph. The tragic Yankees captain for the late 1970s World Championship teams is a tough autograph in any format, but hes almost impossible on an 8x10 photo for some reason. Here we nd a magnicent example of that rarity, inscribed To Frank, Best Wishes, Thurman Munson in unimprovably bold black marker. The photo exhibits tape stains at the corner from an earlier display and a bend above Munsons left ear, but these factors cause little visual distraction. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.

    81001 1977-79 Nolan Ryan Signed Uniform Players Contract. The California Angels were fully aware by now that they had something truly special in the right arm of their New York Mets acquisition, a re-throwing righty who twice ate up over three hundred innings in his ve seasons in Los Angeles, and took the single-season strikeout record each season but one. Wisely, management took serious steps to nail down the big Texan, presenting this contract for three seasons at a quarter million dollars a year. The nal page features several typed addenda including a $200,000 signing bonus and travel expense coverage, with the future Hall of Famer indicating his agreement to the terms with two Lynn Nolan Ryan, Jr. autographs. The contract is counter-signed by American League president Lee MacPhail and Angels general manager Harry Dalton. All autographs are 9/10 or better. The standard six-page contract exhibits mild handling wear but nothing that could be characterized as damage, remaining solid, complete and perfect for display. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA.

    81004 1979 Mickey Mantle Signed Check. We arent quite sure why Mantle checks are so maddeningly scarce. Our best guess is that the charming Mickey always had a lady taking care of his business, leaving him free to make baseball history during half of the year and carouse through the other half. In any case, many of the top check collections in the hobby are missing an autograph which is comparatively common in most other formats. This is a pristine example, apparently never used, as it lacks an endorsing signature, bank stamping or any signs of handling. Typed text pays two dollars to a Paul Rogers. Mickeys signature is a bold 9/10 ballpoint beauty. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA. Starting Bid: $500

    81006 Unique 1980s Mickey Mantle & Roger Maris Signed Photograph. With each passing year, baseball historians appreciate a little bit more what an amazing story the Summer of 61 was, and what a phenomenal pair of sluggers were the M&M boys. As such, the value of the rather short supply of dual-signed artifacts continue to rise with unwavering consistency, and at a sharp angle to boot. So those following the market will know that the time is now to invest in this classic photo of the hard-hitting pair, each signing in blue sharpie for posterity. Both autographs remain as bold as the day they were applied, and the 8x10 photo is likewise free of aws. This specimen is particularly interesting as it appears that the rst signer forgot which person he was, leaving the second no option but to continue the schizophrenic theme.

    81005 Circa 1980 Mickey Mantle & Roger Maris Signed Picture Pack Premiums. Pair of 5x7 images on paper derive from the popular Picture Packs sold at Big League ballparks around the time of the celebrated 1961 home run race. Here we nd these vintage relics in autographed form, the 10/10 sharpie likely dating the autographs to the years just prior to Maris passing. Mantle personalizes his photo To Bill, while Maris simply adds Best Wishes to his autograph. Premiums exhibit some inconsequential toning at the edges, otherwise EX-MT. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA.

    81013 1990s Mickey Mantle Signed Large Photograph. Oversized (11x14) photo of the Mick during his second season in pinstripes is not an image you see every day, and certainly not in such prodigious dimensions. Mantles autograph is proportionally rendered in 10/10 blue sharpie, and bears the exceedingly scarce notation of 1952. Even the most comprehensive Mantle collections are likely missing this one.

    81019 2010 Leaf Sports Icons Shoeless Joe Jackson Signed Cut Signature Trading Card. Hoards of trading card and autograph collectors alike swarmed the Leaf corporate booth at the National Sports Collectors Convention in Chicago this year to sneak a peek at this impressive redemption card, the only Shoeless Joe Jackson cut signature model ever released by a major trading card company. So when one lucky Leaf collector pulled The Golden Ticket, so to speak, to win ownership of this intense rarity, it was the hobby equivalent of a lottery win. Heritage is thrilled and honored to have been chosen by the lucky winner to present the card at auction to the collecting world at large. We all know that the brilliant but troubled conspirator in the 1919 World Series Black Sox scandal was functionally illiterate, and that his autograph is consequently extraordinarily rare. While there are a few scattered instances of Jacksons autograph appearing on baseballs and in autograph albums, he tended to avoid the diculty and embarrassment of signing when possible. As such, we nd most of the available Jackson autographs on ocial/legal documents which required a genuine signature. Clearly this representation, applied with the disjointed scribble of a child that typies Jackson exemplars, was trimmed from some form of ocial paperwork as the printed ...rance Recognizan... text above his name would indicate. The autograph survives with impressive 8/10 boldness. The card itself has been aorded the meticulous level of care it merits since its creation, presenting in awless NRMT-MT condition. The undisputed king of the baseball cut signature card realm, this special rarity will singlehandedly establish its owner as the leading hobbyist in that important hobby subgenre.

    81020 1955 Hall of Famers Multi-Signed Bat with Ott, Cobb, Lajoie, More. A small handwritten notation near the trademark of this absolutely massive (42 long!) Hillerich & Bradsby reads 1955 Cooperstown Induction, and the roster of signers would appear to validate this date. The oversized barrel is adorned with a constellation of star autographs, though we must stipulate that the fountain pen ink used for their application has not weathered the passing decades as well as one might hope. The following autographs remain quite readily legible: Ott, Cobb, Lajoie, Wheat (8/10), Walsh, Traynor, Terry, Schalk, Greenberg, Dickey, Conlan, Vance, Speaker, Baker, McCarthy, Crawford, Sisler (7/10), Gehringer (5/10), Frisch. Unless otherwise noted, the autographs will fall into the 2/10 to 4/10 range. The original owner of the bat has rounded out the full roster of Hall of Fame residents with hand printed names at the center of the bat, most of whom were already deceased at the time of the signing. In awless condition the sky would be the limit for the price tag on this special relic, but there is still enormous appeal here as an object touched by a stunning array of diamond legends.

His number 8 appears in marker on the knob, and a few ball strikes are visible on the barrel. But the real appeal here is the collection of 8/10 and better sharpie autographs from members of the 3,000 Hit Club, featuring Yastrzemski himself, Mays, Rose, Aaron, Gwynn, Brett, Henderson, Murray, Boggs, Yount, Carew, Wineld, Molitor, Brock, Musial, Kaline and Palmeiro.

    81038 1917-19 Detroit Tigers Team Signed Baseball with Ty Cobb. Rare Dead Ball Era team ball adds one notch to the small tally of pre-1920 examples to surface at auction, and features what is arguably the denitive gure from that period when speed and stealth was the name of the game. The illustrious Georgia Peach snuggles up to the circular Reach stamping on this OAL (Johnson) ball, his 2/10 black fountain pen ink trapped like a y in amber beneath an ancient coating of shellac. Other visible signatures appear from Harry Heilmann, Boland, Bush, Cunningham, Dauss and Yelle (whose threeseason term of service allows us to date the ball). Others can be detected, but are too light to discern. Despite the eye strain it inspires, this is a rarity that still carries no shortage of collecting appeal, a rare playing-days team ball from the heart of Ty Cobbs historic career.

    81039 1919 Cleveland Indians Team Signed Baseball with Ray Chapman. Though a rock-solid member of the Indians ineld for nine seasons, shortstop Ray Chapmans tragic claim to baseball fame is his status as the second player ever killed in Major League competition. The victim of a Carl Mays beanball, Chapman fell on August 16, 1920 at The Polo Grounds in uptown Manhattan, just a year after this exceedingly rare OAL (Johnson) ball was autographed. Needless to say, Chapmans autograph is available in very limited supply, and his 6.5/10 oering at the top of the western panel is the nest weve yet encountered on a baseball. He is joined by twentyeight teammates from the 1919 American League runners-up, notably Speaker (4/10), Coveleski (7/10), Wambsganss (1.5/10), ONeill (8/10), Johnston (7/10), Bagby (9/10) and more. Signature quality covers the full range noted above, but the vast majority are on the upper end of that scale. A thrilling rarity that should be a compelling target for the advanced collector.

    81040 1919 Boston Red Sox Team Signed Baseball with Babe Ruth. Blissfully unaware that they were in the rst of an eighty-six year drought, the defending World Champions autographed this OAL (Johnson) ball the year of the greatest scandal in Major League history. While considerable post-signing wear has complicated the legibility of the signatures adorning this ancient horsehide, we are able to discern the following among the names: Ruth, Barrow, Hooper, McInnis, Winn, Gainer, Shean, McNeil, Shannon and Dumont. Barrow leads the pack with 9/10 black fountain pen boldness, but the rest fall into the 1/10 to 3/10 neighborhood, including the Babe on the panel below Barrow. The lesser condition must be forgiven in light of the tremendous rarity and desirability of a Ruth-era Red Sox ball, however, one of just a tiny handful known to survive in the collecting community.

Edd Roush (2/10) and Eppa Rixey (7/10) provided future Hall of Fame credentials to this squad from the birthplace of professional ball, and each appears among the approximately twenty visible signatures on the presented ONL (Heydler) sphere. Exceedingly rare team ball runs the gamut when it comes to signature quality, with one panel all but gone and other names, including killer pitcher Carl Mays, Adolfo Luque and Hugh Critz quite readily legible. The average is somewhere in the 3/10 neighborhood, but much slack must be given in consideration of the intense scarcity. According to our auction results database, this is the very rst 1920s Reds ball to reach a major sports auction block in the past dozen years. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA.

    81042 1926 New York Yankees Team Signed Baseball, Second Finest Known! For years it reigned as the Heavyweight Champ, but this sphere was forced to reluctantly surrender its title as the discovery of Lou Gehrigs personal Mint condition sphere shook up the hobby world. That Gehrig example served as the rst lot of the Heritage 2011 Platinum Night auction in August, where it set a new world record for team signed baseballs with a stunning $131,450 winning bid. Theres certainly no shame in a silver medal however, and this representation from the American League Champs doesnt trail too far behind the Iron Horses personal model. The OAL (Johnson) orb is a study in what an expertly applied coating of shellac can accomplish, trapping the twenty-nine black fountain pen signatures beneath it like ies in amber, suspended in time with barely a hint of the passage of decades. A quotation-marked Babe Ruth assumes his rightful sweet spot position, holding the signatures of legends like Gehrig, Pennock, Combs, Lazzeri, Hoyt and the super-tough Urban Shocker in its gravitational orbit. Other notable names include Meusel, Pipgras, Bengough, Gazella, Paschal, Collins and Ward. A small divot in the leather skirts the edge of Shawkeys signature but remains mercifully clear of the rest. We can assure the collecting community that the Gehrig example will not be seeing the light of the auction day for quite some time to come, so this is the one to chase if you count yourself among the most discerning of Yankees collectors.

Presented is an exciting relic from that meeting of Golden Age juggernauts, an OAL (Barnard) ball bearing eighteen signatures from Philly and the Bronx.

    81096 Circa 1735 Jack Broughton Mezzotint. Marvelous portrait of the most inuential British boxer of his age captures the author of the Broughton Rules and Champion of England from 1734 to 1740. The mezzotint, a printmaking process of the intaglio family, measures 8.5x12.5, inclusive of its elegantly scripted caption with such bombastic text as Athletic Heroes Ancient Pindar Sung, And to their Praise his Lyre Immortal Strung. We nd some light water staining at lower edge but this causes little distraction and the piece is otherwise remarkably ne for better than a quarter of a milleniums existence.

    81097 Circa 1750 Jack Broughton Fight Ticket by William Hogarth. The earliest boxing ticket weve yet encountered provides a thrilling intersection of mideighteenth century British icons. The subject of the artwork, and presumably one of the combatants in the bout for which the ticket was designed, is Jack Broughton, considered the Champion of England from 1734 to 1740, and the author of the Broughton Rules, an early version of the London Prize Ring rules which dominated the sport until the Marquess of Queensbury came into favor in the 1860s. The artist, William Hogarth, was the most famous English painter, printmaker and visual satirist of his day and a pioneer of western sequential art, which is considered an early forerunner to the modern comic strip. We see the hint of that inuence in this print used by a member of The Fancy to gain entry to a bout. The ticket measures ve and a half inches square and with creases from having been folded into quarters. A cancellation X on back would have been applied at the venue. Some age toning at the edges must be noted but the state of survival is remarkable otherwise. Included is a 1799 reprint of the ticket attributing it to the bout between Broughton and Jack Slack, who encouraged Broughton to abandon his retirement to avenge an insult. The bout would prove to be the only veried defeat of Broughtons career. Starting Bid: $500

Rare broadside print with fabulous woodcut engraving above the title line is recognized as one of the earliest surviving ght reports extant.

A crowd of 22,000 gathered on Hungerford Common on December 11, 1821 to witness one of the great ght events of the era as Bill The Bristol Bull Neat met Tom Hickman, known to The Fancy as the Gaslight Man. Presented is a round-by-round account of the seventeen-round battle, beginning with a description of an early 19th century version of smack talk, and ending thusly: 17. Hickman was with diculty brought to the scratch, and he only stood up to receive a heavy body blow, which doubled him and he fell and faintly said Enough. A marvelous woodcut image stands above the title line of the 8.5x10.75 page, which exhibits edge chipping and some tearing along the right edge, but is effectively bolstered along the left side by vintage tape. The overall visual eect remains very strong, and the age and light paper stock of the piece is such that its very existence is an unlikely blessing. One of the earliest known examples of its type.

    81100 1850s Tom Sayers Rare Silk. One cant help but wonder if this silk was on-site at the famed contest with John Heenan, waved by a supporter of the British Champion as the greatest international boxing battle of its era raged. While Sayers isnt identied by name on this ancient rarity, it is clearly he that is pictured, and identied as Champion of England. Dimensions are 32x36. A couple small holes do little to distract the eye, and the silk is otherwise remarkably clean and solid, presenting beautifully. Our consignor states that these silks were sold to rich patrons in order to raise funds for the new Champion of England belt made by the silversmiths Hancocks of Bond Street, London, and this this specimen belonged to Hon. Lennox Boyd. Sold in Christies, London auction in 2008. One of the rare surviving period artifacts from the reign of Sayers. Starting Bid: $500

    81101 1859 Tom Sayers Handwritten Signed Letter Accepting Heenan Fight. Though the prizeghting world has been populated with shady characters and dirty dealings throughout the entirely of its history, puritanical forces had rendered professional sticus illegal and driven the sport deep underground in the mid-nineteenth century, where it was virtually ignored by polite society. But the public imagination of both sides of the Atlantic was captured when word of a meeting between British Heavyweight Champion Tom Sayers and American Heavyweight Champion John C. Heenan caught wind. The Times in London reported, this challenge has led to an amount of attention being bestowed on the prize ring which it has never received before, while The New York Clipper pronounced, Whateer we do, whereer we be, ght, ght, ght is the topic that engrosses all attention. Presented is one of the most historically signicant pugilistic artifacts ever made available for public sale, the British Champions handwritten acceptance to the terms of what boxing historians consider to be the sports rst World Championship. We see the evidence of Sayers poverty-stricken upbringing in a Brighton slum in his childlike scrawl, transcribed without editing: Dear Sir, I aksep yor Chalang tue te without gloves oktuber 24. Yrs. truly Thomas Sayers. staiks 500 a side, J.C. Heenan Esq. Vocal eorts to halt the lawless proceedings were overcome, and the feverishly anticipated contest was waged in a Farnborough meadow in Hampshire on the morning of April 17, 1860. Despite conceding forty pounds and ve inches to the American, and injuring his right arm early in the bout, Sayers appeared to slowly gain traction, bloodying Heenans face and closing his right eye. But after more than forty rounds, Heenan appeared to gain the upper hand as he choked Sayers against the top rope, causing the crowd (populated by the likes of Charles Dickens, William Thackeray, Thomas Nast and various aristocrats and members of Parliament) to cut the ropes and spill into the ring as the police moved in to bring a halt to the contest. The English and the American spectators continued the battle in the form of heated debates over which ghter had held the advantage, though Englands authoritative Saturday Review later let down its nationalistic guard when it wrote, We are not without our suspicions that the ring would have been better kept if the English Champion had been ghting a manifestly winning battle. The 4.25x6 page is heavily creased with scattered stains and chipping, but the writing survives with remarkable boldness. Included with the letter is an August 14, 1965 clipped article from Londons The Daily Telegraph which pictures the letter along with this letter to the editor: SirIn view of your report of the theft of the Champion of England belt from the Sporting Club, Regent Street, the original letter (above) of acceptance of the challenge written to T.C. Heenan, Esq. may be of interest. The letter provokes a mental picture of the writers tongue protruding with the eort of putting pen to paper. It was found among the papers left by Dr. Robert Clarke, of Settle, Yorkshire. Clarke was a collector of old letters of note and famous signatures. Yours faithfully, T.G.D. Burgess. Fairlight, Sussex. Also here is Mr. Burgess copy of the letter mailed to The Daily Telegraph, and the August 11, 1965 reply from the editors secretary which accompanied the Sayers letter when it was returned to the owner by mail.

    81102 Circa 1860 John C. Heenan Lithograph. The perfect companion piece to the Tom Sayers lithograph likewise presented within this auction is this wonderful portrait study of The Benicia Boy, the American Champion widely considered to have been the true victor of the famed battle with Sayers despite the ocial ruling of a draw due to a near riot and subsequent police intervention that ended the bout. The 18.5x22 work exhibits expected toning and soiling at the edges, but the marvelous 19th century graphics cannot be overcome by such issues. Starting Bid: $200

    81104 1860 Heenan vs. Sayers Woodcut from Harpers Weekly. The nest artwork weve encountered inspired by this most famous international boxing competition of the twentieth century.

Some vintage archival repair of the separated center fold is evident as is some chipping along the edges, but the 16x22 image presents as well as could be expected for its century and a half of existence. Starting Bid: $200

    81103 Circa 1860 Tom Sayers Lithograph. Heroic portrait of Tom Sayers, Champion of England nds the stocky pugilist assuming a ghting stance against a bucolic British countryside, much like that which greeted him upon his meeting with the American John Heenan in 1860. In fact, that bout is listed as the last in the wide lower margin recounting his ring battles, noting Fought J.C. Heenan, 42 Rounds and drawn Apr. 17, 1860.

It is housed in an original vintage mat headlined Champion of England, 1861, strongly suggesting that the piece was displayed publicly somewhere, most likely the concourse of an Athletic Club.

    81106 Early 1860s Charles/John Heenan Printed Song & 1880s Cabinet Card. Irish folk song celebrates the victory (in their opinion) of the famous 1860 bout, claiming the American as their own due to his family Heritage and their national antipathy toward England. Some of the lyrics: The proud English boxer he sent forth a challenge/ To the land of the Yankees a man for to nd/ To come forth and ght the great English Champion/ When there stepped out a man of true Irish line. It is unclear why Heenan is referred to as Charles, as his full name was John Camel Heenan, but there is no question but that it is the Heenan of the famed Heenan vs. Sayers ght that is celebrated. The printed page on green stock measures 6x8.75 with typical edge wear, but the piece remains solid and complete. Also here is an 1880s cabinet card picturing Heenan (identied in vintage ink on verso), measuring 4x6.5. EX-MT. Starting Bid: $375 81107 1860s John Heenan Mezzotint.

The 9.5x15 artwork is vintage backed for protection, with some vintage news clippings axed to that backing. The obverse exhibits just some scattered toning to suggest its age, but it still presents very well. Certainly the nest portrait study weve encountered of this early bare-knuckle Champ.

    81109 1880s Jem Mace Rare Boxing Silk. A limited original production run and delicate construction has served to make boxing silks such as this one a tremendously rare commodity in the modern collecting hobby, and this rare specimen celebrating one of the greatest boxing stars of 19th century England is a breed apart. It is believed that silks such as this were sold at boxing venues, a form of early souvenir. A portrait of the bare-knuckle Champ holds the center of the design, with his various belts forming a rather impressive frame around him. Flags of the United Kingdom adorn each corner. The silk measures 32x36 in size with minimal staining and one small hole, presenting wonderfully. Starting Bid: $500

    81111 1903 Silver Medal Presented to Jem Mace in South Africa. Extraordinary early boxing relic was presented to the 1861 Champion of England several years before his passing at age seventy-nine, gifted to him by an English soldier visiting Maces newly-opened Boxing Academy in Capetown, South Africa. The elegantly crafted bauble, stamped by makers John Yates & Son, features an image of two bare-knuckle boxers on obverse and a stylized MACE emblem on verso with the date of 1903. The medal measures approximately 1x1.5 in size and dangles from its original yellow ribbon. Personally owned material from this iconic early English ghter is all but unheard of in collecting circles, and bidders should react accordingly. Starting Bid: $300

    81110 Circa 1900 Jem Mace Signed Cut Signature with Portrait Print. He defeated Sam Hurst and Medway Island, Kent to earn the title of Champion of England in 1861, but legal troubles encouraged a move to the United States where he is credited with his nal exhibition bout in 1909 at age seventy-eight. Now over a century since his passing, Mace presents a considerable challenge to autograph collectors. This ne 9/10 black fountain pen oering will do the trick nicely for one advanced hobbyist, a bold J.M. Mace signature attractively matted and framed beneath a late 19th century artistic portrait print. Full dimensions of the matted display are 12.5x15. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA.

    81112 1909 John L. Sullivan Signed Album Page with Handwritten Note. The rst millionaire American athlete, the Boston Strong Boy reigned as the rst Heavyweight Champion of gloved boxing from 1881 to 1892, and is generally recognized as the last bare-knuckle Champ under the London Prize Ring rules. The hard-drinking, handlebar-mustached archetype of the 19th century ghter, Sullivan found religion and sobriety in his retirement, which likely inspired this rather zen-like missive: Compliments of John L. Sullivan, Jan. 23rd, 1909. Money is the universal passport to every place but Heaven and the universal provider for everything but Happiness. Sullivans black fountain pen ink rates a awless 10/10, and the 3.5x5.5 album page exhibits very light toning at the edges but no other issues of note. Precertied by PSA/DNA.

    81113 1911 Jack Johnson Signed Catholic Prayer Book. One of the most fascinating athletes in American history from a sociological standpoint, Jack Johnson relished his role as a thorn in the side of white America, claiming the Heavyweight boxing title and the women it considered its rightful property. His autograph is considered an essential component of any serious boxing collection, and here we encounter a ne example, penned in the front of a diminutive (2.75x4) Catholic prayer book. Johnsons bold black fountain pen ink reads, April 17, 1911, To Baby Carroll with best wishes, From Champion Jack Johnson. We admit that the year is a bit of a guess as the ink has bled slightly here, but the book derives from an American source and Johnson lived outside the borders of the country to avoid his Mann Act sentence from June 1913 through July 1920. The book exhibits some mild handling wear but the autograph remains unaected. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $300 81114 1912 Sam Langford Real Photo Postcards Lot of 2 with Related Documents. Though Heavyweight Champion Jack Johnson defeated Langford in their only meeting, most boxing historians will admit that the Champ dodged a rematch with the Canadian-born ghter in much the same way Johnson had been avoided by Tommy Burns. Today Langford, who Ring Magazine editor Nat Fleischer rated one of historys top ten heavyweights, is the toughest of targets for advanced boxing collectors, his memorabilia rarely surfacing in the hobby market. This exciting pair of real photo postcards derives from the archives of the Australian Ring Magazine, and pictures the Boston Terror on his 1912-13 tour of the Land Down Under, where he vanquished Australian Heavyweight Champ Sam McVea as a later notation on verso of each postcard recounts. Included with the pair of sepia-toned postcards are two related documents. First is a December 11, 1972 letter on Daily News letterhead responding to a request for information about the postcard entitled Sam Langford Meets the White Hope. It reads, in part, I do recall having, years ago, seen the Langford picture you mention; but I doubt whether there is anyone now around who could identify the little boy in it. Also here is a clipping from the Daily News printed ten days later with the headline, Who was the Little White Hope? The article goes on to discuss the postcard image and the owners search for answers. The postcards measure 3.25x5.25 each with mild edge and corner wear but no creasing, tearing or staining. Starting Bid: $375

    81115 1919 Willard vs. Dempsey Pinback. The rst example weve ever encountered of this rare pinback sold at the historic bout in which Jack Dempsey rst claimed the Heavyweight title. Dempsey so badly injured the much larger defending Champa broken jaw, broken ribs, several broken teeth and numerous fractures to his facial bonesthat many suspected Dempseys gloves were loaded, though respected Ring Magazine founder Nat Fleischer provided a rst-person refutation of these allegations. The celluoid pin measures 1.25 in diameter and remains axed to its patriotic American ag ribbon, a nod to the Independence Day celebration sharing the date. The pin and ribbon exhibit mild age toning but each presents very well otherwise. Starting Bid: $200

    81116 1923 Dempsey vs. Gibbons Full Tickets Lot of 10. One of the greatest disasters in the history of ght promotion is recalled with this historic lot of full tickets, grim reminders of a ght that essentially bankrupted the small town of Shelby, Montana. Their existence in unused state exhibits the very problem that spurred the nancial tragedyrumors that the ght would not take place kept the vast majority of spectators from boarding trains to Shelby, and the ght saw only 7,000 tickets in the massive new arena sold and 13,000 spectators crashing the gates for free. Local banks that had fronted the money for the huge purses for the ghters went under, and the great Golden Age pugilist and eventual victor Jack Dempsey barely escaped the town with his life. Two tickets are for the expensive fty dollar Ringside seats, the rest for the Outer Circle, and each presents in conservative EX-MT condition (one VG exception), with nothing more than minor edge wear to report.

    81117 1948 Joe Louis Mounted Original Photograph by Irving Penn. Extraordinary photographic work is that of one of the premier American lensmen of his day, and a check of the auction results archives of the Heritage Photography department will provide a sense of the market for Penns images. This study of the number one man in Ring Magazines ranking of boxings hardest punchers derives from a series of Penns Corner Photos which included Spencer Tracy, Marlene Dietrich, Igor Stravinsky and Marcel Duchamp, though the theme seems particularly apt for a professional boxer. The gelatin silver print is dry mounted and signed Irvin Penn, New York, 1948 on the mount. Verso of mount features all the hallmarks a Penn collector seeks, with personal Photograph by Penn and Conde Nast stamping, and a handwritten inventory code at upper right. The photo presents wonderfully but several condition issues must be addressed, notably scattered foxing, minor edge wear to the image, a couple surface scratches and minimal cracking of the photographic emulsion. A recently discovered work, this oering is expected to draw great interest in the advanced photography collecting community, and the superb quality of Penns work clearly justies the attention. Image is 7x9.5. Mount measures 11x15. Starting Bid: $1,000

Starting Bid: $1,000 81120 1963 Sonny Liston Presentational Walking Stick Once among the most feared punchers ever to step into the professional prize ring, Charles Sonny Liston rose from his role as an underworld henchman to become the Heavyweight Champion of the World. His two losses to Muhammad Ali are ranked among the most memorable and controversial in prize ghting history, and his early passing under unusual circumstances in 1970 is widely considered to have been a mob hit.

    81121 1964 Clay vs. Liston I Ocial Program. On February 25, 1964, World Heavyweight Champion Sonny Liston defended his title against a brash young upstart from Louisville, Kentucky named Cassius Clay. Clay was a heavy underdog going into the ght, but his speed and boxing skill proved the undoing of the aging and slower Liston. Liston, after taking heavy punishment, quit on his stool in the seventh round claiming to have suered a shoulder injury, and Clay was crowned the new Heavyweight Champ. Presented here is a scarce ocial program to this event. This program contains sixteen pages and survives in excellent condition, with very mild edge and corner wear and scattered foxing on the cover all that bears mention. An essential relic from the night The Greatest rst claimed the Heavyweight Championship of the World. Starting Bid: $500

    81122 1972 Muhammad Ali Signed Contract for the Bob Foster Bout. Though a natural Light Heavyweight of some repute, New Mexican ghter Bob Foster would occasionally pack on the pounds and take a crack at the Heavyweights, as he was encouraged to do when presented a shot at the NABF belt owned by the iconic Muhammad Ali. Foster quickly found himself to be heavily outmatched by the pugilistic legend (much as he had been in a 1970 meeting with Joe Frazier), and after being dropped to the canvas seven times, referee Mills Lane (in his rst bout of note) reached a ten-count on Foster in the eighth. Presented is the contract signaling Muhammad Alis agreement to the terms of the bout, stipulating a payment of $300,000 for his Hall of Fame services, as well as a $20,000 allowance for training camp expenses. The contract is typed on four 8.5x11 pages, signed on the last by Ali and the ght promoter.

Starting Bid: $375 81123 1974 Muhammad Ali Signed Check from Rumble in the Jungle Training Camp. The June 15, 1974 date on the presented Muhammad Ali Training Camp check provides the most delectable vintage to the rare artifact, as the next bout on Alis calendar was an October meeting with the terrifying George Foreman in Kinshasa, Zaire. Known to history as The Rumble in the Jungle, the ght would result in the rope-a-doping Alis reclamation of the Heavyweight title stripped from him seven years earlier due to his refusal to obey the Vietnam War draft. The check is lled out and signed completely in Alis 9/10 black ink, made out to Cash with the notation Misc Food.

The fact that two of Muhammad Alis greatest bouts were waged overseas has greatly complicated the endeavors of the Champs most fervent collectors, as very few of the artifacts from the Rumble and the Thrilla have been repatriated to America. Here we nd an extraordinarily rare example from the latter bout, the brutal third and nal meeting of these two Hall of Fame ghters. Rather unimaginatively billing the match as Super Fight III, the 9x12 broadside trumpets the October 1, 1975 bout at the Philippine Coliseum, the unusual start time of 10:45 AM chosen for the benet of the American audience as well as what would prove to be an unsuccessful attempt to minimize the eects of Manilas tropical heat. The duotone poster survives in stunning NRMT condition, clearly spared the public presentation that claimed all but a few scattered survivors of this type. Starting Bid: $500

On the wrist, he simply signs his name. On the thumb he signs again, but adds the 1-3-84 date. The third signature appears on the back of the glove, which he inscribes, To Leonard from Muhammad Ali, 1-3-84, adding a glowing star doodle at the close. Finally, he signs the palm, adding The Greatest and the date. All black sharpie writing rates 9/10 or better. The matching righthand glove is here as well, surprisingly unsigned.

    81128 Iron WorksA 25th Anniversary Artistic Time Capsule of a Rising Mike Tyson, 1986. Fear is your best friend or your worst enemy, Mike Tyson told artist Greg Spalenka, parroting the mantra of his recently deceased trainer and guardian Cus DAmato. Its like re. If you can control it, it can cook for you; it can heat your house. If you cant control it, it will burn everything around you and destroy you. When Spalenka visited Tysons Catskill, New York gym for ten days in the summer of 1986 to study the rising boxing phenom for an illustration assignment for Sports Illustrated, he found the twenty-year old Tyson a tightly muscled two hundred twenty pound assembly of contradictions, both gentle and destructive, furious and melancholy. Initially expecting the project to be little more than a visual study of a world class athlete, Spalenka quickly realized that Tyson was far more compelling than that, and this unique and remarkable collection of art and artifacts captures the essence of the youngest ever Heavyweight Champion with remarkable artistic and emotional sensitivity. The time capsule includes: 1) Fifteen pieces of signed (by the artist) artwork, ve life size. These include many sketches of Tyson, trainer Kevin Rooney, and the gym itself and the equipment within. Spalenka occasionally traced Tyson on huge pieces of paper to create perfectly scaled images. All art is apped with archival paper and repositionable tape. The painting Power and Science (40x53) is framed. 2) Sixty-two original one-of-a-kind Polaroid photographs. 3) Three microcassette recordings of interviews with Tyson, Rooney and aspiring female boxer at Tysons gym Nadia Hujtyn. This includes almost ninety minutes of live coaching sessions between Rooney and Tyson during sparring. 4) Five original copies of Print magazine that include the Iron Works illustrative journalism project. The successful bidder will also have the opportunity for a one to two hour conversation with the artist either by telephone, Skype or in person in the Los Angeles area. Third party shipping required.

Like the silver screens Rocky, Olson was more gifted with power and unbreakable will than with great pugilistic skill, but his grit made him a fan favorite and gained him three meetings with the greatest middleweight of all time, Sugar Ray Robinson. Though Olson failed to defeat Robinson in any of these bouts, his solid reputation as a contender earned him a spot in the four-man competition to assume Robinsons vacated title when Ray retired for the rst time in December 1952. Olson defeated Paddy Young for the American title, earning a meeting with Randy Turpin on October 21, 1953 at Madison Square Garden to crown the new Champ. This bout too would prove to be a testament to Olsons heart and recuperative powers, as he was dominated by Turpin throughout the rst four rounds and almost knocked to the canvas in the bouts opening minutes. But the tide changed in the middle rounds and Olson would score knockdowns in the tenth and eleventh en route to a unanimous decision. The performance earned Olson the Ring Magazine award for Fighter of the Year. Consigned by the Olson family along with Bobos title belt in the following lot, this pair of leather gloves is the set worn that glorious night in the Big Apple. The Ben Lee brand gloves exhibit solid wear from their hour on boxings biggest stage, with the cloth interior of the left wrist notated in vintage ink 10/21/53 BO. The right glove is similarly notated but only the BO remains visible. The most signicant ght worn gear available from this 2000 International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee. Letter of provenance from Olsons widow. Starting Bid: $1,000

    81131 1953 Carl Bobo Olson World Middleweight Championship Ring Magazine Belt. Magnicent relic is as good as it gets for the boxing world, the denitive artifact of pugilistic accomplishment. This is the one and only Championship belt awarded to 2000 International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee Bobo Olson for his defeat of Randy Turpin on October 21, 1953 to assume Sugar Ray Robinsons vacated World Middleweight Championship. Despite a slow start in this Madison Square Garden title bout, Olson put the heart and granite chin that made him a fan favorite to good use, slowly turning the tide on contender Randy Turpin and knocking him to the canvas twice to realize a unanimous fteen round decision. Championship belts rarely are made available to the collecting public and early Ring Magazine examples such as this are particularly coveted for their scarcity and enormous aesthetic appeal. The design is punctuated by a large center plaque upon which a gural eagle perches. The enameled text below announces, The Ring Magazine Award, Won By Carl Bobo Olson, Madison Square Garden, New York City. Smaller plaques clutching the red, white, blue and yellow belt at either side read World Middleweight Championship Oct. 21-1953 and Defeated Randy Turpin in 15 Rounds respectively. The fabric portion of the belt exhibits the mild toning one would expect of decades-old textiles but the metal plates exhibit nothing more than very mild oxidation to suggest their advanced age. A truly magnicent relic from what is arguably the greatest era of Middleweight boxing history. Consigned by the Olson family. Letter of provenance from Olsons widow. Starting Bid: $2,500

    81133 Circa 1790 Extraordinarily Rare Massive Bunker Iron. In golfs formative years in Scotland, iron clubs were used only to extract a feathery golf ball from hazardous situations, such as sand pits, heather, gorse, whins, and loose gravelly ground. Generally, iron clubs could easily damage the very expensive leather covered and feather stued ball which was in use at that time. However, rough ground could easily destroy the delicate wooden headed scoring clubs which were the preferred playing tools in those days. The solution to the damage dilemma was the Bunker Iron. They were quite heavy and oversized. They were intended to smash through the trouble (sticks, stones, and stubble) and throw the ball back onto the fairway or green. Because they were specially made by a blacksmith, they were quite expensive and few were made in the earliest days of golf. It is for this reason very few remain, with approximately only seventy to seventy-ve examples in existence today dating prior to 1830. The majority of these early irons are primarily owned by old Scottish or British golng clubs, or else reside in golf museums. The identifying characteristics of these early irons are the following: The clubs are very heavy, they have a massive hosel which is long and thick, the blade is quite large and concave, often with evidence of blacksmith hammer marks on the face. There is also sawtooth nicking at the top of the hosel which is prominent and sharp. The shaft is thick and bulky, being pinned through the hosel to connect it to the head. The ancient iron being oered here dates to the late 1700s and is in the kind of patinated condition one would expect considering the use it was put through and its age. There is no way to tell how old the shaft is, but one can assume it was replaced several times during the clubs playing days up to about 1850. This shaft might be much more recent than that. The grip appears to be a fairly modern replacement (probably twenty or thirty years old) showing excellent workmanship. In collecting early irons, it is the head that counts, and this one is indeed a rarity with a WOW! factor that speaks for itself. Lot derives from the Philadelphia Private Golf Museum.

    81134 Early 1800s Unsigned Feather Ball. The feather-ball period lasted from the sixteenth century to the mid-nineteenth century when the gutta-percha ball came into vogue. Only the richest patrons of the game could aord feather balls in that they were time-consuming to make, with a full time maker only able to hand-produce three to four feather balls in a day. The leather used was untanned bulls or horses hide cut into two round pieces for the ends and a strip for the center, being sized to suit the nal diameter and weight desired. After softening with alum and water, the three pieces were sewn together with a small hole being left to turn the casing inside out so that the seams were smooth on the surface. This same small hole was used to stu the select goose or chicken feathers, which were wet, into the balls interior. The tiny hole was then sewn shut with a single nal stitch. With drying, the leather contracted and the feathers (actually a natural polymer) expanded, resulting in an extremely hard yet elastic sphere. One old time writer said a good feathery was as hard as whale bone. After painting and sometimes stamping the makers name, the ball was ready for use. Only approximately 300 feather balls exist today. This used feather ball is a ne representative from the period when only the wealthy could aord to play golf. The ball is in well-used but solid condition, with intact seams and is completely original. Lot derives from the Philadelphia Private Golf Museum. Starting Bid: $750

    81136 Circa 1865 Campbell Hand-Hammered Gutta Percha Ball. The modern era of golf began in the 1850s when the feathery golf ball was replaced by the gutta-percha golf ball. It was inevitable that someone would attempt to replace the expensive and fragile feathery with a more resilient weatherproof golf ball. A relative of Rev. Robert A. Patterson, a missionary working in Malaysia, discovered the rubber-like material that comes from the dried sap of Sapodella trees of East Asia. This substance was used in sheet form as packing material to send a statue home to Robert Adams in Scotland, who immediately attempted to create a golf ball from it. The rst generation gutta percha (or gutty) golf balls were smooth and had erratic ight patterns. It was soon recognized that the nicked-up used balls ew much truer than the new ones which made it much easier for the golfer to predict his shots. Prior to this realization the gutty was not superior to the feathery as far as performance was concerned. But intentional nicking or scoring of the balls surface opened up a whole new industry including development of the hand-hammered and knife-cut patterns, to be followed in the 1860s by the molded gutty. Hand-hammered gutties were made by placing the ball in a mount and indenting the surface of the ball with the sharp end of a ball peen hammer. J. Campbell hand-hammered gutties are very rare, as are signed, hand-hammered balls in general. Campbell was a golf professional in the 1850s and 1860s. Very few of his golf balls have survived. This specimen shows considerable use with scattered indentations and a coating of ancient dirt, but it still presents very well and remains solid and spherical.

    81137 Circa 1896 Lenox Tankard in Golf Theme. Very rare and massive (16 tall) tankard dates to the close of the nineteenth century when Lenox was known as the Ceramic Art Company, which was started in 1889 by Walter Scott Lenox and Jonathan Coxon, Sr. This tankard has a fancy Gorham sterling lid and hand-painted golf scene. This ceramic art company piece was produced in Trenton, New Jersey. It has the rare purple Lenox stamp (used only in 1896) and is one of only two known to collectors nationwide at the time of this writing. The artist, W.H. Clayton, painted this beautiful ceramic in the famous Lenox green. Mr. Clayton, one of the most prolic of all Lenox golf artists, truly caught the essence of golf in America at the turn of the century with this piece. The scene depicts a golfer on the sixth green attempting to negotiate a stymie. Directly behind the golfer is the old clubhouse. On the golfers right, forever awaiting the result of the shot, is his determined opponent. Both golfers are clad in shirts, caps, checkered knickers, and high-top golf shoes. A truly great golng ceramic. NRMT. Lot derives from the Philadelphia Private Golf Museum. Starting Bid: $3,000

    81140 1910s-20s Francis Ouimet Tournament Used Putter. Francis Ouimet came from a working-class family, and never nished high school. He caddied until age sixteen to help support his family. At sixteen years of age, he went to work for Wright & Ditsons sporting goods store in downtown Boston. He was invited to play in the 1913 U.S. Open Golf Tournament at Brookline, MA because they needed one more player. Francis had to provide his own caddy in that the USGA did not have a caddy for this unknown ll-in. He ended up with ten-year old Eddie Lowery toting the bag. Francis not only made the cut but played his way into contention. Shooting a stunning 74-79 on the second day of play, he forced himself into a three-way playo with Harry Vardon and Ted Ray, the number one and two golfers in the world at that time. On the morning of the playo, Sept. 20, 1913, it was deemed that Francis should have a real caddy, in that several were now available, rather than this young and somewhat brazen boy. Francis, always the gentleman, replied, No thank you, Ill stick with Eddie. The rest is history! Ouimet won the playo, becoming the rst amateur and only the second American to win the U.S. Open. Needless to say, when Francis dropped the nal putt, the place went wild. This lot consists of a thick blade putter with the name Francis Ouimet in script on the back of the head. It was manufactured by Tom Stewart in St. Andrews. The putter was made personally by Tom Stewart in that the identifying dot on the back of the head is present near the toe. The club has an oset hosel, and an old short leather grip over an older long leather wrap grip. According to a Ouimet family member that this club originally came from, this was the putter he used in tournament play for many years. The lot includes a letter from Mr. James Sugden, the grand nephew of Alice Ouimet. Alice was the wife of Franciss brother Wilfred. In the letter, Mr. Sugden attests, I can state with absolute certainty that the wooden shaft putter, engraved with the Francis Ouimet signature/name, is authentic, and was one of his playing clubs. This letter was written to a former owner in 1991, who sold it to the gentleman who placed it in the Sporting Antiquities Auction, May 21, 1993. It was purchased at that sale by the current owner. Also included is a Christmas card with a photo of Francis Ouimet driving himself into oce as Captain of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club on Sept. 19, 1951 (the rst American to do so). The inscription says, With Best Wishes for Christmas and the New Year from Stella and Francis. Francis won the U.S. Amateur twice, the French Amateur, and was a member of the U.S. Walker Cup Team on several occasions. Lot derives from the Philadelphia Private Golf Museum. Starting Bid: $2,500 81141 1915 Lynnewood Hall Cup Awarded to Jerry Travers. Since 1901, the Lynnewood Hall Challenge Cup has been synonymous with prestige. It is the second-oldest amateur competition in the country, behind only the U.S. Amateur. In the years preceding World War II, the tournament was considered one of Americas premier invitationals. The tournament is held at Huntingdon Valley country club in the Philadelphia suburbs, and is named after the county seat of the Joseph E. Widener family, a club founder. In 1915, the Lynnewood Hall Challenge Cup was won by World Golf Hall of Fame member Jerome Travers. The diminutive Travers (5 feet, 7 inches and 140 pounds), in a nine-year stretch from 1906 to 1915, won four U.S. Amateurs, ve Metropolitan Amateurs, and a U. S. Open, also in 1915. His championship career ended abruptly at age 28. In his time, he was the best match player in the U.S. and one of the greatest U.S. Amateurs of all time. He beat the records of all of those who had come before him. The cup is a masterwork of silversmithing, its ornate structure standing ten inches in height, and measuring about eleven inches in diameter, inclusive of the width of the three handles. Each area between the handles is engraved with details of the competition, as follows: Huntingdon Valley Country Club, Lynnewood Hall Cup, Presented by Mrs. George D. Widener, Won by Jerome D. Travers, 1908. Frederick Herresho-1907, Jerome D. Travers-1908, Edwin Satterthwaite-1909, Walter J. Travis-1910, Wirt L. Thompson-1911, H.B. McFarland-1912, B. Warren Corkran-1913. George V. Rotan-1914, Jerome D. Travers-1915. Tarnishing and a few indistinct dents are apparent, but the trophy cup presents very well and retains every last ounce of historical and aesthetic appeal.

    81147 1934-38 Wanamaker Trophy Presented to Paul Runyan. In February of 1916 the Professional Golfers Association of America was established in New York City. The movement for the PGA was led by the wealthy department store owner Rodman Wanamaker. Wanamaker booked a gathering with the leading golf professionals of the day to prepare the agenda for the formal organization of the PGA. The rst PGA Championship was held in 1916 at Siwanoy Country Club in Eastchester, New York. The winner, Jim Barnes, received $500 and a diamond-studded gold medal donated by Rodman Wanamaker. The Champion was also awarded a huge silver trophy, which was also donated by Wanamaker, to keep for one year. Initially a match play event, the tournament was changed to stroke play in 1958. In the match play era Paul Runyan had the record for the largest margin by winning in 1938, 8 up with 7 to play over Sam Snead. This trophy is Paul Runyans personal replica for winning the tournament in 1934 and 1938 (see other Paul Runyan lots in this sale). It appears to be made of pot medal with a silver wash, which exhibits thinning over the years. Also, the acorn nial may have a repair weld at the seam. The trophy is just over fteen inches tall, weighs eight and a half pounds and is engraved Annual Championship of the Professional Golfers Association of America Rodman Wanamaker Trophy. Paul Runyans name is engraved on the base with the dates of his two wins, 1934 and 1938. The trophy is somewhat mysterious in that no other replicas of the Wanamaker Trophy surfaced until the PGA started the custom of giving them out to the winners several decades later. Thus, Paul Runyans replica may be the oldest example of such a trophy held in private hands. This is indeed a rare early piece of golf history from the PGA match play era. Lot derives from the Philadelphia Private Golf Museum. Starting Bid: $3,750

    81148 1949 Bobby Locke Signed Original Artwork. Arthur DArcy Bobby Locke, was born in South Africa in 1917.

In 1957, Locke won his fourth British Open - only a few golfers, such as Harry Vardon and Tom Watson, have won more Open titles. The portrait of Locke being oered was painted by John Archibald Alexander Berrie (b. 1887.) It is bust length and depicts Bobby in a South African blazer and tie. It was painted after Lockes successful win of the 1949 British Open at St. Georges Sandwich, when he beat Harry Bradshaw in a 36 hole playo by 12 strokes with rounds of 67 and 68.

    81149 1952 Bobby Locke British Open Gold Championship Medal. Arthur DArcy Bobby Locke was born in South Africa in 1917. Locke was regarded by many as one of the top ten golfers of all time. By the age of twenty he had won everything worth winning in South Africa, including the South African Open and Amateur titles. In 1936 he was the leading Amateur in The British Open, tying for eighth place. He reigned supreme in South Africa for twenty years. After WWII, he made his rst visit to America accepting an invitation from Sam Snead, who on a visit to South Africa the previous year had lost twelve of sixteen head-to-head matches to Locke. In America, Locke competed against the likes of Hogan, Nelson and Snead (among others). Over the span of slightly more than two seasons, Locke succeeded in playing in fty-nine PGA tournaments, winning thirteen, coming in runner-up in ten and placing third in seven. After winning the Chicago Victory National in 1946 by sixteen strokes, the Tour banned Locke from further participation, ostensibly because he failed to show up for two committed events. In private, some Tour players admitted that Locke was just too good, and that the Tour didnt like a foreigner winning their money. The ban was lifted in 1951, but Locke chose not to return to America. After the American ban, Bobby headed for Europe, where he won twenty-three times, including four victories in the British Open (1949, 1950, 1952, and 1957). Interestingly, all of his Open victories started with rounds of sixty-nine. The 1952 Open was played at Royal Lytham and St. Annes. In the rst two rounds, Locke was paired with Peter Thompson (a ve time winner of the Open) and in the nal round with Fred Daly. Lockes total score of 287 was enough to win the Championship by one stroke, and take the Gold Medal as Champion of the Year. The front of the medal is inscribed Open Golf Championship, 1952. The reverse is inscribed Winner, July. The medal measures 1.75 diameter and is housed in its original red leather tted case. Lot derives from the Philadelphia Private Golf Museum.

    81150 1953 Ben Hogan Match Used Putter. Consigned to this Signature auction by Hogans niece, the presented club had been a hand-me-down from the legendary golfer to his brother.

    81154 Circa 2001 Tiger Woods Signed Buick Tiger Slam Bag. If its good enough to win the Grand Slam, its good enough for us. Identical to the bag carried by Tigers caddy as the superstar golfer claimed four consecutive Major tournaments, this Buick bag was constructed in very limited numbers, with even fewer being presented to Tiger for signing. None were available for public sale, only gifted to high-ranking Buick employees and VIPs including Tiger himself. A black sharpie signature rates 9/10 on the white side panel of this top-quality bag, and light handling wear causes little distraction. Someday this 2001 vintage bag will be seen in the same way as 1927 Ruth material and 1961 Maris, so this is a real investment for the future. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA.

    The Duke of Windor Golng Memorabilia Collection.


    You must believe me when I tell you that I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as King as I would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love. With these words, King Edward VIII abdicated the throne of England in order to marry Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee, choosing true love over the throne. A man of great passions, the newly-titled Duke of Windsor soon found himself with boundless free time to pursue others. Chief among these passions was the sport of golf, and it is well established that Edward brought near professional talents to the links. The awards that follow are not merely ceremonial pieces to flatter the member of a powerful family, but rather trophies of genuine achievement. All were originally sold in a 1997 Sothebys auction of the Duke of Windsors personal belongings.

    81155 Early 20th Century Duke of Windsor Owned Letter Opener by Cartier. Literally t for royalty, this gorgeous silver letter opener features a carved golf scene and terminates in a small magnifying glass. Cartier stamping is at the base of the blade. Fine condition with original Sothebys lot tag. Ten inches length. Starting Bid: $1,000

    81156 1931 Duke of Windsor Hole in One Trophy. A South American excursion provided the thrill of a lifetime as Prince Edward holed his tee shot using the presented (and rather ironically titled) Silver King 2 ball. It is displayed upon a heavy silver stand engraved with the words Santos Golf Club, San Paulo Brazil, 6th Hole (180 Yards) in One by H.R.H. The Prince of Wales, 26.3.31. During his lifetime, the trophy was displayed in the Duke of Windsors bedroom at the Neuilly house. Starting Bid: $500

    81160 1934 Paul Runyan PGA Championship Gold Medal. Without a doubt, Paul Runyan, the 57, 125 lb. light hitting (barely averaging 230 yards per drive) but accurate driver of the golf ball, was the most feared little man in the game. He was considered to be the best truly light-hitting player who ever lived. He was deadly straight with his driver, fairway woods and irons, and around and on the greens he was an absolute genius. Coming of age during the Depression he learned to be tough and was known for that killer instinct; hence the nickname Little Poison. Runyan won twenty-nine times on the PGA Tour between 1930 and 1941. He won nine victories in 1933 alone and another six in 1934. In addition to winning the PGA Championships in 1934 and 1938, Runyan was the leading money winner in the U.S. in 1934. The 1934 PGA gold winners medal is the early large version and is accompanied by an unbelievable handwritten letter by Mr. Runyan describing the match as I remember it. He details each day of the match. He writes about playing my old boss Craig Wood in the nals and describes how the psychological advantage is mine. Craig could not get down in two from the rough while I two putted and have won against the odds. This letter is an important piece of PGA tournament history. This gold 1934 Winners medal designed by renowned artist and sculptor Henning Ryden is engraved Professional Golfers Association of America 1934 with set diamond on the front and scene on back depicting a idealized man in his follow through and a stylized young caddy carrying a ag. Medal measures 2 in diameter and weighs an impressive ninety-ve grams. A true work of art and the most impressive of all the Major Championship Gold Medals. The large Henning Ryden version was only used for about ten years, being replaced in the mid 1930s with a smaller version in a less classical motif. Lot derives from the Philadelphia Private Golf Museum. Starting Bid: $7,500

    81161 1938 Paul Runyan PGA Championship Gold Medal. The diminutive 57, 125lb. Paul Runyan, who averaged only 230 yards per drive, was considered the best little man in the game. He was extremely accurate o the tee and from the fairway and was magical around and on the greens. His nickname Little Poison personied a erce competitor with that Killer Instinct. He won 29 tour victories on the PGA Tour between 1930 and 1941. In addition to winning the 1934 and 1938 PGA Championship tournaments, Runyan played on the Ryder Cup team in 1933 and 1935 and was the leading money winner in 1934. The 1938 PGA gold winners medal is the later smaller version and is accompanied by an unbelievable hand written letter by Mr. Runyan describing The Story of the 1938 PGA Championship In the letter, he describes all of the rounds concluding with the nal match against Sam Snead when I truly had magic in my clubs shooting 66 in the morning round winning all four of the 5 par holes, going to lunch 5 up. Then in the second round... ending the match on the eleventh hole 8 up and 7 to play, which constituted the shortest PGA Championship nal match in PGA history! In fact I believe this nal match may have been the most signicant match in the history of golf, proving that in golf a good little person has a better chance against a good big person than in any other sport. This gold 1938 Winners medal is engraved The Professional Golfers Association of America Championship Winner 1938 with inset diamond on the front and a modern golfer swinging a golf club with a allegorical nymph in the background on the back. The medal measures 1.75 and weighs forty-eight grams. Lot derives from the Philadelphia Private Golf Museum. Starting Bid: $7,500

    The Bobby Jones Collection of Early Championship Medals.


    Robert Tyre (Bobby) Jones, Jr. (1902 -1971) was undoubtedly the greatest golfer of his era, and many would assert that he was the greatest golfer ever. His competitive golfing career started at age fourteen when he captured the Georgia State Amateur and entered the United States Amateur for the first time, a Championship he was to win a record five times before retiring from tournament golf in 1930 at the age of just twenty-eight. During that span of fourteen years Bobby Jones only played in fifty-four competitive events, over half of them while he was still a maturing minor under the age of twenty-one. In truth, Jones was a part time golfer who packed his clubs away in the fall and brought them out again in the spring. Incredibly, Bobby Jones won an amazing twenty-two times out of the fifty-four events he entered. Of the twenty-three major events he played in during his adult years (1923 to 1930), he captured three of three British Opens, four of eight U.S. Opens (with two runner-up finishes), five of eight U.S. Amateurs (with one runner-up), and one of three British Amateurs for an incredible winning rate of thirteen of twenty-three. As is well known, Jones captured all four Major Championships in his last season of 1930, the legendary Grand Slam. No golfer before or since has compiled such an impressive winning streak. Today, trophies are traditionally the prize given for winning golf tournaments. In Jones day, however, an important trophy was usually held for only a year and then had to be returned for the next champion to hold for his tenure. The permanent prize awarded was a medal, gold for first place, silver for second, and bronze for third (and sometimes for fourth place, especially in match play events where 3rd and 4th places were co-equal as both were quarter-finalists). Jones compiled a small but impressive treasure trove of medals from his playing days. According to Sidney Matthew, the foremost expert on Bobby Jones (The Life and Times of Bobby Jones and The History of Bobby Jones Golf Clubs, plus nearly a dozen other Jones related golf books), the great man kept his tournament hardware in a small chest in the dining room of his home in Atlanta. In 1967, Jones donated his Major Championship Medals to the United States Golf Association Museum, where they reside today in the magnificent Bobby Jones Room (along with some other historic Jones memorabilia such as Jones famous putter called Calamity Jane). A few other Jones medals were donated to other museums and golf clubs. However, a very few of the non-major medals remained in the Jones family and eventually descended to Bobbys grandchildren, Bob IV and Adele. Offered here are five medals owned by granddaughter Adele. Dr. Glaser obtained them in 1992 through renowned golf collectibles dealer Mort Olman, who brokered the medals for Adele. Each Medal comes with a signed statement from Adele attesting to her consignment of the medal to Mr. Olman.

Jones won the Southern Amateur in June of that same year at his home course of East Lake in Atlanta.

In 1922 when Mr. Jones won the Southern Amateur for the third time, there was, a team competition and he was one of four members of the winning team. The teams were apparently comprised of four members of the same club and the winners had the best aggregate score over 18 holes. The winning team members, representing Atlanta Athletic Club, were Bobby Jones Jr (75), Perry Adair (75), Tess Bradshaw (78) and Charles Rainwater (80). The round of golf in which Jones scored 75 on that day was also the qualifying round for the Southern Amateur. Jones tied for the lowest qualifying score, but he declined to play o for the medalist honor with two other qualiers who also shot 75. Jones often stated that he did not like to be the medalist in a match play qualifying round, so it is not surprising that he did not enter the playo.

    81166 1930 Bobby Jones Signed Spectators Scorecard from U.S. Amateur TournamentCompletion of Historic Grand Slam! The enormous historical importance of the presented scorecard almost slipped by us, as a vintage notation from the original owner on the rear cover improperly hypothesizes a date of C. 1926. But a quick Internet search for Merion Cricket Club in Haverford, Pennsylvania (today more appropriately named the Merion Golf Club) nds that this was the site of the U.S. Amateur in 1930. Bobby Jones had already won the British Amateur, British Open and U.S. Open of 1930 when he entered this tournament, so all eyes were upon him at Merion to see if he could complete the rst ever sweep of all four Majors, known to history as the Grand Slam. Of course, Jones did indeed prove victorious, and his opponent for the nal thirty-six holes was a golfer named Eugene Homans. Jones led by seven holes after the morning round, and when both Jones and Homans parred the eleventh hole in the afternoon, Jones lead stood at eight holes with seven to play. The Grand Slam was his. The presented scorecard was carried and scored by a spectator for the twenty-nine holes of competition between Jones and Homans it required to seal the formers victory, concluding with their matching par fours on the eleventh hole. Wisely, the spectator approached the victorious golfer for his autograph, applied with the spectators scoring pencil with 9/10 boldness. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only known signature from Jones that can be denitively pegged to the very day of his Grand Slam realization, and as such stands as one of the most desirable Jones autographs in the hobby. The scorecard exhibits minor handling wear but no damage of note. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $1,000

    81174 1929 Walter Hagen British Open & Ryder Cup Tournament Used Golf Bag. One of the most extraordinary Golden Age golng relics ever to surface in the collecting hobby, this brown leather bag accompanied Hagen during his storied 1929 exploits in the United Kingdom as he claimed his fourth and nal Open Championship and as he captained an American team that fell to the Brits in the Ryder Cup. The enormous historical relevance of the bag is matched only by its ironclad provenance, supplied in the form of photographs of Hagen engaged in the tournaments in question, and a letter from renowned golf collector Mark Emerson that traces each step of the bags ownership from Hagen to present. In its entirely, Emersons letter reads: Walter Hagens golf bag from the 1929 Ryder Cup Matches This golf bag was the property of Walter Hagen when he played in the 1929 Ryder Cup Golf Matches at Moortown, the British Open at Muireld and other events in and around that time period. It is hand-made, hand-tooled all leather with remnants of USA and the American ag on the side of the bag and the golf ball pouch. His imprinted name is still easily readable and very faintly Ryder Cup Team is embossed around the circular bottom band of the bag. As to provenance, Hagen gave this bag to his friend Dick Stranahan, a longtime PGA Tour member and eventual curator of the PGA Hall of Fame when it was located in Pinehurst. When Mr. Stranahan decided to part with some of his accumulated golf memorabilia, I acquired this bag and a handful of his major championship badges in February of 2001. The transaction was arranged by golf memorabilia dealer Mort Olman of Cincinnati, Ohio. I sold the bag to Connor Lewis in November 2008. Mr. Lewis is the consignor of the bag to this Signature auction. Lewis supplies as further documentation a 2009 letter from Bob Lilac, who worked with his brothers at the L.A. Young factory that made Hagens clubs. His letter states, in part: The photos you sent of Walter Hagens 1929 Ryder Cup bag were fascinating. I only saw that bag one time and it was before I started working with my brothers at LA Young. That bag has seen a lot of action, and it seems it shows. As far as I know Walter used that bag for his entire 1929 trip to Europe. Im afraid I cannot answer how much he used the bag once he came back to the States. While several photos of Hagen with the bag are included in the lot, the photography is such that only a couple provide denitive views. Best is an image of Hagen chipping to the green in the Ryder Cup, his caddy holding the bag to his right. The distinctive diamond-shaped tooling below the rim of the bag is apparent, as is the zipper that runs the length of the bag and the octagonal combination lock plate attached to the zipper of the golf ball compartment. We can also spot the diamond tooling in the image of Hagen dressed as an aviator in front of an airplane, snapped just prior to the Open. The bag is at his feet. Note that these photographs are high-quality second generation prints. Wear and age have claimed the bulk of the decorations recounted in Emersons letter of provenance, but the remnants are still visible to the eye. Much more apparent is the Walter Hagen USA lettering on the lid of the ball bag, imprinted in silver. One must not mistake this wear as damage, however, as the bag remains remarkably solid and complete, with some separation at the zipper areas and a loose lower handle (beneath which the year 1929 is stamped into the leather) the only issues more serious than general surface abrasion. Certainly the condition concerns fall far short of compromising the enormous aesthetic appeal, and have no bearing whatsoever upon its unmatched historical importance. Letter of provenance from Mark Emerson. Letter of provenance from Bill Lilac. Pair of photo matches and numerous other images of bag in tournament use. Starting Bid: $5,000

This may seem like quite a short distance for such a race, but the measurement actually refers to the size of the vessel. Interestingly, there were no participants in this sailing class, so this medal went unclaimed.

    The Manolete Collection.


    Me piden mas de lo que puedo dar. Solo digo una cosa que tengo muchas gans de que llegue Octubre. Translation: They ask more of me than I can give. I am eager to see October come. Manolete, August 16, 1947, just twelve days before his fatal goring. When Spains greatest matador and the Miura bull Islero inflicted fatal wounds upon one another in a single bloody instant at the center of the Linares arena on August 28, 1947, it was the culmination of a story that had begun over a century earlier, long before either was born. Manuel Rodriguez, known to history simply as Manolete, was the son and grandson of matadors. His great uncle Pepete was gored through the heart in 1862 and became the second man to die in the Madrid arena. The bull Islero had worried Manoletes handlers from their first inspection. The Miura line was known for its ferocity, sired from a line begun by a bull named Murcilago which survived twenty-eight sword strokes in an 1879 meeting with renowned matador Rafael Molina Snchez. The gallery shouted for mercy for the brave bull, and its blood lived on in Spains most feared breed. But it was not just the bulls native ferocity but his unpredictability that worried Manoletes handlers. While bullfighting has its many detractors who see the tradition as barbaric and cruel, one must understand the sensibilities of its enthusiasts to gain the proper perspective. The issue is not the slaughter of the bull, but rather how willingly and artfully the matador presents his own mortality for the taking. Spectators recall how Manoletes feet remained nailed to the ground as the horns swept inches from his body, a style that honored the grand old tradition, valuing control and bravery over the flashy stunts that had begun to infiltrate the sport. And Manolete preferred to kill in the most dangerous style, directly over the horns with the bull charging at him, rather than allowing the horns to pass and driving the sword home from the safety of the bulls flank. For his bravery and mastery of the kill, Manolete grew to be recognized as the greatest living matador, the Spanish equivalent of American baseballs Babe Ruth in talent and fame. Manolete had been drawn into a competition with a young matador named Luis Miguel Dominguin, who represented this flashy, youthful style slowly gaining favor. Manolete had resisted the meeting initially, but as the press and Dominguin began to paint Manolete as a coward, unwilling to face his rival, Manolete relented and agreed to the Linares contest. Dominguin thrilled the crowd with his theatrics, once sitting with his back to the bull, then kissing the bull between the horns. As Manoletes turn came, his picador was knocked from his horse by the Miura bull and the matador sprang into action, rescuing the fallen horseman and leading Islero through an intricate series of passes that had the stadium roaring with applause. Then came the time for the kill, and Manolete, in the classic style, went in over the horns. Islero hooked to the right as the blade sunk in, severing Manoletes femoral artery. Islero was dead in minutes. Manolete lasted through the night. His funeral would be the largest in the history of the nation of Spain, and radio stations played only funeral dirges for three days. Presented in the lots that follow is the most significant offering of Manolete memorabilia ever to be placed upon the public auction block. All lots derive from the personal collection of Marshall Sanchez Salinas, a close family friend of the Rodriguez family, and of Manolete himself.

Salinas explains that this was a favorite of Manoletes, and provides a pair of photographs of the legendary bullghter out on the tow while wearing it. The distinctive patterns of the pinstripes of the suit are a perfect match to the provided imagery. The highquality satin lined garment remains in splendid condition, and appears to measure to approximately an American size 38 (European 48), betting the matadors wiry frame. Salinas included letter of provenance reads, in part: I write to identify the suit that accompanies this letter as the personal property of Manuel Rodriguez (Manolete). He was photographed in this suit on many occasions. Starting Bid: $500

    81190 Wristwatch Presented to Manolete on Visit to Mexico.

A personal token of that trans-Atlantic excursion is presented here, an Exactus Chronographe Suisse engraved on verso Temporada 45-46, M.R. Manolete. The watch exhibits considerable wear, is missing its band and does not appear to be functional, but these concerns are of a secondary nature when considering the enormous historical appeal. The timepiece is accompanied by a letter of provenance from Marshall Sanchez Salinas, a close family friend of Manoletes in his youth. He writes, in part: I write to identify the watch that accompanies this letter as the personal property of Manuel Rodriguez (Manolete). The watch was given to him by the owner of the bullring Plaza Mexico, in honor of him ghting in the ring on opening day and to commemorate his stay in Mexico. Starting Bid: $500

Simply massive leatherbound volume features embossed spine reading Album Torino, Vol. IV, J.L.R. and is lled with hundreds of rare, original photographs of the greatest matador of all time.

The images are a mixture of professional photographs and private personal snapshots, varying in size from 3x5 to 7x11. Many are stamped on verso by the photographer, like Fotos de Espinosa and Foto Hermes. Dozens are real photo postcards, likely sold outside the arena. Surely this must be the most comprehensive private collection of Manolete images on earth, evidence of a mothers love for her famous son. The album was acquired from Manoletes mother by close family friend Marshall Sanchez Salinas, whose letter of provenance attends. The photos are almost uniformly NRMT, having been well protected for decades within the pages of this enormous volume. A simply stunning visual documentation of a true Spanish icon.

    81192 Manoletes Montera Worn Throughout His Bullghting Career. Arguably the most noteworthy artifact from the sport of bullghting ever to reach the public auction block, the presented montera (matadors hat) is addressed in Manoletes friend and noted author Barnaby Conrads denitive study of the legends last hours, The Death of Manolete: Manolete put on his monterathe lucky hat he had worn since he was a boy, the only montera he had ever ownedand stepped into the ring. The extraordinary singularity of this artifact, the one and only constant companion of historys greatest matador throughout years of artistry and fame, elevates the piece to an almost religious stature for the bullghting acionado. Conrads book features a trio of photographs of Manolete saluting the presidentes box at Linares with this montera in his right hand, then tossing the hat to his sword handlers just moments before suffering his fatal wound. The montera is designed in the classic style, luxuriously embroidered with a silk interior bearing the makers imprint inside the crown: Luis Alvarez Lopez, Ropa de Torear, Nuez de Arce, 5.-Telef. 22 43 55, Madrid.

Soon after his death I received many items from his mother, including his matadors hat. I write to identify the hat that accompanies this note to be that of Manuel Rodriguez (Manolete).

    81194 The Death Mask of Manolete. It was the template for countless heroic statues erected after his passing, and the enormous marble sculpture that tops the tomb in the Cordoba graveyard where he rests. The included letter of provenance from Rodriguez family friend Marshall Sanchez Salinas reads, in part: I spent my life collecting items on the sport of Bullghting, mostly on Manolete because we were friends and it was easy for me to get things from him or his mother. As it is known he was gored in Linares, Spain in 1947. Soon after his death 3 masks were made, commonly known as Death masks. The people who received them were his mother, Jose Luis de Cordoba, and Carmen his teacher. I write to identify the mask that accompanies this note to be the Death Mask of Manuel Rodriguez (Manolete). One of only three ever made. I was given the mask directly from Manuels mother shortly after his death. The heavy plaster mask serves as a stirring, eternal study of the matador as he looked the day he died. The detail is quite remarkable, capturing even the distinctive contours of the scar on his left cheek. Accompanying the mask is a pair of photographs. The rst is an image of the death mask itself (or one of the other two) with hand-rendered white ink text and design, clearly created to be reproduced for some form of memorial issue. The second is a photo of Manoletes corpse, lying in the hospital bed where he died. Also presented is a memorial small poster (7x10) widely distributed in Spain following the matadors tragic passing.

    81195 Circa 1850 Extraordinary Lemon Peel Baseball. This extraordinary baseball relic is Hall of Fame quality and tremendously rare. Of classic lemon peel construction, this ball is the rst we have handled or seen that is multicolored, which may indicate early baseball club use. After much research, we have not been able to conclude what club, if any, used this ball, but is has great color, and is of professional construction, and remains in superb condition. The National Association of Baseball Players changed the specications of baseballs in the late 1850s. Baseballs were to weigh 6.25 ounces and have a circumference of 10.25 inches. As this ball weighs two ounces and has a circumference of seven inches, it is highly likely that this ball dates to circa 1850, perhaps earlier. Starting Bid: $500 81196 Circa 1860 Brooklyn Excelsior Team Silk Ribbon. Experienced Heritage bidders will recall a remarkable oering of nineteenth century team ribbons fashioned into a display by an early player, sold in our August 2010 Platinum Night auction. Here we present a signicantly highergrade example (and slightly dierent version) of the Excelsior model contained within that display. The Excelsiors famous tour of New York, in which they defeated the Champion Club of Albany, the Victory Club of Troy, the Bualo Niagaras and the Brooklyn Atlantics, was the the most noteworthy baseball tour of the pre-Civil War era, and its likely this ribbon dates to that excursion. The pale blue ribbon measures approximately 2.75x9 in size. Mild wear is to be expected, but our catalog imagery should properly attest to the ne aesthetics. Ribbon is framed to nal dimensions of 5.5x12. Starting Bid: $200

    81197 Circa 1860 Baltimore Pastime Team Silk Ribbon. From the same source that provided this auction with a rare Brooklyn Excelsior ribbon comes this exciting relic from the Baltimore Pastime B.B.C. Regular Heritage bidders will recall our April 2011 oering of a trophy baseball featured on the PBS program Antiques Roadshow which memorialized a contest between this club and the Brooklyn Atlantics, dated June 23, 1859. Ribbons such as this were traded between opposing players as a friendly gesture of camaraderie. The 1x7.5 silk relic exhibits some staining and minimal tattering at the ends, but our catalog imagery should indicate that the aesthetics of this exciting survivor of baseballs infancy remain strong. Starting Bid: $500

    81198 1867 Home Run Polka Sheet Music.

We must report that the spine of the sheet music is split (typical of most period examples), but all pieces remain present and the aesthetics do not suer as a result. Dimensions 10.5x13.75.

    81201 1884 New York Metropolitans vs. Philadelphia Athletics Scorecard. Early contest was a massacre for the eventual American Association Champs, who appear to have notched a twelve to nothing shutout of the visiting Athletics if we are to believe the penciled scorecard.

    81202 1884 Union Association Base Ball ContractOnly Example Known! Federal League (1914-15) material is very tough. Players League (1890) is tougher still. But artifacts from the Union Association, essentially little more than a brief ight of fancy of a young St. Louis millionaire named Henry Lucas, has them both beat by a country mile. While the Union Association is conventionally listed as a Major League, historians debate this status due mainly to the markedly inferior talent compared to the National League and National Association against which it competed. Such arguments do not, however, diminish the intense desirability and collectibility of Union Association memorabilia. Executed in October of 1883, this players contract secures the services of rst baseman Charles Levis for the single season of the Union Associations existence. Or, at least, it appears to do so, as records show that Levis did not in fact play for the Chicago Union BB Club, as this contract indicates, but rather the Baltimore Monumentals, with which he batted a middling .228. It is unclear how or why this contract was negated. The impressive four-page document dictates a salary of twelve hundred dollars, and is signed at the close by Levis, the team president and the teams manager. The cover of the contract is signed by William Warren White, a Civil War vet who served as secretary of the Union Association. The ancient document exhibits fold line wear with minor separation and scattered staining, but such minor concerns must be forgotten in light of its population one status. Completely unfolded, the document measures 14x17. Starting Bid: $3,000

    81203 1890 Cleveland Infants vs. New York Giants Players League Scorecard. Often called the Brotherhood League as it emerged from the Brotherhood of Professional Base-Ball Players, the sports rst players union, the Players League was the rst genuine challenger to the National League, but poor funding and lack of condence conned its existence to a single season. You think Federal League material is tough? The Brotherhood is a quarter-century older with half the running time. This four-page scorecard features marvelous period advertising throughout and is fully scored, noting three home runs in the contest, an eleven to eight victory for the visiting Giants. Future Hall of Fame participants included Buck Ewing, Roger Connor, Jim ORourke and Ed Delahanty. Very minor edge chipping represents the entirety of condition concerns, short of period fans pencil writing on the cover. A stupendously rare relic for the advanced nineteenth century collector.

An image of the actual Temple Cup trophy appears above. Some edge wear and chipping, along with a two-inch tear at right edge of the cover, must be noted in a discussion of condition, but our catalog imagery should properly indicate that these distractions are minor at best. Considering the impressive size (10.5x14) and the delicacy of the pages, the condition could only be identied as cause for celebration. While the cover provides all the graphic reworks, were pleased to report that all interior pages are present and accounted for as well. Starting Bid: $375

    81207 1901 Boston Red Sox Stock Certicate Number OneThe Birth of a Franchise! Perhaps the most signicant artifact relating to the history of the Boston Red Sox ever placed upon the public auction block, this seminal document is the very rst public stock certicate ever issued by the Boston American League Base-Ball Club, granting to Joseph C. Pelletier eight shares of Capital Stock. Pelletier, the teams rst president, is best remembered in history as the Massachusetts District Attorney and lead prosecutor of Charles Ponzi, namesake of the pyramid scheme that sunk Bernie Mado. Clearly this investment in a baseball club which would come to be one of American sports premier franchises was considerably more solid. The 9x11.5 certicate is lled out and signed twice by Pelletier, once as the stockholder and again as team president at lower right. The teams treasurer also signs at bottom. A third Pelletier signature appears upon the attached stub at left, which expands the complete dimensions of the display to almost fourteen inches in width. Some chipping along the left edge of the stub remains clear of the writing. Each piece is dated August 19, 1901, less than four months after the Boston Americans debuted at Huntington Avenue Grounds with legendary hurler Cy Young on the mound. A transfer agreement on verso adds to the historical intrigue, as Pelletier transfers six shares to John I. Taylor, the son of the Boston Globe publisher who owned the Red Sox from 1904 until 1911. This agreement is dated May 7, 1904, and therefore clearly relates to this transfer of power. A fourth Pelletier autograph attends. The certicate remains in strong condition, with some expected age toning and mild edge wear. The original 1901 embossed foil seal at lower right shows some wear but remains in place. Of course minor concerns about condition must be dismissed in light of the tremendous rarity and relevance of this singularly important relic. Though the legal signicance of this stock may have lapsed, the certicate remains a true investment piece for the advanced collector. Starting Bid: $5,000

    81208 1907 Detroit Tigers Team Cabinet Photograph with Ty Cobb. The nest team shot weve yet encountered of this Dead Ball Era powerhouse that claimed three straight American League pennants (1907-09) but never could grab that ultimate brass Fall Classic ring. Hall of Fame manager Hughie Jennings corrals the team mascot at center, and the twenty-year old Georgia Peach sits just beyond his right shoulder, clutching a bat and a elding glove in his hands. Wahoo Sam Crawford, who would follow Cobb into the Hall of Fame in 1957, stands third from left. The condition of the piece is simply stunning, with the 8x10 photograph and the cardboard mount that expands the dimensions to 10x12 exhibiting only the lightest of wear. Almost surely the most pristine surviving example. Starting Bid: $1,000

    81209 1909 Pittsburgh Pirates Team Panoramic Photograph. History was made in our August 2011 Platinum Night auction when a high-grade example of this photograph from the personal collection of back-up catcher Paddy OConnor realized $26,290. While the hobby had seen the image in various paper supplements from periodicals of the day, that OConnor photographic original was the rst of its type to surface. Here we encounter just the second. Though lacking the pristine condition of that rst example, the presented image of Honus Wagner, Vic Willis, Fred Clarke and the gang is not too far behind. The 9x31 photo is axed to a cardboard mount which extends the nal dimensions to approximately 12x33. The mount is chipped at far right and the upper left corner, but only in the latter instance is the image itself aected, losing a small portion of the print well clear of the central focus. The mount has otherwise served its passenger well, saving the panorama from the tearing and creasing so common in similar representations. In terms of surface area, we can honestly report that 98% of the image enjoys a NRMTMT status. A thoroughly appealing and impressive visual documentation of the rst Pittsburgh Pirates World Championship team. Starting Bid: $1,500

    81210 1913 Ebbets Field Brick & 1950s Flatbush Avenue Street Sign. The charming little Brooklyn ballpark fell to the wrecking ball in 1960, ending a forty-seven year stand at 55 Sullivan Place. The presented brick labeled Brigham, well documented as the fundamental building block of the stadium, was loaded into the station wagon of Brooklyn resident Anne Dundon from the demolition site in 1960, and presents today with a small axed plaque. Also here is a metal Flatbush Ave. street sign from the Jackie Robinson era, the perfect display companion piece. Each item exhibits expected wear but no distracting damage to note. Photocopy of notarized letter of provenance from Anne Dundon. Starting Bid: $375

    81212 1914 Shoeless Joe Jackson Photograph by George Bain. Almost certainly snapped the same day as the other Bain photograph of Jackson presented within this auction, this one nds the controversial legend taking a elding pose. The awless contrast of light and dark remains the same, however, explaining Bains importance and value within the modern collecting community. Only light edge and corner wear to report here, otherwise the photo is free of noteworthy aws. Size is 3.5x5. Type 1. LOA from PSA/DNA. Starting Bid: $300

    81211 1914 Ebbets Field Opening Game Used Baseball. The rst year anniversary of the fabled Brooklyn ballpark was still a couple weeks away when Robins third baseman Red Smith fouled this ONL (Tener) ball into the stands during an April 2, 1914 preseason exhibition meeting with the New York Yankees. The ball is extensively notated in the hand of the young Brooklynite who retrieved the ancient orb: Souvenir of First Game of Season at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, April 2nd 1914, Score Brooklyn 4, N.Y. Americans 3, 10 innings. This ball knocked in the stands by Red Smith. Wheat Hits a Home Run Over the Wall. This Ball Picked Up by John F. Kemp, Brooklyn N.Y. An intriguing relic of a rivalry which wouldnt start to heat up for another twentyseven years with the clubs meeting in the 1941 World Series. Starting Bid: $375

    81213 1914 Miracle Boston Braves World Championship Leather. Exceptionally rare in any condition, and particularly in the remarkable EX state in which this specimen nds itself today, this incredible fringed leather pillow top celebrates the team responsible for one of the most improbable comebacks in the games long history. Ten games below .500 at the midpoint of the season, the Braves stormed back in the second half to win sixty-one of the nal seventy-seven to take the pennant by a landslide. A four-game sweep of the all but invincible Philadelphia Athletics in October accounts for the bold World Champions text that, along with Boston Braves above, frames the incredible photographic image imprinted on the body of the piece. Identiable in the front row are Hall of Famers Johnny Evers and Rabbit Maranville. Factory cut tassels and a stitched leather band, used to secure the piece to a pillow, ring the perimeter of this exceptional piece. Both of these features are original and unrestored, with no additional stitching as is often seen. A degree of surface wear is to be expected given the intent of the artifact as a pillow cover, though our catalog imagery should indicate that the overall aesthetics remain strong. Total dimensions are 23x24. Starting Bid: $375

    81214 1915 World Series Scorecard Picturing Babe Ruth. Bursting with historical intrigue, this exceedingly rare scorecard will draw the biggest applause for the image of a baby-faced Babe, pictured as a member of the American League Champion Boston Red Sox upon this advertising scorecard produced for the impending Fall Classic meeting with the Phillies of the National League. Other noteworthy folks pictured include Speaker, Pennock, Grover Cleveland Alexander and Senators great Walter Johnson, who appears in endorsement of a tailors wares. A full listing of National, American and World Series Champs is also printed here, as are the top ten batters for each League. The cardstock relic measures 5.5x14, making its survival all the more surprising, as light edge wear is the only condition issue of note. Starting Bid: $300 81215 1916 Chicago White Sox Team Panoramic Photograph. This remarkable photograph, measuring 8 x 26, pictures the entire 1916 squad kneeling in front of scores of postal workers in Chicago for a convention. The original, vintage mount is embossed with the details: Delegates to the Fourteenth Annual Convention of the National Rural Letter Carriers Association enjoying the National game at the White Sox Baseball Park, Chicago, Ill., Wednesday, August Ninth, Nineteen Hundred and Sixteen. An image of Comiskey Park is at left, with the caption, Home of the White Sox. At right is an image of the the famous Montgomery Ward department store, with identifying caption below. The original frame brings the overall dimensions to 14 x 31. But, of course, it is the image itself that holds the greatest appeal, picturing twenty-four members of the powerful American League squad, including six of the notorious Eight Men Out, who were banned from the game for their involvement in the throwing of the 1919 World Series. Shoeless Joe Jackson stares into the camera at far left, and as the camera pans right, it crosses paths with crooked pitchers Eddie Cicotte and Claude Lefty Williams, inelders Buck Weaver, Fred McMullin, and outelder Oscar Happy Felsch. Its a rather rough-and-tumble lot, particularly in contrast to the men in crisp suits and ties and women in owered sun hats that crowd the space behind them. The looks on their faces suggest that the day did not go well, and, in fact, it didnt. With the stands largely empty, its evident that this photo was shot post-game, as the White Sox were still smarting from a 3-1 loss to the visiting Red Sox. Short of a small imperfection at the upper right edge of the mount, only apparent upon close inspection, this piece appears just as it did when Joe and Eddie and Lefty and Happy and Buck were still innocent men, NRMT in every regard. Starting Bid: $1,000

    81216 1916 World Series Program (Brooklyn). Uncle Robbie commands the cover of this scarce artifact, where an oer of a free motorcar is made if the Robins managed to sweep the BoSox, though a young southpaw pitcher named Babe Ruth had other plans. Note that there is even a stamped correction to this oer, with the words the rst four games replaced by a more specic four straight games. A vertical center fold line is apparent, as is some edge toning, but the program remains solid and complete with no tearing. The center scorecards are unmarked. A solid representation of a rare Fall Classic program. Starting Bid: $500

    81217 1916 Babe Ruth Game Ticket Stub. Intriguing early relic dates to just ten days after the twenty-one year old Bambino pitched his historic fourteen inning complete game victory over the Brooklyn Robins in the second contest of the 1916 World Series. The diculty in researching non-sanctioned games close to a century ago has hampered our ability to provide details about the October 19, 1916 event, but clearly the young Red Sox pitcher was a participant in this match at Bayside, in the outskirts of the city of Boston. Predating by over a decade the famous Bustin Babes barnstorming tour, the presented ticket is unquestionably the earliest known to name the man who would become baseballs greatest star. The stub measures 1.75x3.5 in size, with an inconsequential tiny stain at left edge but otherwise no aws of note. Blank back. Starting Bid: $200

    81218 1917 Chicago Cubs & White Sox Advertising Sign. Enormous in both dimension and collector appeal, this treasure of Dead Ball Era advertising provides marvelous team photographs of both Windy City franchises wearing Patrick-Duluth Mackinaws on the diamonds at Wrigley Field and Comiskey Park respectively. Each player is identied in the lower border area of the photos, with all Eight Men Out (Gandil, McMullin, Weaver, Jackson, Risberg, Felsch, Cycotte (sic) and Williams) appearing on the World Championship White Sox side. Other notables are Vaughn and Demaree for the Cubs, and Collins, Schalk and Gleason for the Sox. The cardstock relic folds out at center to 15.5x36 in total size, and presents marvelously with professional restoration of diagonal cracks forming triangles at each upper corner. Our catalog imagery should properly indicate how inconsequential these aws appear upon viewing. Some minor dampstaining is also barely visible. Considering the size and advanced age of the piece, the condition could only fairly be characterized as impressive. Surely none ner could exist, if any others exist at all. Starting Bid: $1,000

    81219 1918 New York Yankees Panoramic Wire Photograph. The rst one youve seen? That makes two of us. But, sure enough, this 10x29 photographic print on matte (gloss-free) paper bears three Nassau Photo-Film Service stamps and a typed paper caption identifying each member including Hall of Famers Frank Home Run Baker and the tiny new manager Miller Huggins (ninth and fourteenth from left respectively). A four-inch horizontal tear at far left and another an inch long at right represent the condition concerns, leaving the photo in remarkably ne shape considering its delicate nature. Yankee photography predating Ruths arrival is quite scarce, and this is one of the most appealing weve encountered from that thin supply. Starting Bid: $375

    81220 1918 Boston Red Sox Huge Photograph from Fenway Park. Even a Yankees fan would have to tip his navy NY cap to this remarkable relic, so steeped in Red Sox tradition that you can almost smell the salt air wafting in from Boston Harbor. Dont let the 2004 and 2007 successes distract youthis 1918 edition is still the denitive Boston Red Sox World Championship team, and the baby-faced Bambino standing fourth from left appears poised to unleash his curse upon an unsuspecting New England populace. Joining Bill Buckner in Red Sox infamy is Harry Frazee standing at far left, the man whose theatrical aspirations set the stage for almost nine decades of suering. At lower right youll nd the attribution to Carl Horner, the most noteworthy and collectible photographer of the Dead Ball Era whose works are reproduced upon dozens of early tobacco cards including the fabled Honus Wagner T206. So with the subject and the creator each representing the pinnacle of desirability, it only makes sense that the geography of the photos derivation continues in the trend. The 21x27 image, mounted to a heavy cardboard backing, kept hope alive through a Biblical plague of heartbreaking near misses as it hung on a wall at Fenway with the hopes of inspiring a return to the glory years. The wear and tear expected of public display is kept to a minimum though, with some minor staining and scattered small abrasions doing nothing to diminish the thunderous aesthetics. The photos production clearly dates to the prewar period, likely within a short period of time after the 1918 Series. Unquestionably one of the most impressive and important Red Sox display pieces to surface on the hobbys auction block in recent memory. Starting Bid: $5,000

    81221 1919 World Series Game Three Ticket Stub, PSA Authentic. Honest Dickie Kerr lived up to his nickname this day, pitching nine shutout innings to give the doomed Black Sox their rst Fall Classic victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Admittedly the stub from that rst Comiskey Park contest has seen better days, but the heavy wear cannot detract from the enormous historical importance of the rare relic. Encapsulated by PSA, Authentic. Starting Bid: $200

    81223 1919 World Series Game One Ticket Stub. The star Chicago White Sox pitcher Eddie Cicotte intentionally beaned the rst Reds batter he faced on October 1, 1919, signaling to the underworld that the x was on and dooming himself, Shoeless Joe and a half dozen more to baseball ignominy. The presented stub for this most consequential date in Dead Ball history exhibits expected edge and corner wear but presents very well nonetheless, as indicated by our catalog photography. One of the most collectible tickets in the hobby, from the games darkest day. Starting Bid: $375

    81222 1919 World Series Game Five Ticket Stub, PSA VG 3. Conspiratorial pitcher Lefty Williams and his Reds counterpart Hod Eller were both brilliant through ve innings this day, neither allowing a runner past rst base. But some questionable elding by Hap Felsch cleared the way for four Cincinnati runs in the fourth, and the visitors added a fth in the ninth to complete a ve to nothing shutout. This rare stub was tucked into the pocket of a stunned White Sox fan on October 6, 1919 as the American League Champs moved to within a game of Series defeat. Some minor paper loss at the right edge accounts for the rather stingy grade, as the stub otherwise presents very well. Encapsulated by PSA, VG 3.. Starting Bid: $500

    81224 1920 World Series Game Six Ticket Stub, PSA VG 3. Just a day after Bill Wambsganss pulled o one of the most famous plays in World Series history, an unassisted triple play, the Indians were back at their home Dunn Field with a three games to two lead over the visiting Brooklyn Robins. Presented is an extraordinarily rare stub for that pitching duel, a one to nothing victory for the Indians to move within a single game of the franchises rst World Championship. Some very light creases account for a PSA grade well below its visual strength. Encapsulated by PSA, VG 3. Starting Bid: $200

    81226 1922 Babe Ruth Photograph by Bain. The Babe at rst base? It may appear to be the case, but the text on back clearly states Ruth, outelder of Yankees, Sept. 23, 1922. Joining this identication is Photo. by Bain News Service stamping, establishing this shot as the work of noted baseball photographer George Bain, one of the most collectible names in the hobby. A simple Ruth in the upper margin appears to be within the print, which measures 4.75x6.5 in size. A very minor bend in the western border is the only issue to note. Starting Bid: $375

This historic pin was proudly sported in the press box of the infant Yankee Stadium at Games One, Three and Five, and then clearly hidden away in a safe place for decades afterward. Just the lightest tarnishing to the face of the pin suggests its advanced age, with the enamel free of aws. Threaded post and original Dieges & Clust stamped nut on verso. Starting Bid: $375

    81228 1924 Worlds Colored Championship Ocial Program, 1st Negro League World Series! Extraordinary rarity is the rst to surface in the collecting hobby since a considerably inferior example was sold as part of the 1999 Barry Halper auction. It derives from the family of Ed Bolden, who founded and owned the Hilldale Club of the 1910s and 1920s, and the Philadelphia Stars of the 1930s-50s. His rst club, the Champions of the Eastern Colored League, would fall victim to the Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro National League by a tally of ve games to four (and one tie on account of darkness) in this inaugural Negro League World Series. The contest was as star-studded as any ever waged during the days of segregated ball, with three Hilldale players (Biz Mackey, Judy Johnson and Louis Santop) and two Monarchs players (Bullet Rogan and Jose Mendez). Monarchs team owner J.L. Wilkinson is likewise today a Cooperstown enshrinee. The program is surprisingly large and detailed for its Negro League derivation, with its twenty-four pages packed with player bios and photographs, and matching team photos of the warring factions at center. An unmarked scorecard appears at interior front cover. The inside rear cover notes the dates and four locations of the Series, indicating that this program was intended for use at each of the games. It must be noted however that the attendance at each game ranged from a minimum 584 (Game 4) to a maximum of 8,885 (Game 6), so the supply of these programs was never large, even at the time of creation. The rst half of the twentieth century was an era of considerable hardship for the African-American population, and its little surprise that little memorabilia from the Negro Leagues have survived to the modern hobby. The stunning condition of this hugely important relic, with light handling wear to the cover the only issue bearing mention. You can bet the farm that there is no superior specimen on earth, and its likely that all surviving examples could be counted on a single hand. Add the ideal provenance from the family of the Hilldale owner and this is unquestionably one of the most desirable artifacts from segregated ball ever to reach the public auction block. Letter of provenance from the Ed Bolden estate. Starting Bid: $2,500

    81229 1924 World Series Panoramic Photograph with President Coolidge. Extraordinarily rare and desirable photograph stands among the nest of its endangered breed, both for its expanded dimensions and its superb condition. A true photographic work of art, the image provides a awlessly executed study of the combatants in this famous Fall Classic which earned Walter Johnson and our nations capital a rst and only World Championship. Issued only to players and VIPs, these oversized images were already rare upon the date of production, with the oversized dimensions and delicate construction conspiring to thin the ranks considerably over the passing decades since. Just a slight hint of scrolling along the top edge must be noted in terms of condition, but you must look closely to spot it. We invite interested bidders to examine the ultra-high resolution images online to see for themselves. President Coolidge stands at dead center of the image in the rst row of the grandstand, framed by warring Hall of Fame managers Bucky Harris and John McGraw, though the latter had taken a professional leave of absence for health reasons, ceding control of the club to his former 1894 Baltimore Orioles teammate and the third Hall of Fame manager in the image, Hughie Jennings. Other Cooperstown enshrinees pictured include Walter Johnson, Sam Rice, umpire Bill Klem, Hack Wilson, George Kelly, Frank Frisch, Travis Jackson, Ross Youngs and, over Coolidges right shoulder, a white-haired Kenesaw Mountain Landis. The wide white borders were left intact by the printer, expanding the 9.5x42 image area by ve horizontal inches. Framed size is 11x48. Starting Bid: $1,500

    81230 1920s Black Betsy Spalding Decal Bat. While it may not be as singularly historic as the true Black Betsy auctioned by Heritage in August for over half a million dollars, this Spalding homage to Shoeless Joes lumber is still a collecting jewel, boasting the dark toning and hefty dimensions of the age. Spalding Black Betsy Model is announced at the center brand, and the important barrel decal is darkened with age but still over 90% complete. Some minor checking of the grain only adds to the vintage appeal. A rock-solid example of a highly coveted retail model bat. Starting Bid: $500 81231 1926 Bob OFarrell St. Louis Cardinals Presentational Pocket Watch. Gorgeous fourteen-karat white gold Illinois open face pocket watch served as a symbol of gratitude to starting catcher Robert (Bob) Farrell for his service in the successful capture of the National League ag. The elegant engraved inscription on verso reads Presented to R.A. OFarrell of the St. Louis Cardinals Baseball Club, National League Champions by St. Louis Fans, October 7, 1926. Check your baseball calendar and youll nd that this corresponds with Game Five of the Fall Classic, an extra innings three to two victory for Babe Ruth and the visiting Yanks. The watch does not appear to be currently functional but its pristine physical condition would suggest that a technician could revive its ticking pulse. A splendid artifact presented the day after Ruths three-home run performance for a hospitalized kid named Johnny Sylvester, and three days before G.C. Alexanders clutch bases-loaded strike out of Tony Lazzeri to clinch the Series. Watch measures 1.75 in diameter. Starting Bid: $750

    81232 1927 Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig Oversized Culver Service Photograph. Splendid portrait of these legendary Yankees dating from their greatest season is made all the more appealing by the appearance of Christy Walsh at center, recognized as the rst sports agent. He is rather nattily dressed in a double breasted suit while Gehrig and Ruth wear the barnstorming uniforms of the Larrupin Lous and Bustin Babes respectively. Edge chipping cannot derail the tremendous appeal, nor can staining and tape on verso. Culver Service stamping. 10x12. Conrmed as Type 1 by PSA/DNA. CGC grade: Good. Starting Bid: $375

    81234 1928 Babe Ruth Photograph by Thorne. Denitive Ruth image bears stamping on verso from Thorne Photo, the ocial photographer of the New York Yankees. Classic spring training image nds the Babe taking cuts in casual garb betting the tropical climate of St. Petersburg. The 8x10 image presents wonderfully with only the lightest of edge and corner wear to suggest its age. A perfect shot to mat and frame with your best Ruth autograph. Starting Bid: $200

    81233 1927 World Series Ticket Stubs Lot of 3. The greatest New York Yankees season in franchise history came to its tting conclusion with a dominating four-game sweep of the National League Championship Pittsburgh Pirates, just another in a long line of victims for the fabled Murderers Row. Presented is a single Game Two ticket for the nal Pittsburgh home game, and a pair for Game Three back in the Bronx. Each shows a degree of handling wear and evidence of scrapbook removal, but these small concerns cannot overwhelm the enormous historical appeal. Starting Bid: $375

    81235 1934 World Series Game Three Full Ticket, PSA Good 2. Dizzy Deans younger brother Paul (or Da y, if you prefer) made his rst start of the Fall Classic this day, pitching eight innings of shutout ball before surrendering a single inconsequential run in the ninth to complete the four to one victory for the Cardinals. Presented is a rare unused ticket to that October 5th contest, presenting far better than its technical Good 2 grade, which is predicated primarily on the tape stains and minor paper loss on verso from scrapbook removal. Encapsulated by PSA, Good 2. Starting Bid: $200

    81236 1935 World Series Program (Chicago) & Game Four Ticket Stub. The sixth time was a charm for the Detroit Tigers, who had never claimed a World Championship despite four previous American League pennants (1907, 1908, 1909, 1934). General Crowder was the winning pitcher this day, October 5, 1934, extending the Tigers Series lead to three games to one. The program exhibits creasing from having been folded lengthwise but is otherwise quite nice with an unmarked center scorecard. The ticket stub exhibits back damage from scrapbook removal and a bit of creasing but presents well regardless. A ne matched pair, essential to the collection of any serious Motor City baseball fan. Starting Bid: $250

    81237 1941 Herbert Hoover American League Guest Pass. One might assume that simply stating Im the former President of the United States of America would gain any ex-White House resident entry to the ballpark, but apparently the thirty-rst Prez had to ash this pass to catch DiMaggio and Williams during their most noteworthy season. Herbert Hoover and Party is artfully handwritten on the yellow card stock pass, which remains housed in its original leather wallet. Pass exhibits expected wear but nothing which could be properly characterized as damage. Starting Bid: $250

    81238 1942 Negro League World Series Scorecard. A true battle of the titans, the 1942 Colored World Series pitted Satchel Paiges Kansas City Monarchs against Josh Gibsons Homestead Grays, a series swept by the former with victories as Grith Stadium, Forbes Field, Yankee Stadium and Shibe Park over a three week period. Just fourteen thousand attended the clinching fourth game in Philadelphia, where this four-page scorecard was tucked into a fans pocket. Heavy vertical creasing runs through all four pages, featuring photos of Paige and Gibson on front and back cover respectively, and unmarked scorecards inside. Paige arrived at the ballpark late this day, attributing his tardiness to a speeding ticket, immediately relieving starting pitcher Joe Matchett and holding the Grays hitless and scoreless through the nal ve and a third innings for the victory. A dening moment in Paiges great career, commemorated by the only scorecard weve ever encountered from this Championship-clinching game. Starting Bid: $500

    81241 1940s Welcome St. Louis Browns Huge Banner. Sadly for the current residents of Baltimore, the relocated Browns franchise now known as the Orioles has adopted the theme of hopelessness that kept its predecessor in the American League basement for the overwhelming majority of its existence. But the Browns were lovable losers and enjoy a fervent collecting base today, almost six decades since leaving St. Louis solely to Cardinal rule. Our belief is that this banner awaited the club at one of their spring training destinations, or perhaps for Opening Day festivities at their home ballpark. The massive canvas banner measures ten feet in width and thirty-nine inches in height, with all lettering and decorations very professionally applied in brown and orange tackle twill. Condition is marvelous, quite a departure from what one typically encounters in banners of comparable size and age. A visually arresting piece for the collector with wall space to spare.

    81247 Late 1940s Stan Musial Game Used Fielders Glove. Cultured collectors are well aware that elders gloves are the toughest of all Major League baseball game used memorabilia, and the reason for this is quite simple. Even when all players were issued two home and two road uniforms they were still far more plentiful than gloves, as players tended to use just one glove per season, and often the same one for multiple seasons. Such certainly appears to be the case with the presented Hall of Fame-quality specimen, as it exhibits phenomenal use from Stan the Man, dating to the rst half of his storied career. The left-handed Rawlings T70 RY rst basemans mitt is the companys top of the line professional model, the lack of player endorsement on the glove a further indication of its non-retail status. The claw style perfectly matches an (included) image of the St. Louis Cardinals legend elding a high throw in a photo Musial himself dates to 1948 along with his 10/10 blue sharpie autograph, and is likely the same glove exactly. The included letter of opinion from MEARS (which is the only Musial glove they have ever evaluated) makes mention of a letter from Michael Sessoms, which outlines how he obtained this glove from Mr. A.P. Strelick, who received the glove in the late 1940s/ early 1950s. Mr. Strelick was related to Mr. Peizer Nagy, who was married to Helen Labash, whose sister was Lillian Labash Musial, Stan Musials wife. Unfortunately this letter has been lost. A second letter of opinion from leading glove expert Joe Phillips likewise accompanies the lot. A 9/10 black sharpie signature from Musial on the thumb of the glove, acquired decades later, completes the package. LOA from MEARS. LOA from Joe Phillips.

Absolutely magical artifact from the most glorious October in Flatbush history was posted on the exterior wall of the Ebbets Field ballpark as the Bums nally got the better of the Yanks.

Unfortunately, in 1957, just one of these awards was issued for the entirety of Major League Baseball, and a guy named Hank Aaron edged him by a tally of forty-four to forty-two.

Major League Baseballs own Manifest Destiny was realized on April 15, 1958 as the newly relocated Dodgers and Giants franchises met in the rst Big League game ever played west of the Rocky Mountains.

Ruths pace is factory printed, with blank spaces for the exploits of Mantle and Maris above. The display is split at center and axed with vintage tape, but it is unclear whether it was issued as such, or whether this repairs a clean tear at the fold line. Otherwise the display presents perfectly, with no stains, tears or creasing (other than original storage folds) to note. Size is 11.5x70. Original envelope, asking Will There Be A New Champion? exhibits some handling wear but is still solid and complete. Starting Bid: $200 81264 1961 Shooting for 61 in 61 Oversized Pinback.

Third is the pinbacks vintage, deriving from the height of one of the most spellbinding stories in baseball history, the dual assault on the Babes single season home run record.

    81280 Early to Mid-1990s Roger Clemens Game Worn Fielders Glove. The greatest pitcher of all time? Sports historians are always reluctant to assign such a label to a modern/living athlete, and Clemens has admittedly made his share of enemies, but it would be hard to tour the Rockets trophy room and not give the matter some thought. Seven Cy Young Awards are pretty shiny. Presented is a well-used Wilson Pro Select A2000 worn on the mound during the heart of Clemens Hall of Fame career (yes, he must be inducted). His name is embroidered on the thumb, and the sheepskin wrist lining and pocket of the glove show strong wear. Glove expert Joe Phillips conrms that Wilson only applied Clemens name to gloves delivered to him, and that this PS4 model rst debuted in the early 1990s. A dening artifact from one of the most decorated pitchers in baseball history. LOA from Joe Phillips. Starting Bid: $500

    81282 1997 Cleveland Indians American League Championship Ring. A heartbreaker for the Indians, who surrendered the tying run in the bottom of the World Series Game Sevens ninth inning and the walk-o in the eleventh to the World Champion Florida Marlins. This consolation prize was awarded to a front oce worker in Cleveland and survives in Mint condition.

    81281 1993 Arlington Stadium Game Used Pitching Rubber, Nolan Ryans Final Season. Historic artifact is one of two rubbers used on the Arlington Stadium mound during the twenty-seventh and nal season of Nolan Ryans spectacular Hall of Fame career. Though the last of his record 5,714 career strikeouts was recorded on the road, there is little question but that at least several of those nal forty-six Ks notched in 1993 were red from the rubbers surface. The rubber is coated with scars from pitchers spikes and orange clay with a handwritten Reg Sea and some form of inventory code. Included is a letter on team letterhead from the Director of Community Relations for the Rangers certifying that this rubber was sold at auction during the Texas Rangers Ultimate Sports Auction on November 28, 1993. Team letter of provenance. Starting Bid: $500

    81283 2003 Rafael Palmeiro 500th Home Run Game Used Bases (3). Perhaps the most underrated slugger of the modern era, Ra ys 500 homers and doubles, 3,000 hits and 1,500 RBIs puts him in the rarest of company alongside just Hank Aaron, Willie Mays and Eddie Murray. Presented is a trio of bases that shared the eld with the Texas Rangers star on his most celebrated day. On May 11, 2003, Palmeiro launched a seventh inning oering from Cleveland Indians hurler Dave Elder to gain entrance to the 500 Home Run Club at his home ballpark in Arlington.

    81284 2004 St. Louis Cardinals National League Championship Ring. Not even the Curse of the Bambino could save the birds from the Red Sox juggernaut, which rst shocked the Yankees by surviving a three-games-to-nothing ALCS decit before sweeping the World Series to end eighty-six years of misery. Consolation prizes dont get much prettier than this, however, earned by a front oce worker for his service to the top dogs of the Senior Circuit. A ruby logo bird is oset by a sea of real diamonds on the face, ringed by the words National League Champions Cardinals. Recipients surname Walsh appears on left shank above another team logo, while right shank announces 2004, 16th World Series, 105-57. Interior band is stamped Intergold 10K and measures to a size ten. Original wood and glass display box is included. NRMT-MT. Starting Bid: $2,500

    81285 2005 Houston Astros National League Championship Ring. Too nice. That was the ruling from Major League Baseball, which decreed that the runner-up in the World Series should not receive rings superior to those issued to the Champs. So this fourteen karat gold sample by the Houston based Intergold remained just that, with the nal product considerably more subdued. But one lucky collector can still enjoy this ne craftsmanship, and the sea of real diamonds that surrounds a ruby logo star on the face. National League Champions Astros rings the perimeter. The team owners surname McLane appears upon left shank above logos of the Astros and National League. Right shank pictures the home ballpark and the logo of the Series below a bold 2005. Weight is just over fty-ve grams. Band is size thirteen, with Intergold 14K stamped inside. Starting Bid: $2,000 81286 2005 University of Texas Longhorns NCAA Baseball Championship Ring. With enough ash to make Mr. T blush, this massive symbol of the Horns collegiate baseball supremacy boasts ve and a half carats of shimmering diamonds on its face, the ring tipping the scales at just over one hundred grams. The ten karat gold ring is actually a refashioning of the original, amplifying the bling factor considerably in anticipation that the jewelry would be a display in the new College Baseball Hall of Fame in Austin, but the plans fell through. The result is the most ostentatious (and valuable) 2005 Longhorns baseball ring on earth. Dual team logos share space with a herd of diamonds on the face, sandwiched between National Champions text. Left shank pictures the Championship trophy in miniature with the text XII Texas Champs, NCAA, Teamwork. Right reads Garrido 2005, NCAA Baseball, Coach. Size is 11.75, condition NRMT-MT.

    81287 2011 Hideki Matsui 500th Home Run Baseball. He earned the nickname Godzilla in his native Japan, targeting fast balls with destructive powers reminiscent of his reptilian counterpart. In ten seasons with the Yomiuri Giants, Matsui clubbed 332 home runs, ably representing the number 55 he wore on his jersey to signify the single-season home run record held by legendary countryman Sadaharu Oh. The most famous slugger in Japan when his contract was purchased by the New York Yankees in 2003, the lefty long ball artist would serve up what is arguably the most signicant Bronx bomb of the new millennium, a 2009 World Series Game Six blast that would prove to be the Championship winner. Heritage was fortunate to be chosen by the lucky fan on the other end of that Series clout to present the home run ball at auction, with the $23,900 generated by its sale in April 2010 directed to charitable eorts in the wake of the devastating Haiti earthquake. Here we present a baseball which is arguably the most signicant ever launched from the lumber of this iconic Japanese superstar, the 168th of his Major League Baseball career which carried his grand trans-Pacic total to an even 500. The fellow on the receiving end of this Matsui drive was fteen year old Michael Schultes who caught the ball after it bounced o the right eld foul pole to his seat deep down the rst base line. His notarized letter detailing the events is included. Whereas Christian Lopez, the Yankees fan who caught Derek Jeters 3,000th hit a week earlier, was given tens of thousands of dollars in tickets and memorabilia for that balls return, Michael was oered a signed Matsui ball in trade. Film footage from the day will show As rst base coach Tye Waller attempting to orchestrate the deal with blue-shirted Michael and his father. After refusing the deal, Michael was escorted to the concession area of Comerica Park and interviewed by four Japanese reporters through an interpreter. By the time he returned to his seat, the chaos had subsided. The father and son nished watching the game and walked back to their car unhindered. Ironclad documentation comes via three photographs from the day. A pair capture the negotiations between Michael, his father and Wallerone shot from the eld side by a news photographer, the other from a few rows behind in the stands. A third photo nds Michael ashing a big smile as he holds the ball in his right hand and his ticket (Section 113, Row 12, Seat 16) from the July 20, 2011 game at Comerica in his left. A brief article in the San Francisco Gate identies Michael by name as the balls owner, and closes with the sentence, Waller said he was prepared to oer two signed Matsui balls but realized the fans werent giving up the prize. Heritage is pleased at yet another chance to present an enormously signicant Hideki Matsui home run baseball to our valued international clientele. We expect the bidding interest will validate the Schultes decision to pass on the oered deal. While Matsui became the rst slugger to reach 500 homers in a career divided between two continents, that factor does not diminish the watershed accomplishment nor the enormous collecting appeal of this denitive relic. Photographic documentation. Notarized letter of provenance from consignor. Starting Bid: $5,000

    The Paddy OConnor Collection.


    The following sixteen lots derive from the personal collection of Paddy OConnor, a native of County Kerry, Ireland who quickly discovered an aptitude for our National Pastime upon his immigration to the States. OConnors baseball career included brief terms in the American, National and Federal Leagues, and most notably membership with the World Championship 1909 Pittsburgh Pirates. The material oered here is consigned directly by the OConnor family and makes its hobby debut in the pages to follow.

    81292 1909 Pittsburgh Pirates World Championship Pin Presented to Paddy OConnor. Before you start questioning our eyesight or sanity, allow us to stipulate that we are well aware this shiny little bauble is a ring now, but thats not how it began life. One need only refer to past salesHall of Fame manager Fred Clarkes pin, for instanceto see that this is indeed the one and only Championship award presented to members of Honus Wagners Pirates squad for their defeat of Ty Cobbs Detroit Tigers. But, in a most romantic gesture from the Bucs back-up catcher, OConnor commissioned a jeweler to transform his pin into the delicate ladys ring you see before you, a gift for his wife. The design is well worn but still very clearly announces its intention of identifying its owner as Worlds Champions 1909. A genuine diamond rests at center. The simple, delicate ring measures to size six. Though slightly altered from its original state, the trinkets status as one of the very earliest World Series awards remains compelling and unaected. True Pirates treasure, to be sure. Starting Bid: $2,000

    81293 1909 Forbes Field (Pittsburgh Pirates) Panoramic Photograph. Pittsburg can now boast of the worlds nest baseball park, manager Fred Clarke told reporters in 1909. It is a marvel of which people in other cities can have no adequate conception until they come here and see it. An engineering tour de force at the time of its construction, the new home of the Pittsburgh Pirates boasted concrete and steel construction rather than the standard wood design of contemporary stadia, and it featured the rst three-tier seating architecture in ballpark history. Surely this image was commissioned by Dreyfuss to capture the brilliance of the newborn edice, aording the viewer the next best thing to a center eld seat during that rst Pirates World Championship season. The image captures game actionnote the blur of a runner between rst and secondand measures 5.5x19 in size. The image is dated and attributed at lower right: Photo & Copyright 1909 by Chautauqua Photographic, Co. Pittsburg Pa. The cardboard mount expands nal dimensions to 9.75x24. A corner chip at bottom right has been repaired with tape, and represents the bulk of condition concerns. The image itself is free of any notable aws. Starting Bid: $500

    81294 1909 World Series Panoramic Photographic Display. The two greatest titans of the Dead Ball era came face to face for the rst and only time as Ty Cobbs Detroit Tigers traveled to Forbes Field to visit Honus Wagners Pittsburgh Pirates for Game One of the sixth World Series on October 8, 1909. Cobb was often quoted to say that Wagner was the one man he couldnt intimidate, and the Bucs would ultimately win this rst game as well as the seventh and deciding contest. This fascinating trip back in time provides photographic images of each pennant-winning squad below a spectators eye view of the games action from an upper deck vantage point behind home plate, Cobb himself at bat. Originally issued as a supplement to Pittsburghs Illustrated Weekly, this tremendous (14x39) display piece is one of the few to survive the passing century, and it does so with remarkable NRMT condition (though note that the glass of the frame is cracked at left). Included are a pair of October 16, 1909 issues of the periodical that issued the panoramaour suspicion is that it was removed from one of them. A July issue of the oversized publication is here as well. A splendid display piece from one of the combatants in that important Series. Starting Bid: $500

    81295 1909 Opening of Forbes Field Panoramic Supplement. A spectators eye view from the right eld bleachers of the rst contest at Pittsburghs Forbes Field is provided the viewer of this tough supplement issued by The Index, Pittsburghs Illustrated Weekly just after the June 30th event. The impressive 14x40 size of the supplement is enhanced by a simple framing job which expands the nal dimensions to 16.5x41. Below the panoramic image of the eld of play are small photographic vignettes picturing the eventual World Champions of the 1909 season, most notably the great Honus Wagner pictured in the pose utilized for his famous T206 trading card. Supplement bears original folds as issued but otherwise survives with remarkable success, displaying no aws worthy of note. Third party shipping required. Starting Bid: $375

    81296 1909 Pittsburgh Pirates Celluloid Mirror. Dating from the year of the Series that brought Ty Cobb and Honus Wagner onto the same diamond for the only time in history, this ne celluloid boasts oval sepia portraits of nineteen members of the victorious side. Prominently featured are Wagner, in an image recalling his famed T206 card, and Hall of Fame manager Fred C. Clarke. The rare relic survives with remarkable success, the image side presenting as a legitimate NRMT-MT. The slightest hint of silvering to the reective verso barely merits a mention. The nest of its kind. Measures 2.25 in diameter. Starting Bid: $150

    81298 1909 World Series Game One Used Baseball. If presented with a time machine able to transport us back to any Fall Classic in history, the 1909 edition, which represented the sole meeting in combat of Dead Ball legends Honus Wagner and Ty Cobb, would be a nalist in our decision-making process for sure. This ancient sphere was kept as a souvenir by another participant in that early Series, and we would assume it is OConnors fountain pen ink on the side panel which recounts Oct. 8-09, Pittsburg 4 Detroit 1, 1st game World Series. The ball is an ONL model with fantastic bold red Harry C. Pulliam presidential stamping on the side panel, an extremely rare ball in its own right, its October action aside. The ball exhibits the expected visuals of a century-old relic but still presents well with all notations and stamping surviving in legible form. Starting Bid: $500

    81297 1909 Pittsburgh Pirates Team Supplement by Carl Horner. Colorful supplement issued by the Pittsburg Press utilizes the classic photography of Carl Horner (note that Wagner appears in his million dollar T206 pose!) to celebrate the Bucs capture of the National League ag. The pieces original owner Paddy OConnor appears as the portrait vignette labeled number 19. Upon close inspection some light creases are discovered, but the overall aesthetics are rst class from any reasonable viewing distance. The supplement is housed in its original wooden frame with a label from OConnors Springeld, Massachusetts hometown. Full dimensions are 14x21. This is the rst example weve encountered of this rare piece, and its almost certainly the nest of any possible surviving supply. Starting Bid: $375

    81299 1910 Pittsburgh Pirates Team Cabinet Photograph. For the rst sixteen seasons of the twentieth century, the Pittsburgh Pirates called Hot Springs its spring training home, and here we nd the recently crowned World Champions of 1909 reunited on the steps of their Arkansas boarding house as they prepared their title defense. Hall of Famers Honus Wagner and Fred Clarke are instantly recognizable among the thirty folks pictured within this gorgeous silver gelatin image, as well as original owner of the photo and Pirates teammate Paddy OConnor. The image measures 7x9 on a 10x12 cardboard mount which exhibits mild edge wear and a corner bend at upper right. The image itself reveals a couple minor age spots but overall presents marvelously. Starting Bid: $500

    81300 1910-13 Ocial National League (Lynch) Baseball. Extraordinarily rare sphere is the rst ever to cross our desks, manufactured during the brief three years of Thomas Lynchs National League presidency between the ending of John Heydlers rst term in oce in 1909 and the beginning of Teners reign in 1914. The ball is clearly game used, but the side panel stamping remains bright and bold. A wonderful relic from the days when Matty and Wagner were dominating the Senior Circuit. Starting Bid: $200

    81301 1915 Pittsburgh Rebels (Federal League) Cabinet Photograph. The rogue Federal League lasted just two years before its declaration of bankruptcy, but the repercussions resonated far beyond, ever so slightly loosening the death grip management had maintained over labor. One of many American and National Leaguers to jump ship to the Feds was Paddy OConnor, who is pictured with his ttingly named Rebels teammates, and from whose collection this image derives. The sepia-toned 7x9 photo is axed to a 10x12 cardboard mount advertising an Indiana health resort where the team apparently trained for some period of time. The bulk of the wear is conned to the mount, leaving the central focus of the image unmolested. This is the rst example of this image weve ever seen, and given the intense rarity of any Federal League memorabilia, we wouldnt be surprised if its the last as well. Starting Bid: $500

    81302 1915 Pittsburgh Rebels Federal League Team Panoramic Photograph. Though the team was named for player/manager Rebel Oakes, the moniker was tting for the Federal League at large, which gave the professional baseball establishment a vigorous shake despite just two years of existence. That brief lifespan has left few artifacts to be enjoyed by the modern collecting community, but this ne panoramic from the collection of catcher Paddy OConnor should turn some heads. The team stands shoulder to shoulder along the left side of the ineld in this 10x20.5 image, marked Photo by Murphy & Farrar at lower right. Scattered creases have turned into tears in a few places, but when attened and framed the image will still present quite nicely. Considering the intense rarity of Federal League panoramic photography, such condition concerns must be forgiven. Starting Bid: $375

    81303 1915 Pittsburgh Rebels Federal League Panoramic Supplement. The two-season shelf life of the Federal League and the near century since its dissolution have had the expected eect upon available supply of related artifacts, and here we nd one of the rare survivors. And what a survivor it is! This visually arresting panoramic paper supplement promotes one of the nal games in League history, a September 25, 1915 meeting between the Pittsburgh Rebels and the Newark Pepper. The display provides a mesmerizing spectators eye view of the Pittsburgh ballpark up top and individual photographic vignettes of the team members below. Separation at the folds accounts for the bulk of condition issues, but when laid at (and, ideally, linen mounted) the worst of the faults would be eliminated. This is the rst example weve encountered of this piece, and we wouldnt be surprised if its the last as well. Size is 17x42. Starting Bid: $500

    81304 1923 Hartford Senators Program Featuring Lou Gehrig. Extraordinarily rare program is the rst weve ever seen boasting the great Lou Gehrigs minor league membership. And boasting is the right word, as the opening page boldly proclaims, Columbia Lou Gehrig, Hartfords Home Run King. The unscored eight-page program lists Gehrig batting clean-up and elding rst base. Interestingly, fellow future Hall of Famer Chief Bender is listed as a pitcher for the visiting Baltimore team, his nest days behind him rather than ahead. The same could be said of the program itself, which is quite ragged and partially held together with tape, including the rear cover which features a team image including the nineteen-year old Iron Horse and manager Paddy OConnor, from whose estate this piece derives. Included is a 1928 Hartford Boosters Club membership card issued to OConnors wife and picturing both Paddy himself and Gehrig, now a star Yankee. We must report that Gehrigs signature at the bottom is a stamp. The card is G-VG. Starting Bid: $300

    81305 1928 Lou Gehrig Signed Photograph. One of the nest Gehrig signed photos weve ever encountered comes with ironclad provenance to boot, deriving from the family of the ballplayer to whom it is inscribed. Apparently gifted to OConnor during spring training exercises following Gehrigs American League MVP and World Championship 1927 season, the photo is inscribed, To my real, true & sincere friend, Pat OConner (sic), Most Sincerely, Lou Gehrig, March 07, 1928. Gehrigs black fountain pen ink survives with marvelous 9/10 boldness, and the 6.5x9 photo presents awlessly, thanks in part to a heavy cardstock mounting likely applied decades ago.

    81306 1928 New York Yankees Team Signed Baseball. Somebodys going to get a bargain here, because this is a genuine World Championship team ball, almost the same squad as the illustrious 1927 Yanks, with very bold autographs from many of the greatest names of the era. Ruth is 9/10 on the sweet spot, and Gehrig is 7/10 on the side panel. Other notables: Durocher (9/10), Combs (6/10), Coveleski (8/10), Durst (8/10), Collins (7/10), Zachary (8/10), Bengough (8/10), Meusel (8/10). Even Ruths good luck charm, the hunchbacked bat boy Eddie Bennett, is present among the twenty-four genuine Yankee signatures. The bad news? A young kid apparently decided to add some names himself, and these include a few Pennocks, Lazzeri, Huggins and Hoyt (he knew his future Hall of Famers, it would appear). An illegible scribble over the Reach stamping is the kids as well. We see the glass as half-full though, three-quarters really. A boldly penned team ball from one of the greatest dynasties in baseball history. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $1,000

    81307 Circa 1930 Lou Gehrig Signed Congratulatory Card. A round of applause in the form of a greeting card from the Gehrigs to Paddys daughter Elizabeth OConnor on the occasion of her recent graduation. Elizabeth and Lou were a romantic item at one time, and it is clearly the legendary rst basemans handwriting beneath the printed sentiment. The green fountain pen ink survives with awless intensity, and the card itself is likewise lacking any condition caveats. A simple yet enormously appealing keepsake from Gehrigs o-eld life.

Trio of panoramic team shots derive from the cedar chest of Hank Severeid, who appears with his teammates in each of the images.

    81310 1922 Hank Severeid Presentational Pocket Watch A strong season behind the plate for the St. Louis Browns catcher earned him this tangible expression of appreciation from the fans. The classic Illinois gold-lled pocket watch is attractively engraved on case back To Henry Severeid from Citizens of St. Louis 1922. Watch is not currently operational, but we suspect a servicing would remedy that small concern. The watch is otherwise in ne condition, with only minor handling wear. Attached to the watch is a yellow and pink gold lled chain (14 long) from which a yellow gold baseball fob dangles. This fob is engraved American League Champions 1926 from Story City Fans, a nice gesture from Severeids hometown in recognition of his service to the 1926 Yanks. Consigned by the Severeid family. Starting Bid: $375

    81311 1926 New York Yankees Team Signed Baseball. Though its not quite as ne as teammate Lou Gehrigs personal example which commanded over $130,000 in our August Platinum Night event, this OAL (Johnson) ball from Hank Severeids estate includes a rare Hall of Famer that Lous ball didnt. The rare Miller Huggins (4/10) is one of twenty-six autographs commemorating the American League Championship team including notables Ruth (4/10), Gehrig (2/10), Pennock (6/10), Combs (1.5/10), Lazzeri (4/10), Pennock (5/10), Shocker (5/10), Bengough (7/10) and the rare Fred Merkle (9/10), who played in just a single game for the 26 Yanks. Two panels of the ball are quite light while two are signicantly bolder, accounting for the rather wide range in autograph quality, but all but a few are readily legible. Still a tough and highly desirable ball once touched by the most iconic Yanks of all. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $750

    81312 1930s Hank Severeid Post-Career Game Bat. The ancient typed page axed to the barrel of this signature model Hillerich & Bradsby tells a thrilling storystating that this is the bat Severeid used to hit a double o of Jesse Haines in the seventh game of the 1926 World Seriesbut bat expert John Taube nds that this attribution is in error. Apparently this is instead a post-career bat used during the former member of the Yankees American League Championship team as a coach. Heavy use is evident, particularly in the checking of the grain on the back barrel. Original grip tape on knob. Length thirty-six inches. Consigned by the Severeid family. Starting Bid: $150

    81313 1936 Benny Frey Game Worn Cincinnati Reds Jersey with Pants. Extraordinarily rare jersey style is the rst weve ever encountered in the collecting hobby, utilized just two seasons by the Cincinnati Reds franchise (1936-37). This particular example was issued to and worn by the troubled pitcher Benny Frey, who would take his own life the year after he wore the shirt when an arm injury left him relegated to the minors. The jersey is constructed from an unusual rather coarse ber, lighter than the typical annel uniforms of the day. A chenille scripted Reds stands above the heart, with a red felt number 22 applied to verso. Embroidered directly into lower left front tail is Frey 1936. Interior collar holds manufacturers tagging, reading Goldsmith Sports Equipment, Cincinnati, Ohio and Palm Beach. One button is missing from the front and some staining on left sleeve must be noted, but the jersey is otherwise very attractive, shows solid wear and presents very well. The matching pants lack manufacturers tagging but are embroidered Weaver 38 at interior waistband, surely a reference to 1938 Reds pitcher Jim Weaver. The uniform was apparently a hand-me-down to Severeid, who was coaching in the late 1930s in the Texas League and from whose estate the uniform derives. An ancient tag with a handwritten attribution to Severeid remains attached to the jersey front. LOA from Heritage Auctions. Starting Bid: $1,000

    81314 1943-45 Joe Cronin Game Worn Boston Red Sox Jersey. Home white annel was sported at Fenway Park by the future Hall of Fame player, manager and executive during the war years, as the patriotic Health patch on the left sleeve attests. This later text-free version of the patch further narrows the potential range by a year. The jersey derives from the personal collection of Hank Severeid, who scouted for the Sox from 1944 until his passing in 1968 at age seventy-seven. The classic Red Sox font arches gently across the chest in red and navy felt, with a similarly constructed number 4 applied at verso. All identiers are original and unaltered. Proper Tim McAulie [size] 46 label appears at interior collar. The jersey exhibits heavy wear, with a team repair just before the S in Sox on the chest. Some foxing from improper storage is apparent, but the shirt still presents very well. The Sox formally retired Cronins number 4 jersey in 1984, an honor long overdue considering his thirteen seasons of service as manager (eleven as player/manager). A superb Hall of Fame annel from one of the most signicant and inuential gures in Boston Red Sox history. LOA from Heritage Auctions. Starting Bid: $2,500

    81315 1957 Hank Severeid All-Star Game Worn St. Louis Browns Throwback Uniform. Severeids handwriting on the box containing this uniform reads Got this uniform about 1960 from Cardinals (Mr. Busch) after All-Star game in St. Louis, which could only be the 1957 Sportsmans Park event. The gorgeous, understated style is crafted from soft white annel with brown trim and only a simple logo SL on the sleeve to represent the hometown. Severeid is chain stitched into the jersey tail below the Rawlings Hall of Fame Flannel size 44 tagging. Matching pants are similarly tagged with size 40 designation and 25 inseam strip tag. Chain stitching here announces Severeid 1922, suggesting that the uniform was worn as part of 35th anniversary team reunion for that specic year at the St. Louis All-Star Game. Even the original belt, size 7 1/4 cap and matching stirrups are here! Is it sports memorabilia, or the coolest Halloween costume ever? Youll be the only 1920s St. Louis Browns player on the trick or treating circuit, for sure. LOA from Heritage Auctions. Starting Bid: $300

    81316 1967 Boston Red Sox American League Championship Ring Presented to Hank Severeid. The former catcher with the Reds, Browns, Senators and Yankees served as a scout for the Boston Red Sox from 1944 until his sudden passing in 1968. Here we nd a ring presented to him shortly before his death in recognition of his service to the Sox 1967 American League Championship cause. Synthetic rubies highlight a team logo B on the face, while Boston Red Sox AL Champions rings the perimeter in raised lettering. Left shank announces the year 1967 above a team logo, while right shank is engraved with Severeid above a BoSox cap, bats, ball and glove in miniature. Band measures 11.5 and is stamped Balfour 10K. Ring is consigned by the Severeid family and exhibits very minimal wear. Starting Bid: $1,500

    The Lou Gehrig Collection, Part II.


    The noble Iron Horse rides once again, and for the final time within the confines of The Lou Gehrig Collection as presented by Heritage Auctions. The incredible offering of personally owned material from the Yankees legend first appeared within our August 2011 Platinum Night auction in Chicago, with the greatest highlights, including Gehrigs 1926 Yankees team signed baseball and 1934 Tour of Japan uniform, setting price records. We made sure to hold a few great pieces back for our November auction, and theyre presented below. This material was left to the consignors family by Lous mother Christina Gehrig upon her passing in the 1950s, and makes its hobby debut here.

    81317 1917 Lou Gehrigs Signed Personal Autograph Book Contains Second Earliest Gehrig Signature Known! Call him The Iron Colt. The future New York Yankees legend was just fourteen years old when he presented this simple little autograph book to his classmates, who penned autographs and brief sentiments for their buddy, such as To Henry, Remember the present, Remember the past, Remember the fun in Big Jims Class, Your Brother Grade 8. As to be expected, the vast majority of the writing within is written to Gehrig and not by him, but the interior cover does provide the earliest known handwriting and signature from the superstar slugger. It reads, This book belongs to Henry Gehrig, 2079 Eighth Av., Manhattan, New York City. The writing has not faded a bit over the passing nine decades, surviving with impeccable 9+/10 boldness. The book itself exhibits mild handling and storage wear but nothing that comes close to threatening the structural integrity or the pages within. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.

    81318 1920s-30s Lou Gehrig Photograph Archive (31). Marvelous collection of vintage rst-generation images derive from Christina Gehrigs personal collection and begins chronologically with a marvelous snapshot photo (2x2.75) of mom and son at about age fteen posing with the family dog. It is one of nineteen images of Lou in civilian clothing, which include Rawhide promotional photos, a signed image of Gehrig on the ships deck signed by the photographer for the 1931 Tour of Japan, a few shing shots and a great snapshot of Gehrig exing his massive bicep. The in-uniform images are even more enthralling, beginning with a 5-21-23 news photo, complete with paper caption, of Gehrig in Columbia uniform (Good, due to corner damage). Theres a magnicent rookie Yankee portrait, a huge (11x14) shot of Gehrig sliding headrst into third, and one of the very last photos of Gehrig in pinstripes, shot October 5, 1939 as he is visited in the Yankee dugout by Babe Ruth. Also here are about ten photos of Christina Gehrig and her family without Lou, not included in the count. Image size varies from snapshot to 11x14, and range in condition from Good to NRMT, with most closer to the middle of that range. Starting Bid: $500

    81319 Circa 1930 Lou Gehrig Large Photograph by George Burke. Extraordinary photographic portrait gets our vote for the most desirable unsigned photo of Gehrig in the collecting hobby. We begin with the notoriety of the artist himself, George Burke, whose soulful photographic work serves as the foremost visual documentation for Depression-era baseball. Burkes virtuosic control of light and shadow establishes his imagery as far more than simple photojournalism, and his talents are on full display here. Next, we report that the dimensions of the presented work are greatly expanded from the typical 4x6 format most commonly seen for Burke. Here we encounter a 7x10 image on an 11x14 mount, the reverse bearing Burkes studio stamp. This impressive oversized format is clearly due to the nal and perhaps most compelling attribute of the image, that it was gifted to and owned by the subject himself. The marvelous condition, with light edge wear to the mount barely worth a mention, is the nal cherry on top. An absolute masterpiece with profound provenancial appeal. Starting Bid: $500

    81320 1930 Lou Gehrig Signed Christmas Card with Mailing Envelope. The Iron Horse sends a simple Christmas greeting to his ex-girlfriend. Gehrigs 9/10 black fountain pen ink signature turns this simple monogrammed (note the LG above the printed poetic stanza) notecard into a collecting treasure. Included is the original mailing envelope, penned in Gehrigs distinctive, elegant script. The card and envelope exhibit minor age toning but no other issues worthy of note. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication. Starting Bid: $750

    81321 1930s Lou Gehrig Game Worn Stirrups. Weve been unable to positively identify the uniform from which this pair of stirrups derivedthey dont seem to match either Tour of Japan, which had been our assumptionbut theres no doubt they are the Iron Horses, as they were packaged with the rest of the collection sold in our August Platinum Night and this November auction. They are clearly 1920s or 1930s vintage heavy wool professional quality, and a paper tag near the top of one is too faded to read, but does seem to feature a name beginning with the letter G. If a collector helps with identication during the course of the auction, well update this text online, so thanks in advance for any assistance. Starting Bid: $150

    81322 1930s Lou Gehrigs Personal Leather Wallet. Pull this baby out of your pocket at any sports bar in the Big Apple and you just might get your drink on the house. This personalized wallet, complete with baseball theme, once housed the Iron Horses cash and identication (though, sadly, neither remains). Though use is evident, the wallet remains in marvelous condition, ready for a second life in your pocket or a trophy room shelf. An intriguing personal artifact from this leading Yankees icon.

    81323 1908 Ty Cobb Pro Model Bat, Game Used. The unusual construction of our lot title is intended to direct the bidders attention to the fact that use by Cobb himself cannot be denitively attributed, nor could the possibility be entirely eliminated. The experts at PSA/DNA properly attest that the lack of logo stamping on this Ty Cobb Spalding Autograph bat would indicate the bat was produced for professional use; retail models bear the knob stamping absent here. They also note that the bats thirty-three and three-quarter inch length is due to a shortening of the barrel, and thus may have originally been proper for Cobbs preferred thirty-four and a half. But the lack of Cobb characteristics, notably absent handle tape and cleat marks, must likewise be addressed. Even lacking the touch of the Peach himself, this is a rare and highly collectible slab of lumber, and one that allows us to dream of what would surely be the hobby purchase of the year could a connection to the Halls rst occupant be conrmed. LOA from PSA/DNA. Starting Bid: $375

    81324 1923-25 Babe Ruth Professional Model Bat, Game Used. We begin with the disclaimer that this bats use by Ruth himself could not be conrmed, and, at thirty-ve inches and thirty-six ounces in size, it fails to correspond with standard Ruth traits. With those caveats addressed, we turn our attentions to the glorious vintage, matching the earliest seasons of the House that Ruth Built. The bat exhibits severe checking, knob damage, a taped handle repair, renishing and excessive wear, but the condition issues cannot override the bats delectable historical positioning. Looks arent everything, and this bat has personality to spare. LOA from PSA/DNA. Starting Bid: $200

    81325 1925-32 Rogers Hornsby Professional Model Game Used Bat. Exciting relic is attributed to one of the greatest hitters of his age, a man whose .359 lifetime batting average trails only Ty Cobb on the career chart. The experts at MEARS pinpoint the advent of Hanna bats use in Major League competition to 1925, and close the span of this specimens possible range at 1932, when patent numbers started to appear on Hanna knobs. Though Hornsby is best recalled as a Hillerich & Bradsby client, it is quite noteworthy that this bat, with its distinctive knob, perfectly matches Louisville Slugger ordering records. Length and weight of thirty-four inches and thirty-two ounces are considered within acceptable range. MEARS assigns a perfect ve point base grade for delity to factory records and the full three points for heavy use, with a single point lost for a chipped knob and upper handle crack, calculating to a nal A7 rating. A ne memento of the career National League batting champion. LOA from MEARS, A7. Starting Bid: $500

    81326 1926-41 Paul Waner Professional Model Game Used Bat. Tough early Krens Special bat is identied on the barrel as Waner Style, but attributed to the larger of the two Poisons through the specics of its dimensions. Though shipping records for Krens do not exist, it is well established that the factory did supply professional model bats to the Majors, and while the absence of records limits the prospects for denitive attribution, MEARS notes that the thirty-two ounce weight and thirty-four inch length of the bat are within Paul Waners established Hillerich & Bradsby specs. The bat earns ve points for delity to Waners preferred dimensions and three more for heavy use, with a point lost for divots to the barrel and another for the restored knob, accounting for the nal A6 score. A marvelous relic from the glorious fraternal Hall of Fame partnership that made the Pirates a contender in the Twenties and Thirties. LOA from MEARS, A6. Starting Bid: $375

    81327 1932-35 Jimmie Foxx Game Used Bat. Historic lumber dates to a possible four-season span that stands in history as the nest of not only Foxx Hall of Fame career, but that of just about any slugger not wearing Yankees pinstripes. Only in 1934, when Lou Gehrig took the prize, did Foxx fail to lead the American League in long balls, and the rst two of Foxx three MVP awards likewise were celebrated during this era. As such, this Krens Special bat, exhibiting use characterized by expert John Taube as excellent, ranks among the most desirable Foxx representations ever made available for private sale. Though batmaker Joseph Kren never achieved the household-name status of Louisville Slugger, his Syracuse, NY factory created gamers from many of the elite stars of the sportRuth, Gehrig, Hornsby and Ott to name a few. Krens factory ordering records have been lost to history, but it is noteworthy that the thirty-ve inch length and thirty-six ounce weight perfectly match Hillerich & Bradsby specs, as do the handle, knob and barrel dimensions, leading Taube to state that the bat is authentic and was used by Foxx during the referenced labeling period. Ball marks dot the right and left barrel, and cleat marks are scattered throughout. Lathe marks on the knob further authenticate the bat as professional issue. A remarkable, Cooperstown-quality relic from a period of rapid ascent toward Babe Ruths 500 Home Run Clubhouse. LOA from PSA/DNA. Starting Bid: $2,500

    81328 1933-34 Paul Waner Game Used Sidewritten Bat. Arguably the nest Big Poison bat on the market, though admittedly its not much of a horse race. Just ve examples have surfaced on the public auction block in the past dozen years, and this oering will make it an even half dozen. The 1934 season, one of two in which this bat may have seen action, saw the Pirates outelder claim his second of three career National League batting titles, and the excellent use (ball marks, cleat marks, cracked and repaired handle) evident upon this signature model Hillerich & Bradsby suggests loads of good work in the batters box. Perhaps most exciting, however, are the remnants of a mailing label on the right barrel and the vault markings of W58 stamped into the knob and barrel end, perfectly correlating with Paul Waner as the 58th player with the last initial W with an assigned bat model. So while the factory sidewriting is no longer visible, there is no question but that this is a genuine Paul Waner sidewritten bat. The splendid use and most coveted form of provenance fuel the GU 8.5 grade from PSA/DNA and serve as a challenge to competing bidders intent upon securing only the nest for their private holdings.

    81329 1949 Ralph Kiner All-Star Game Used Bat, PSA/DNA GU 8. Bats issued for the Midsummer and Fall Classic carry a lot of weight with the educated hobbyist, but the presented specimen is something truly special. Perhaps most notably, the Hillerich & Bradsby signature model G69L was crafted for use at the 1949 All-Star Game, one of the most historic editions due to the rst appearance of African-American players in the dugouts. In fact, the great Jackie Robinson was standing at second base in the bottom of the sixth inning when Kiner used this bat to deposit a two-out pitch into the bleachers in left to pull within a run of the American League. Kiners titanic blast was just one of many launched that 1949 season, widely considered the Pirates sluggers nest. His fty-four homers were a career best, and just two behind Hack Wilsons National League record. The heavy use of the presented bat ensures that the party didnt end the day of the Classic, as there is far more than a single games action apparent. Length of thirty-ve inches and weight of thirty-two ounces match the Professional Bat Ordering Record entry for July 8, 1949, four days prior to the All-Star Game. Some water staining to the barrel accounts for the only points lost in the PSA/DNA examination, resulting in a nal grade of GU 8. The bat otherwise earns top marks across the board, and bears a 9/10 sharpie signature from Kiner at mid-barrel. Signed letter of provenance from Kiner himself is included. LOA from PSA/ DNA, GU 8. Letter of provenance from Ralph Kiner. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA (autograph). Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication (autograph). Starting Bid: $2,000

    81330 1950 Ralph Kiner Game Used Bat Inscribed & Signed to Al Lang. Anybody whos been to spring training down in Florida should know the name Al Lang, the early St. Petersburg mayor instrumental in luring the New York Yankees, and later many other clubs, to the Tampa Bay area and the waterfront ballpark that bears his name. Almost three decades after signing a contract to make his city the permanent spring training home of the Yankees, Lang was still making friends in the baseball world, a fact made apparent by the inscription on the presented signature model G69L Hillerich & Bradsby once owned and operated by star slugger Ralph Kiner. Faded (3/10) black ink delivers the message To Al with Best Wishes, Ralph Kiner. Just above that inscription is a much bolder one from Lang himself, who in turn gifts the bat to a friend with the words To My Pal John Oliver III from Uncle Al Lang. The thirty-ve inch bat tips the scales at a Ruthian forty ounces and exhibits evidence of heavy use. Multiple ball and stitch marks coat the barrel, along with a supply of green bat rack streaks. Kiners number 4 is written in marker on the knob along with 41, indicating weight in ounces (bats often lose an ounce or two through drying over the years, accounting for the discrepancy with current weight). Bat is uncracked and earns an impressive GU 9 rating from PSA/DNA. A splendid representation from the fth of seven consecutive seasons atop the National League long ball ladder. LOA from PSA/DNA, GU 9. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA (autograph). Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication (autograph). Starting Bid: $375

    81331 1951-57 Gil Hodges Game Issued Bat. Pristine signature model Adirondack 106A presents exactly as it did upon delivery to Ebbets Field, with the single exception of the hand-applied number 14 in black paint on the barrel end. This one never made it into the fray though, but its unrealized playing potential is now transformed into pure collectibility. The blonde ash relic measures thirty-ve inches and ounces respectively, a perfect match for Gils ordering records. Assessed by PSA/DNA as GU 5, the highest grade allowable for an unused bat.

    81332 1953 Roy Campanella Game Issued Bat. While the presented Hillerich & Bradsby G80 with a block-lettered Campanella on the barrel may never have made its Big League debut, the history of the bat is so charming we can forgive this failing. The experts at PSA/DNA have managed to conrm the ordering date as May 19, 1953, where the H&B records note To Brooklyn for TV show, more specically the Happy Feltons Knothole Gang program which ran on New York TV station WOR Channel 9 in the early and mid-1950s. Hugely popular with Brooklyn youth in its day, the show served a large part in the adoration of the Bums which is reected to this day in the collecting market. Its likely that Campy did indeed wield this bat on camera as he taught youngsters the fundamentals of the sport. Campanellas number 39 appears in black paint on the barrel end. Length thirty-four inches; weight thirty-two ounces. LOA from PSA/DNA. Starting Bid: $500

    81333 1955 Gil Hodges World Series Game Used Bat. As the old saying goes, its not how you start, its how you nish. The most beloved Boy of Summer not enshrined at Cooperstown (despite many vocal advocates), rst baseman Gil Hodges saw his thunderous bat fall troublingly silent in the opening three games of the 1955 World Series, notching an anemic one for twelve at the plate. But his two-run homer in Game Four was the turning point in evening the Series at two games apiece, and his two RBIs in the seventh and deciding game represented all the scoring the Bums needed to claim Brooklyns rst and only World Championship. Presented is perhaps the very weapon that slayed the Yankee beast, one of two signature model Adirondack 113A bats issued to Hodges for use in this fabled Fall Classic. While players often retained their World Series bats as unused souvenirs, this example exhibits the light use one would expect for limited Series service, and an included photograph pictures Hodges at the plate gripping either this bat or its identical twin. A few ball marks and stitch impressions appear on the left barrel and a light coating of pine tar is applied to the handle. Length thirty-ve inches; weight thirty-two and a half ounces. Unquestionably one of the most important Dodgers artifacts to surface in the hobby in recent years, this engine for Brooklyns most glorious achievement clearly belongs in Cooperstown, with or without its former owner. LOA from PSA/DNA. Starting Bid: $1,500

    81334 1955-57 Roy Campanella Game Used Bat. The sturdy foundation of the great 1950s Brooklyn Bums dynasty delivered still more heartbreak to the borough after the last ever game at Ebbets, paralyzed in a terrible automobile accident just months before the teams Los Angeles debut. Here we present some late career lumber from the Hall of Fame backstop, exhibiting heavy use with a taped handle crack, plentiful ball and cleat marks and grain swelling on the barrel. The Hillerich & Bradsby C188 perfectly matches factory ordering records with its thirty-ve inches of length and thirty-three and a third ounces of weight. Points are lost for red paint on the barrel, a urethane coating of the bat and a chip to the knob, but the bat still presents very well. Graded PSA/DNA GU 6. A very opportunity to bring one of the leading Boys of Summer into your trophy room. LOA from PSA/DNA, GU 6. Starting Bid: $1,000

    81335 1957 Hank Aaron Game Used Bat with World Series Attribution, PSA GU 9. While any lumber from the arsenal of Hammerin Hank carries tremendous collecting appeal (and particularly representations dating to the 1950s), the presented example suggests ideal vintage in the form of a notarized letter of provenance from a gentleman who attended Braves and Packers games as a boy in Wisconsin. He details a friendship between his family and the proprietor of a Milwaukee steakhouse popular with the local athletes. This bat, he attests, was given to the restaurateur by Aaron just after the Braves victorious 1957 World Series, and in turn given to the letters author. We nd nothing in the bats DNA to contradict this recollection, and expert John Taube reports that the Adirondack 63A matches Aarons specs for the 1954 through 1957 era. The bat is uncracked and exhibits excellent use with several ball marks and stitch impressions on all sides of the barrel along with scattered cleat marks and bat rack stripes. A small chip appears on back barrel. Length and weight of thirty-ve inches and ounces respectively likewise match known exemplars. Thrilling as an early-career Aaron, and a national treasure as a bat potentially used to claim what would prove to be Aarons rst and only World Series Championship. LOA from PSA/DNA, GU 9. Starting Bid: $3,750

    81336 1958 Brooks Robinson Game Used Bat. The unique characteristics of this signature model Hillerich & Bradsby O1S allow the experts at PSA/DNA to pinpoint the derivation of the important lumber to two orders made on May 22nd and July 9th of 1958, eectively the future Hall of Famers rookie season as Robinson had made only seventy-one appearances in the three years prior. We believe this scarce lumber is the earliest Robinson bat to reach the auction block, but the heavy use and perfect match to factory records (thirty-four inches and twenty-eight and a half ounces) further augment the appeal and fuel the impressive GU 8.5 rating. Ball and stitch marks abound, with the punishment swelling the grain on the back barrel. Handle exhibits Robinsons scoring for grip, and is bolstered by a few small nails to repair the crack that ended its service. This rare relic is derived from the personal collection of a former Washington Senators bat boy, with his letter of provenance. Black sharpie signature on the barrel rates 10/10, nicely completing the package. Letter of provenance from Senators bat boy. LOA from PSA/DNA, GU 8.5. Pre-certied by PSA/DNA (autograph).

    81337 1959 Mickey Mantle All-Star Game Used Bat, PSA/DNA GU 8.5. In an eort to raise additional funds for the players pension fund, the 1959 All-Star Game was presented as a doubleheader, with the rst contest waged July 7th at Pittsburghs Forbes Field and the second on August 3 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The presented Adirondack 113A was delivered to Mantle for use is one (or perhaps both) of those exhibitions, though the considerable use suggests even more than two games action. The ame-burned ash relic measures thirty-ve and a half inches in length at a weight of thirty-one and a half ounces, perfectly matching Mantles preferred specs for the era. His surname appears in block lettering on the barrel, just to the right of the important 1959 All Star designation. The grain of the barrel is slightly swelled from its punishment in the hands of the sports premier slugger, and pock-marked with cleat marks suered as Mantle knocked the clay from his spikes. Red bat rack streaking on the barrel may help indicate the stadium of usage. While any Mantle bat carries considerable collecting appeal, those rare surviving specimens specially crafted for use in the Midsummer or Fall Classic are particularly prized by the discerning collector. This appeal is exponentially increased by the 1950s vintage, as game gear from the rst half of Mantles Hall of Fame career is considerably more scarce than 1960s models. LOA from PSA/DNA, GU 8.5. Starting Bid: $12,500

    81338 1965-68 Frank Robinson Game Used Bat. Though Robinsons residence at Cooperstown and the 500 Home Run Clubhouse is enough to assure immortality, he joins another Robinson in racial pioneering as the rst African-American to take the managerial reins of a Major League club. The potential production range of this playing-days bat spans his transition from the Reds to the Orioles, which allowed him to become the only player to win an MVP Award for each League.

    81340 1968 Don Drysdale Game Used Bat. Everybody knows that pitchers arent supposed to hit, or, at least, everybody but Don Drysdale. Though he earned his Cooperstown bronze with an intimidating sidearmed delivery that left bruises on a National League record 154 hit batsmen, the 1962 Cy Young winner clubbed twentynine home runs in 1169 career at-bats, a slightly better long ball ratio than Derek Jeter. So while pitchers bats are the toughest hurdle for collectors with a concentration in that hobby subgenre, few are as noteworthy as this Dodger legends. The presented Adirondack Big Stick 261X perfect matches Drysdales preferred specs, with thirty-four ounces of weight in its thirty-six inches of blonde ash.

    81347 1985 Pete Rose Game Used Corked Bat, PSA/DNA GU 10. We were shocked, frankly, shocked to learn that Mr. Hustle might have broken the rules, but the evidence is tough to deny. This Mizuno model PR 4192 is quite clearly altered, with bat authenticator John Taube noting in his detailed letter, During the referenced labeling period, Pete Rose was known to cork a few of his bats. The general thinking is that he was looking for an advantage while approaching the All Time Hit Record. The appearance of the top barrel raised suspicion that the subject bat was corked. To answer any questions, the barrel has been x-rayed and does reveal that the barrel has been drilled and lled with material that we assume is cork. But lets face itif you still love Pete Rose after all the scandals, lies and begrudging admissions, this infraction isnt going to change anything. Destined to be the best conversation piece in your collection, this late-career gamer exhibits tremendous use, with multitudes of ball marks and checking to the punished grain. The handle has been taped with ve rings and a large spiral on the upper handle, each known Rose traits. In fact, the bat appears to be a match to the included cover of the August 19, 1985 Sports Illustrated magazine, signed by Rose with the inscription To Eric, Take Care of This Bat.

Ball, stitch and cleat marks decorate the barrel and a handwritten Bonds appears in marker on the knob. Length is thirty-four and a half inches; weight is thirty-two ounces.

    81359 1922 Ty Cobb Game Worn Detroit Tigers Uniform. Perhaps the most fascinating psychological study in the long history of professional baseball, Tyrus Raymond Cobb came into this world with the chip of a fallen Confederacy already rmly installed upon his shoulder, his southern resentments still burning decades after the ames of General Shermans march through his home state of Georgia had been extinguished. He was still ghting the Civil War, reported Tigers teammate Wahoo Sam Crawford, and as far as he was concerned, we were all damn Yankees. Cobbs father was a domineering and jealous man, disapproving of his sons single-minded fascination with the National Pastime which he considered a far cry from the more respectable avocations of medicine or the law. But just three weeks after the senior Cobb was shot to death by Tys mother in what was reported as a tragic case of mistaken identity, the nineteen-year old set o on a baseball career that would earn him the rst bronze plaque at the Baseball Hall of Fame. Cobbs youthfulness and southern sensibilities made him a prime target for rookie hazing during that rst year in Detroit, driving his resentments even deeper into the grain of his being. Manager Hughie Jennings looked the other way at rst, because I wanted to satisfy myself that Cobb has as much guts as I thought in the very beginning, he explained. When pitcher Ed Siever confronted Cobb over a dropped ball in a Tigers loss, Cobb pinned Siever to the ground and rained blows down upon him, then sat awake all night in his Pullman berth with his gun on his lap during that nights train ride to Chicago. Years later, Cobb would recall, Those old-timers turned me into a snarling wildcat. And so while the popular stories of intentional spikings and fatal pistol whippings may be more folklore than fact, the bottled rage and gritted teeth determination of The Georgia Peach were entirely real, establishing Cobb as the denitive superstar of baseballs down and dirty Dead Ball Era. The emergence of Babe Ruth and the lively ball signaled a tectonic shift in the sports landscape, but the developments only hardened Cobbs resolve, and he had begun to view himself as one of the last defenders of the original game by the time he was issued the presented road grey Detroit Tigers uniform for the 1922 American League season. While his Tigers ultimately nished a distant second to the Babes Yankees in the race for the 1922 pennant, Cobb added another record to his bulging oensive credentials, tying Wee Willie Keelers mark with four ve-hit games in a single season. It would also prove to be Cobbs nal .400 campaign. Like the bulk of twentieth century Major League annels, Cobbs uniform was reassigned to secondary minor league usage at the close of the 1922 season, and it is from the

    family of that minor leaguer that the uniform made its initial entrance into the collecting hobby. The heavy grey annel garment underwent a pair of surgical procedures to accommodate its new owner in 1923. First, the classic Old English letter D was carefully excised from the chest. Next, the jerseys tail was trimmed but, fortuitously, retained by the ballplayer due to the embroidered Cobb attribution located there. The advanced collector who tracked down this Cobb representation immediately took steps to restore the jersey to its original state. The reattachment of the rear tail was a relatively simple matter, but a replacement logo D would prove more challenging, as would the matter of nding material to replace the missing front tail, which was not saved by the minor leaguer. It was Heritage ourselves who unwittingly galloped to the rescue with the presentation of 1922 Tigers teammate Bert Coles road jersey in May 2007, from which the black felt D and the front tail was farmed, and transplanted to the presented Cobb. The jersey otherwise remains complete and original to Cobbs ownership, the trimmed sleeves a common Cobb trait, the Spalding label inside the collar and the secondary tag below heavily worn but essentially complete. The matching pants were spared the knife and are presented in 100% original and unrestored condition. Here we nd an identical black thread embroidered Cobb attribution, located at the buttoned y path. Some rust staining appears nearby, and one half of the clasp has been lost, but the original belt survives, and the Spalding tag at interior waistband is solid and undamaged. Each garment exhibits considerable wear with scattered small holes that do nothing to detract. The reaxed tail presents a noticeably darker shade than the body of the jersey, but this is due to the considerable secondary wear and multitude of washings that the tail portion was spared after excision. Included with uniform experts MEARS detailed letter of examination is an even more meticulous study of the uniform bers, which provides scientic proof that the reaxed tail is a perfect match for the jersey body. Just four Cobb uniforms are known to survive to this day. A later Detroit Tigers example is privately held, as is a Philadelphia Athletics example from the close of Cobbs career. A second As specimen is on display at Cooperstown. This 1922 representation, a rare single-season style, is the earliest Cobb of the four. It earns a grade of A7* from MEARS, the three points lost for the noted restoration. The asterisk, in contrast to the Roger Maris association, is MEARS version of a gold star, assigned due to the tremendous importance of the jersey as one of the greatest treasures of the twentieth century game.

    81360 1923-24 Eddie Pick Game Worn Cincinnati Reds Jersey. Tough early style is almost identical to that worn by the Reds during their 1919 World Championship season (though a dierent style was introduced for the Series), but the red trim at the sleeve cus was only utilized from 1922 through 1929. We can narrow that range considerably, however, by the embroidered Pick sewn directly into the rear tail, an attribution to back-up outelder Eddie Pick whose term of Cincinnati service was conned to 1923 and 1924. The heavy road grey pinstriped annel retains the gorgeous black and red felt Reds logo over the heart and a blank back as this style predates the advent of jersey numbers. All six original buttons remain on chest. Manufacturers labeling in the collar has been lost to the ages, but the thread outline remains. A few minor stains do little to distract the eye, and the absence of moth damage or any other such damage to the fabric is a welcome surprise for such an ancient garment. A small amount of dye transfer from the team logo likewise is a minor concern which must be dismissed in light of the tremendous rarity and desirability of this important early fashion.

    81361 1935 Babe Ruth Game Worn Boston Braves Cap from Teammates Estate. All ballplayers should quit when it starts to feel as if all the baselines run uphill, Ruth told a reporter near the end of his two-decade term of Major League service. Much like future Yankees legend Mickey Mantle, who was just four years old when the Babe hung up his spikes, Ruths ballplaying brilliance had been a pure gift of genetics, the ne edge of his talent inexorably dulled with each passing year by a hard-charging lifestyle of wine, women and song. Ruth knew he had little left to give to the sport he had dened for the better part of two decades as he took his last swings at Yankee Stadium on September 30, 1934. Just 2,500 fans came to the Stadium to bid him farewell. Ruth went zero for three. An eventful o-season found the Babe traveling to the Far East for the famous 1934 Tour of Japan, and upon his return to the States he battled Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert in an attempt to seize the Yankees managerial reins from Joe McCarthy. Rupperts conciliatory oer of the minor league Newark Bears position was rejected. Briey Connie Mack considered stepping down as Athletics skipper for the Babe, but ultimately decided against it. An opportunity with the Detroit Tigers was squandered when Ruth missed a scheduled meeting with owner Frank Navin. Finally Ruth got the oer he had been seeking, or at least something that closely resembled it. Boston Braves owner Emil Fuchs, debt-ridden and in desperate need of increased ticket sales, oered Ruth a playing contract, the team vice presidency, a share of prots and a clear path to the managers position, perhaps as early as 1936. And so, on February 26, 1935, the Yankees traded Ruth to the Braves. The Babes return to Boston after a sixteen-year absence initially had the desired eect, inspiring enthusiasm for the National League team not seen since the Miracle of 1914. Before an Opening Day crowd of over 25,000, the Babe drove in all four runs in the clubs defeat of the New York Giants. The victory would sadly prove to be the only day of the season the Braves surpassed the .500 mark, and the degradation of Ruths skills only became more apparent as the weeks passed. His elding was so atrocious that three Braves pitchers threatened not to take the mound with Ruth in the line-up. Soon his hitting failed as well. It also became apparent that Ruth was a team executive in name only, with no real power in the decision-making process. The promise of prot sharing likewise was revealed as illusory. In every way, Ruths baseball dreams were crashing around him. And so, batting well under .200 and with just three home runs in close to one hundred plate appearances, Ruth could hope for little more than one last ash of brilliance. It came on May 25th at Pittsburghs Forbes Field, where he had dominated the Pirates at the close of the greatest season of his career just eight years earlier. Perhaps it was that memory that brought back the magic one last time, as Ruth went four-for-four with three home runs, the third clearing the roof at Forbes Field, the rst time the feat was accomplished in the stadiums twenty-six season history. This historic long ball would prove to be the 714th and nal of Ruths career. Five days later, the Babe struck out in the rst inning at Philadelphias Baker Bowl. In the bottom half of the inning Ruth injured his knee chasing a y and limped o the eld. Two days later, after that, Ruth summoned reporters to the locker room after a meeting with the Giants to announce his retirement. Americas love for the game of baseball is due in large part to its constancy. For six months of the year it is with us every day like a faithful friend, and its reemergence every spring signals new life and new hope just as the flowers springing from the cold earth. But the mortality of the individual is never spared, and no artifact weve ever encountered symbolizes the notion better than the presented cap, signifying the final sentence of one of the greatest chapters of our National Pastime. The cap survives in splendid, undamaged condition, with the interior leather headband boldly embroidered G. Ruth in green thread. It derives from the personal collection of 1935 Braves teammate Ray Mueller and is accompanied by a letter of provenance from the Mueller family. One could reasonably assume that teammates would be seeking souvenirs from the Babe only upon the announcement of his retirement, so we can dare to dream that this is the cap Ruth wore for his final appearances, inclusive of that last meteoric burst across the baseball sky when he deposited number 714 upon the unsuspecting streets of Pittsburgh.

The heavy road grey wool annel was, unbelievably, a hand-me-down to a Chicago area industrial team, who stripped the Chicago from the chest but left the jersey otherwise unaltered. Kleins original number 4 on the verso remains unmoved from its original application at the start of the heroic 35 season, as do the embroidered Klein beside the Spalding label inside the collar, and the number 35 chain stitched in similar fashion in the rear tail. The body style is a pullover with four-button front, with matching blue and red piping at the collar and sleeve cus. The fabric that comprises the body of the shirt remains free of any noteworthy damage, oering wear described by the authenticators as moderate. The current Old English Chicago that arches gently across the chest is a masterful modern replacement, restoring the garments appearance to its original glory. Unquestionably the nest Klein jersey existing within a private collection, this historic relic represents what may well be a once in a lifetime opportunity for the advanced collector.

    81363 1935 Tony Cuccinello Game Worn Brooklyn Dodgers Jersey with Matching Pants. Extraordinarily tough pre-war annel jersey saw action at the Polo Grounds, Forbes Field and the rest of the periods National League parks on the back of the Dodgers talented second baseman. The rare three-year style was only utilized between 1934 and 1936, though Cuccinellos trade to the Boston Braves in December of 1935 allows us to narrow the range by one third. Bold navy blue and red Old English lettering spells Brooklyn in a shallow arc across the chest, with the original number 5 removed from verso but still exhibiting a few cut threads from its original path. One could assume that this removal came at the minor league level, where the jersey was reconditioned for secondary usage. The jersey is consigned by the family of the minor leaguer who wore the shirt as a hand-me-down. T. Cuccinello remains embroidered directly into the interior collar beside the ancient square Spalding manufacturers label. The number 35 is similarly chain stitched into lower rear tail. Some rather unusual tailoring features, including an extra button hole at lower chest and a horizontal seam just below the bottom button are noted for the sake of full disclosure, but these cause no distraction and are clearly period alterations. Some mild staining and a small tear at rear tail likewise cause little concern. Also here is a matching pair of pants worn by the same minor league player, initially owned and used by veteran right-hander Fat Freddie Fitzsimmons, who represented the Dodgers between 1937 and 1943. His name is embroidered in red thread at interior waistband, again beside a square Spalding logo. Scattered staining and a team repair appear on verso. LOA from Heritage Auctions.

    81364 1938-39 Bob Feller Game Worn Cleveland Indians Jersey. He credited his arm strength to hard work on the Van Meter, Iowa farm where he grew up, entering the Majors as a re-throwing seventeen-year old phenom with the 1936 Cleveland Indians. So Bob Feller was not yet twenty at the time the Indians issued this home white annel to the future Hall of Famer for what would be a breakout 1938 season. Feller nearly doubled his innings pitched for 1938, winning seventeen games and setting an American League record with 240 strikeouts. In 1939, the historic season that saw the debut of Ted Williams, the farewell of Lou Gehrig and the opening of the Baseball Hall of Fame, Rapid Robert set the American League strikeout mark again, adding to it a Leaguebest twenty-four victories and equal number of complete games. We believe that Feller wore this jersey for both the 1938 and 1939 Cleveland Indians seasons, as the outline of a Baseball Centennial patch on the left sleeve would suggest. The patch had been stripped for minor league secondary usage, as was the logo C over the heart, replaced with an F for the Fargo-Moorhead (ND) Twins of the Class D league where a minor leaguer received the shirt as a hand-me-down. The consignor has taken steps to have each of these farm club alterations undone, acquiring a genuine vintage Centennial patch for the sleeve and carefully aging the red and black felt letter C logo over the heart to match the original rear number 19. It is on the jersey verso that we nd the 38 year attribution, in the form of red digits embroidered directly into the jersey tail. A quick check of the 1938 roster will indicate that Feller in fact wore number 14 for the 1938 season, switching to the number 19 for which he is best known (and which is retired by the Indians) for 1939. This fact, along with the previously discussed Centennial patch, strongly indicates second-season Major League usage, and that the present digits are a 1939 team-instituted change. Matching the tails year attribution is a red embroidered Bob Feller sewn directly into the annel of the interior collar. Proper Spalding [size] 42 tagging is located below. Solid wear is evident throughout, with a few minor stains doing little to distract the eye. Matching Indians pants not attributed to Feller are included. Hall of Fame annels will always enjoy a devoted and active collecting base, and those rare few pre-war specimens will intensify the attention even further. But a pre-war gamer from the rst great season of the eras most dominant pitcher, the earliest Feller representation known, turns this opportunity into a once-in-a-lifetime event.

    81365 1946 Joe Ducky Medwick Game Worn Brooklyn Dodgers Jersey. The ten-time All-Star and 1968 Hall of Fame inductee is best recalled for his service to the celebrated 1934 St. Louis Cardinals World Championship squad, but Medwick called Ebbets Field home during four seasons of his illustrious career, split between two separate tours of duty. Here we nd the ultimate relic of that second Brooklyn stand, a home white annel jersey sported the season before Jackie Robinson would turn the eyes of the world toward Flatbush. Rather ironically, Brooklyn would nd itself tied with St. Louis at a 96-58 record at the close of the 1946 season, necessitating the rst playo in National League history, claimed by the eventual World Champion Cardinals in a two-game sweep. The classic style will be familiar to even the casual fan, a simple blue felt Dodgers scripted across the chest, with number 16 boldly applied to verso. Interior collar holds Spalding label above size 44 Regular and Dry Clean Only tags, underscored by an embroidered J. Medwick swatch. Fat strap grommet holes frame the sixth button from the top, giving way to an embroidered number 46 at lower left front tail indicating year of issue. Though zipper fronts were the norm for the 46 Bums, Medwick is documented as one of the few to opt for the classic button-down style instead, a fact conrmed by Getty image #50502085 as noted in accompanying MEARS paperwork. The MEARS experts characterize the wear as moderate and note only half-point reductions for a missing button and minor staining and a light tear in their assignment of an A9 grade for this Cooperstown-quality relic. A rare opportunity to own a genuine Brooklyn Dodgers Hall of Fame annel from one of the most exciting stars of the 1930s and 1940s. LOA from MEARS, A9. LOA from Heritage Auctions.

    81366 1949 Warren Spahn Game Worn Boston Braves Jersey. When its got the looks and the personality, it has to be true love. The Braves uniform style of the 1940s and 1950s is widely considered the pinnacle of post-war baseball fashion, and it would take quite the litigator to defend a dissenting opinion. While the Cleveland Indians cartoonish Chief Wahoo has rightfully earned its share of scorn from an oended Native American community, the gorgeous aesthetics of these Braves uniforms play like a loving homage. There is no wink and nod here, just heroic imagery and expert craftsmanship . The red and black felt scripted Braves ascends gently upon the chest across the zippered front, transversing the stylish red and black piping that is repeated at each sleeve cu. The tomahawk below the team nickname is a complicated interplay of chenille and felt. Even more luxurious is the Indian head on the left sleeve, crafted from ve colors of felt and remarkably detailed threadwork. The red and black number 21 on verso is perhaps the most common aspect of the shirt, though no longer common on Braves jerseys, of course, as the team properly retired the digits in Spahns honor. A simple Horace Partridge Athletic Goods [size] 42 tag appears at interior collar above a swatch embroidered Spahn in red. A similar swatch at lower right exterior tail denotes the year 49. The jersey is signed once in 9+/10 blue sharpie at the left ribs, and again somewhat more lightly at interior collar. The jersey exhibits use characterized by the experts at MEARS as moderate to heavy, indicative of a season that would prove to be one of Spahns most active and accomplished, with National League-leading totals in victories (21), complete games (25) innings pitched (302.1) and strikeouts (151). MEARS calculates its grade as A8.5, with a single point lost for the repaired zipper (a common theme among Braves jerseys of this era) and a half-point for the minimal separation of the felt of the numeral 2 on verso. In every other regard physically, aesthetically and historically, the jersey earns top marks and a position of honor in the nest of private game worn jersey collections. LOA from MEARS, A8.5.

    81367 1940s-50s Boston Red Sox Game Worn Warm-up Jacket. The days of Ted Williams, Dom DiMaggio and Johnny Pesky are vividly recalled with the sight of this navy wool letterman style jacket owned and worn by one of these legends teammates on cold days at Fenway. While we cannot identify the specic player, it must be stressed that this jacket was team-issue only, and never available to the general public. A fantastic red socks chenille patch is sewn over the heart, and red, white and blue elasticized cung appears at collar, waist and sleeve ends. Fully operational snap-button front. Tim McAulie [size] 48 tagging appears inside collar. Light wear is evident, but the jacket remains in splendid undamaged condition, without so much as fraying of the cus typically seen on jackets from this era.

    81368 1950 Duke Snider Game Worn Brooklyn Dodgers Jersey. A black sharpie signature on the chest of this rare roadster is notated 5-10-50, the date that the future Hall of Fame centerelder clubbed his 200th career home run against Cubs pitcher Warren Hacker at Wrigley Field. While it is unlikely that this jersey could be denitively pegged to that particular game, theres a great chance it is indeed the one Snider was wearing, as ballplayers were typically issued just two home and two road uniforms each season. And even if the Duke was sporting his other road uniform that date, we can be sure that some good work was done in this example, as Snider led the National League with 199 hits in 1950, and his thirty-one homers was good enough for top ve placement. The grey annel garment was reconditioned for secondary use at the minor league level following the Dukes ownership, so we must report that the Dodgers script on the chest and the number 4 on verso are not original, but rather professionally restored to their original state, a four-point MEARS deduction. A half point for soiling and a half point for a few scattered holes in the tail complete the A5 rating. It must be stressed, however, the grade is in no way indicative of any authenticity concerns, as the experts agree that the E. Snider 50 embroidered directly into the jersey tail is original and unaltered. The same is true of the Rawlings St. Louis label at interior collar, above a size 42 and washing instructions tag. Brooklyn Dodgers uniforms are quite tough and highly coveted by collectors, so it should go without saying that those owned and worn by the Hall of Fame icons of the Boys of Summer carry tremendous collecting appeal.

    81370 1955 Roy Sievers Game Worn Washington Senators Uniform. Rare and highly collectible road grey Senators uniform was consigned to this auction by the 1949 American League Rookie of the Year himself, who came to visit Heritage as we held an appraisal event in his St. Louis hometown. Sievers was one of the most feared sluggers of the day, his 106 runs batted in for the 1955 season outpacing the likes of Kaline, Mantle and Williams, who all appeared in the American Leagues top ten for the statistic. By far the biggest star on a team that featured a nineteen-year old Harmon Killebrew, Sievers run production doubled all but rst baseman Mickey Vernons tally on the 55 Senators squad. The jersey features a zippered front (still functional) and the shortened sleeves favored by the power hitters of the era. A navy and red tackle twill Washington arches across the chest in two-inch tall block lettering. Sievers number 2 is applied to verso. Spalding label appears at interior collar, anked on the right side by a size 44 swatch and Set 1 1955 ap tag. A white felt swatch below holds a chainstitched Sievers.

Leather and elastic bands kept the mask secured to Berras helmet, with the center band embossed Yogi Berra 1514. A Spalding tag is applied to the back. Letter of provenance from Berra himself is included.

    81372 1957 Tony Kubek Game Worn New York Yankees Jersey from Rookie of the Year Season. A pinch hit appearance on Opening Day of the 1957 season at Fenway Park would be the rst step en route to a Rookie of the Year season for the multi-talented Kubek, who split his time between the ineld and outeld almost evenly during his magnicent debut campaign. One can only imagine the feeling of making a rst appearance while a visitor in baseballs greatest rivalry, and theres a distinct possibility that this road grey annel is the one Kubek was sporting that twentieth day of April, 1957. One also can count the odds at 50/50 (given that Yankees players were issued two home and two road jerseys per season) that this shirt saw action in Game 3 of the 1957 World Series, a County Stadium contest against the Milwaukee Braves that stands in history as one of the nest ever rookie performances in a Fall Classic game. Kubek went three for ve with two homers, becoming just the second rookie to go yard twice in a Series event. New York arches across the chest of the grey annel garment, but we must report that these letters have been reaxed following a term in the minorsthe secondary stitching path of the farm club lettering is apparent when held to the light, but not upon typical display.

    81375 1961 Curt Flood Game Worn St. Louis Cardinals Jersey. The 2011 HBO documentary The Curious Case of Curt Flood has reignited widespread interest in this complicated superstar, best remembered for his brave yet ultimately self-destructive challenge to Major League Baseballs deeply entrenched reserve clause. A devoted fan of Jackie Robinson, Flood followed in his idols footsteps in pioneering a fundamental change to the status quo that would make a beneciary of every player to follow. Here we present a rare and enormously desirable home white annel jersey dating to Floods fourth full season in the Majors, and his rst truly great one. Floods .322 batting average was a gure hed top just once in his All-Star career, during the glorious World Championship season of 1967, and this 1961 season also saw Flood steadily gaining recognition as the games foremost center elder. The jersey rates a stellar A9 from the experts at MEARS, a single point lost only for the light soiling/staining typical of half-century old garments. In every regard, the jersey was found to be 100% original and authentic, exhibiting a full seasons wear from Flood, and then secondary action in the minors where the classic birds and bat chenille logo on the chest and the red and navy felt number 21 on verso were left untouched.

    81379 1966-68 Mickey Mantle Game Worn Jersey with Extensive and Important Photo Matching. Ladies and gentlemen, a magnicent Yankee, the great number seven, Mickey Mantle. As the words of legendary announcer Mel Allen were drowned out by the applause of more than sixty thousand fans on Mickey Mantle Day, June 8, 1969, the aging slugger couldnt help but think of a man honored on that same ground three decades earlier as he stepped to the microphone. Ive often wondered how a man who knew he was going to die could stand here and say he was the luckiest man on the face of the earth, but now I guess I know how he felt. Like Gehrig, the Mick had nothing left to give to the fans of the Bronx other than his gratitude, the sharp edges of his athletic gifts dulled by injury, hard living and the relentless, unforgiving passage of time. In an historical context it seems quite tting that the Mantle Era should end when it did, as the United States turned a page from the wide-eyed innocence of the post-war years to face new challenges and crises ahead. The Mick was in many ways emblematic of his age, and the Ozzie Sweet photograph featured in the Mantle Day souvenir paraphernalia is precise in every detail to the fond memories of any child who once traded for his bubble gum cards by the playground swings. Handsome and axen haired, Mantle towers above the cameras low vantage point against a background of the bluest sky imaginable, the prototypical American sports hero. The photo is likewise precise to the presented jersey, establishing the pinstriped annel garment as one of the most important and desirable Mantle artifacts ever to reach the public auction block. In fact, we feel quite condent in the assertion that this jersey represents the most extensively photo matched Mantle jersey in the hobby, and quite possibly the most extensively photo matched Yankees jersey, period, regardless of player attribution. We have celebrated sports photographers Ozzie Sweet and Richard Meek to thank for providing this utterly unimpeachable research material. Collectively, they snapped numerous images of Mantle from a myriad of angles while sporting this shirt, documenting the unique intersections of pinstriping at the shoulders, sleeves, collar and button path with faultless precision. Mantles photo-documented usage of the jersey in spring training of 1968-the Ozzie Sweet photo session would strongly indicate regular season action during the regular season of 1967, as it was standard procedure for most Major League clubs to utilize the previous seasons gear during training and debut new uniforms on Opening Day. Though an embroidered number 66 in the tail of the jersey is a clear indicator of date, there is established precedent for Yankees jerseys being used in seasons subsequent to original issue. The jersey worn by Roger Maris as he hit his historic 61st home run of the 1961 season, which was auctioned for over $300,000 in August 2004, was tagged for 1960, and images of Maris wearing the shirt in 1960 have likewise been documented. The Louis Requena image listed as #50987209 at www.GettyImages.com nds the Mick sporting the presented jersey in a posed shot at Yankee Stadium, but unfortunately the generic date of January 1, 1960 is attributed, the default for any Getty image for which only an applicable decade is known. One can logically assume that the actual date is either 1966 or 1967. At the close of the Yankee training camp in the spring of 1968, the jersey was handed down to the clubs farm system, long a standard practice for most Major League gamers. The appearance of stitching patterns over the heart of the Oneonta Yankees logo O and the Ft. Lauderdale Ft. L can be discerned upon close inspection. The stitch outline of a Baseball Centennial patch on the left sleeve can likewise be spotted, indicating usage during the 1969 season as well. Mantle was reunited with the jersey in the spring of 1970 when he signed on as an instructor for a youth baseball clinic not far from the Ft. Lauderdale training camp where he had taken his last swings before resigning himself to the inevitability of retirement. At this point the minor league emblem was stripped from the jersey and replaced with a block lettered New York for Mantles usage, which is how the jersey appeared when it came into the possession of our consignor. An expert restoration has returned the shirt to its original appearance, the NY logo carefully positioned at its original stitching path. The number 7 on the reverse is also likely a secondary application, completed between Mantles last game as a member of the New York Yankees and his nal use of the jersey in the 1970 clinic. Though the typical indicators of a number restoration are not evident (specically stitch holes, adhesive residue and/or faint discoloration), it is the adhesion of the number alone that provides sucient evidence for suspicion. It was typical for logos and numbers to be stripped from Major League jerseys upon their move to the minors, and the rather aggressive application of adhesive beneath the number would appear to be more in keeping with a team issued change rather than an original application at the Spalding factory. Close scrutiny by several jersey specialists (including our restorer) has unanimously conrmed that no other number but 7 has ever been applied to the jersey. The original Spalding [size] 44 labeling remains in the lower left front tail, as does the proper washing instructions tag, all of which perfectly matches Yankees garments of the era. The collar still holds the thread outline of where an embroidered Mantle swatch once resided, this identier lost to the passing decades. Wear is very strong, as would be expected from a jersey with a long history at both the Major and minor league level. Some minor staining, quite possibly attributable to game use, is noted for the sake of accuracy, but our catalog imagery should indicate how minor a concern this is. And a piece of this historical magnitude has no business making apologies for minor imperfections. We didnt need it from Mickey himself, who had plenty of cause for mea culpas. Wed rather recall him as the perfect slugger, the burly farm boy from Oklahoma bathed in golden light, the way Ozzie Sweet saw him, the way we all see him in our childhood dreams.

    81380 1968 Steve Carlton Game Worn St. Louis Cardinals Jersey. Early career gamer dates to what was arguably the most important season in the development of a pitcher who would come to prominence as one of the most dominant southpaws ever to take the mound. Though the St. Louis pitching spotlight was rmly directed at fellow future Hall of Famer Bob Gibson and his outrageous 1.12 ERA Cy Young-winning campaign, Carlton began experimentation with his trademark slider during this National League Championship season, beginning the transition from a solid number three starter to a rst-ballot Hall of Famer. The enormous historical relevance of this home white annel is only part of the appeal, however, and the experts at MEARS spare no superlatives in rating this rare garment a perfect A10. First and foremost, it must be stressed that the jersey remains in 100% complete and original condition, spared the post-Majors farm club relegation which claimed countless annels of the day. The classic chenille bat and birds logo is still perfect on the chest, as is the two-tone felt number 32 just below the heart. The verso likewise presents in its original state, with Carlton gently arching over a larger number 32 below.

    81381 1969 Roberto Clemente Game Worn Pittsburgh Pirates Pants. He lived a hero of Pittsburgh and died a hero of Nicaragua, his body forever lost at sea following the crash of his overloaded earthquake relief plane in the coastal waters of his native Puerto Rico. Already guaranteed baseball immortality through his eighteen brilliant seasons of Major League service and his newly-minted key to the 3,000 Hit Clubhouse, Roberto Clemente achieved the closest thing to baseball sainthood that tragic last day of 1972, assuring that any artifact once blessed by his touch would be held in the highest of collecting esteem.

    81382 1969 Rod Carew Game Worn Minnesota Twins Jersey. I taught him how to steal home, once noted Billy Martin, who served as the Twins skipper during the 1969 season that the presented jersey saw action. Thats all I ever taught him. As for hitting, he knew how to do that all by himself. Arguably one of the most underrated players occupying a spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame, Carew played Ty Cobbs game long after the attentions of the baseball world had turned to the Babe Ruth model, trading power for placement and brawn for blazing speed. Seven times Carew claimed the American League batting title, the rst being the season he wore this road grey annel, the third year of his service to Minnesota. The jersey exhibits marvelous wear from that breakthrough season for the Panamanian superstar, particularly evident in the puckering of the tackle twill identiers and the softness of the tagging at lower left front tail. Twins is scripted across the chest in navy and red, with Carews retired number 29 applied to verso. The all-important Baseball Centennial patch worn by all 1969 ballclubs remains axed at left sleeve, balanced by a team logo patch on right. Above the Spalding size 40 tagging, the text Carew 29, 40, 69 is embroidered directly into the jersey body in navy thread, while below a Dry Cleaning label sprouts a Set 1 1969 ap tag. The picture-perfect representation is completed by a 10/10 black sharpie inscription from Carew at upper left shoulder, reading Best Wishes, Rod Carew, My 1st Batting Title 1969, .332. Game worn annels from members of the illustrious 3,000 Hit Club seldom surface on the auction circuit, and any opportunity to improve ones personal portfolio with a awless example such as this must be taken seriously. And for the old-school baseball purist, who nds more delight in a double stretched to a triple than a long ball and a slow jog, there is no more tting relic than a game worn jersey from Rod Carews rst great season in the Majors. Jersey is graded MEARS A8, with one point lost for two missing buttons, and another for the absence of the embroidered Carew swatch at interior collar. LOA from MEARS. LOA from Heritage Auctions.

Team owner Charlie Finley continued his assault upon the standard mores of Major League Baseball fashion this season, as he allowed pitcher Jim Grant to stitch his nickname Mudcat onto his jersey instead of the tradition surname. A few teammates quickly followed suit, with Vida Blue choosing to sport his rst name, and Jim Hunter emblazoning his jersey verso with Catsh. A simple restoration job will return this home yellow vest to its original iconoclastic brilliance, as the shirt was unfortunately stripped of its aquatic moniker for secondary minor league usage. All else remains original and unaltered however, with the 27 and logo As on the chest and the larger number 27 on verso clearly rst generation tackle twill. Proper McAulie Uniform Corp label appears at lower left front tail, with 71 year and 46 size tags below. Solid wear throughout, but no damage to note. One of the hippest jerseys in the hobby, dating to the rst of ve consecutive twenty-win seasons for this denitive Mustache Gangster. LOA from Heritage Auctions. Starting Bid: $1,000

    81384 1971-72 Ted Williams Game Worn Texas Rangers Jersey. Arguably the most desirable and signicant artifact relating to the Texas Rangers franchise available to the collecting community, the oered home white jersey once owned and worn by the greatest hitter of all time dates to the very inception of the Lone Star State ballclub. Its a fact proven by a close examination of the jersey front, which clearly exhibits the stitching pattern of the old scripted Senators text beneath the current Rangers lettering, indicating that the shirt was reconditioned as Teddy Ballgame and his team embarked upon their southwestern relocation. The number 9 on verso, worn throughout Williams illustrious playing career, remains unmoved and original to its days in our nations capital. Wilson label at interior collar features embroidered size 48 notation, matching the 1971-Set 2 chain stitching at lower left front tail. Wear is very solid throughout. While any Ted Williams jersey carries enormous collecting appeal, this specimen worn three decades after his greatest season is unquestionably his most noteworthy nonplaying days representation. By virtue of its managerial status, one could eectively argue that this is the very rst Texas Rangers jersey, period. That fact alone establishes the shirt as one of the most historically signicant to be oered in recent memory, even without its connection to one of the games all-time greats. Lower left front tail is autographed in 9+/10 black sharpie. Graded A8 by MEARS, with the two point deduction from a perfect rating due solely to the team-instituted logo change, which is, in our opinion, a huge part of the garments appeal. LOA from MEARS.

    81386 1976 Reggie Jackson Game Issued Oakland As Uniform. Unrealized potential is the theme of the presented lot, which was created for use by the star slugger whose thirty-six long balls in 1975 had been an American League-topping gure. But free agency came calling for Reggie in 1976, and As owner Charlie Finley was unwilling to meet the price.

    81388 1981 Cal Ripken, Jr. Game Worn Baltimore Orioles Rookie Jersey. Simply extraordinary nd derives from the collection of an early hobbyist who was making use of connections within Major League Baseball when game worn jersey collecting was in its infancy. What must have been considered at the time an inconsequential acquisitiona jersey from the coachs kidhas proven over time to become perhaps the most signicant rookie shirt of the past three decades, the only known Cal Ripken, Jr. jersey tagged to the 1981 season. Baseballs future Iron Man was honored as the American League Rookie of the Year in 1982, but Ripken actually made his Big League debut two weeks before his twenty-rst birthday in August of 1981 after spending most of the season in Rochester as a member of the Redwings farm club. His stat line for that abridged rst season provided little hint of the Hall of Fame career to comeve hits and no RBIs in twenty-three games, with a .128 batting average. It would prove to be the rst and last time that Ripken would fail to impress. This inauspicious start makes the survival of the presented road grey knit jersey all the more unlikely. A small handful of Ripken gamers attributed to the 1981 season have been 1980 models stripped of identiers and reworked for Cals secondary usage. The jersey oered here is the only known Ripken tagged to the 1981 season, as lower left interior tail holds proper Rawlings [size] 42 label with Set 1 1981 ap tag and 1 Inch Extra Length tailoring modier. Orange and black tackle twill Orioles 8 on chest is original and unaltered, as is the number 8 on verso. A team instituted plate change is apparent for the name on back, but we must stress that only Ripken wore number 8 for the 1981 season. Solid wear suggests the jersey was carried over for use during Ripkens 1982 Rookie of the Year season as well. LOA from Heritage Auctions. Starting Bid: $5,000

    81390 1982 Wade Boggs Game Worn Boston Red Sox Rookie Jersey. The great Cal Ripken, Jr. would take American League Rookie of the Year honors in 1982, but Boggs was close behind and would eventually join the Iron Man in both the 3,000 Hit Club and the Baseball Hall of Fame. It goes without saying that any rookie jersey from a Cooperstown enshrinee carries enormous historical importance, and this home white knit is certainly no exception. The jersey exhibits extraordinarily strong wear from the young rst basemans debut season at Fenway, particularly apparent in the fraying of the red piping which runs the perimeter of the button path and collar. Red Sox is announced across the chest in the classic Old English font, with number 26 similarly applied in two-tone tackle twill to verso. A well-worn Wilson [size] 42 label is axed at lower left exterior tail, just above an embroidered 82 swatch denoting that important rst season.

Proper Rawlings [size] 42 label is axed at interior collar, and dual 1983 tagging appears at interior lower left tail, clearly indicating that the jersey was carried over for use by Rose the following season. Light but denite wear is evident, appropriate for an abridged seasons use. Perfect black sharpie inscription on the jersey front makes note of the milestone reached as an Expo, but is not meant to suggest that this is the jersey worn for the feat, as that game was at home.

    81436 Late 1920s Executioner Style Leather Football Helmet. In the highly populated category of vintage football helmet collecting, Executioner style examples are unquestionably considered the Holy Grail. A true piece of football history, this amazing style lid basically represents the origin of the facemask. While the gridiron battles seen by this historic sports treasure must be left to the imagination, we can presume that it was worn by a college or professional football team, due to the adult size and red-dyed shell. The Pottsville Maroons? Perhaps. Helmet shows heavy wear, but displays splendidly, as the noseguard portion is actually formed by a factory instituted bent metal plate that is covered with leather. There are no manufacturer markings visible, but we are condent that it is all original and an exceptional representation of the popular helmet style that appears very seldom at auction.

    81438 1924 Green Bay Packers vs. Milwaukee Badgers Program - Only Known Example! Up until only a few years ago, no Green Bay Packers 1924 one-sheet program was known in the hobby. However, on a typical day at a popular Titletown antique shop, that day turned into an important collectible discovery when a small handful of of early 1920s programs walked through the door, and that missing piece of Packers history made an unprecedented appearance. Oered here is an original 8.75x11.5 program, issued by the Green Bay Football Corporation for the October 19, 1924 meeting between the Packers and Milwaukee Badgers. The game ended in a 17-0 victory for the home team Green Bay squad at Bellevue Park, in front of a typical crowd of approximately 4,000-5,000. This amazing gridiron treasure exhibits EX quality, with minor folds throughout. Its front displays both teams rosters, including important names such as Lambeau, Buck and Lewellen, while the program also displays an advertisement for the Packers Northwest Championship future meeting versus the Minneapolis Marines. A remarkable piece, which we are sure even the most discerning Packers collectors have yet to see. Starting Bid: $500

    81439 1925 Rose Bowl Program featuring The Four Horsemen - Stanford vs. Notre Dame. Presented here is one of the toughest and most desirable football programs in the hobby, present in only the most advanced of collections. The reasons for its scarcity are not tough to imagine. First and foremost, we must consider that its more than eight decades old! And secondly, the rather delicate paper stock that was used in its construction makes it far more susceptible to the perils of age than contemporary World Series programs, for example. As such, only a scant few specimens from this Southern California event have survived. The intense desirability of the program is related most directly to the appearance of college footballs storied backeld of Stuhldreher, Layden, Crowley and Miller, dubbed by famed sportswriter Grantland Rice as The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Fine images of the quartet, both individually and as a group, appear within this amazing 16-page publication. The Horsemen did not disappoint their coach Knute Rockne this day, cruising to a 27-10 win over Pop Warners Stanford Cardinal in the Fighting Irishs rst and only Rose Bowl appearance. The program shows an expected degree of wear, with a noticeable amount of paper loss on the front and back covers. It has been neatly scored in pencil, while the inside front and back cover exhibits a light, transparent tacky substance on the surface. There is small tape repair near the top of the binding, which is barely noticeable. A wait for another example will surely be a long one. Starting Bid: $250

    81440 1926 Knute Rockne Signed Goal Post Section - Attributed to Notre Dame vs. Army Game.

Oered here, is a truly historic wooden goal post section, attributed to that memorable game. With a ND 7, ARMY 0 11/13/26 notation written in an unknown hand, with undecipherable writing written on an adjacent side, legendary Notre Dame head coach Knute Rockne signed the .75x1x2.75 relic in 6/10 black ink. The rst of its kind thats ever hit the auction block, this listing provides a nearly impossible chance to obtain an an artifact signed by the fabled sports gure, let alone an item linking it directly to one of the most famous rivalries in school history.

    81464 1954 Ralph Guglielmi Game Worn, Signed Notre Dame Fighting Irish Leather Helmet. During the rst game of Oklahoma Universitys 1953 season, the Sooners faced the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and were narrowly defeated by the college powerhouse 28-21 that day. Being a home game for OU, Sooners sophomore baseball player Joe Snyder worked part time in the athletic departments equipment room during the football season in order to fulll his scholarship requirements. When the game was over the scholarship workers cleaned up after the teams. Snyder went to the Notre Dame locker room and when he got to star quarterback Ralph Guglielmis, he stood on a heat register to look behind the locker. Much to his surprise, there was Guglielmis gorgeous tan leather MacGregor Goldsmith H612 shell. According to a handwritten letter from Guglielmi, which is included in this lot, he lost his helmet after that game, which makes perfect sense. This wonderful nd exhibits moderate wear, while the All-American quarterback signed the interior in Mint black sharpie. Guglielmi went on to be picked No. 4 overall in the NFL Draft, and put together a solid professional career. Any gamers from the Columbus, Ohio native, pro or college, are nearly impossible to obtain and this piece stands alone as one of the best Notre Dame helmets from the 1954 season ever to hit the auction block.

    81466 1959-60 Green Bay Packers Team Signed Football. The smallest city of professional football did achieve early success in the franchises history under the leadership of team founder/coach/player Curly Lambeau, but the decade of the 1950s was one that the folks of Titletown would rather forget. Coming o a dismal 1-10-1 1958 season under the tutelage of head coach Scooter McLean, the Green Bay Packers were basically the joke of the league. That was until 1959 when the team hired a feisty little Italian by the name of Vince Lombardi. In just his rst season with the Packers, Lombardi instilled a winning mindset to his team, and transformed his squad from its losing ways of the previous season, to a formidable record of 7-5-0 in 1959. Oered here is a rare chance to obtain a team-signed football representing the rst two seasons of Lombardis head coaching career. Signed in extremely solid ball-point ink on a lightly worn The Duke Wilson football, the following signatures are presented: Vince Lombardi, Tom Moore, Max McGee, Norm Masters, John Miller, Ray Nitschke, Jerry Kramer, Paul Winslow, Hank Gremminger, Bob Skoronski, Dan Currie, Gary Knafelc, Boyd Dowler, Ron Kramer, Willie Wood, Bart Starr, Dave Hanner, Jim Ringo, Willie Davis, Henry Jordan, Jim Taylor, Forrest Gregg, Phil Bengston, Paul Hornung, Fuzzy Thurston and others.

While our National Pastime has supplied no shortage of front page scandal over the past quarter century, from the banishment of baseballs Hit King to a seemingly endless perp walk of megastar sluggers accused of steroid use, the NFLs nose was kept comparatively clean until a bombshell exploded in southeastern Virginia, when a home owned by star Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was raided as part of a drug investigation of Vicks cousin and an elaborate pit bull ghting operation was discovered.

    81545 Circa 1965-66 Max McGee Game Worn Green Bay Packers Jersey - MEARS A7. Were pretty sure the term clutch wasnt used to describe any player in professional football back in the 1950s or 1960s, but clutch would be a perfect adjective to describe wide receiver Max McGee. Always coming up with the big catch in the most important moment of a signicant game, the Tulane University alum led the NFL in punting yards, while tallying 614 yards and nine touchdowns during his rookie year in 1954. He missed the next two seasons while serving as a pilot in the U.S. Air Force and returned to the Packers as one of the teams few bright spots during the lowly 1-10-1 1958 season. Then, in 1959 everything changed for the Pack, which was a direct result of the teams addition of head coach Vince Lombardi. McGee was a key part of Lombardis impressive receiving core throughout the 1967 season, while he helped his Green and Gold squad win a staggering ve NFL Championships and two Super Bowl titles. Despite reductions in his playing time due to injuries during his nal two seasons,1966 would be the most memorable year of his career. Not expecting to play in Super Bowl I, McGee decided to go out on the town and break curfew the night before the game, and as a result he felt a hangover of Super Bowl proportions on that fateful Sunday. But, after fellow wideout Boyd Dowler went down with a separated shoulder on the Packers second drive, McGee did what he always did when called to the line of duty - he rose to the occasion. McGee quickly made an impact on the game, and caught a 37-yard touchdown from quarterback Bart Starr, which would go down as the rst touchdown in Super Bowl history. Starr would eventually win the games Most Valuable Player award, but few could argue that McGees 138 yards and two touchdowns were not MVP-worthy. Here we present Max McGees green Durene home jersey he wore circa 1965-66, with the Green Bay Packers. Examined via photo analysis by notable Packers jersey expert Guy Hankel, and MEARS authentication, this gridiron rarity has 3/4-length sleeves that have been custom-cut below the sleeve striping. The shoulders are double reinforced as is the ring neck, while the jersey is a full-length cut with side vents on either side of the bottom. Embedded yellow-white-yellow-white-yellow striping adorns the sleeves, with the proper style white tackle-twill numeral 85 is sewn on the front, back and sleeves of the jersey. A Sand Knit [size] 44 tag is located on the lower left bottom of the jersey, while the shirt itself shows extreme wear in the form of heavy piling, small holes in each of the sleeves, scus and snags. Remedial sewing has been done in an eort to reinforce numbers that have become partially detached from the jersey. This type of repairing and wear indicates that it was likely utilized for team practice after its regular season use. The rst McGee gamer ever oered at public auction, and unquestionably one of the nicest in the hobby, this is a spectacular piece from the most signicant period of the beloved Packers memorable career.

    81550 1982 Earl Campbell Game Worn Houston Oilers Jersey - With Denitive Photomatch! To say that this is the best Earl Campbell jersey ever oered is a strong statement, but one we strongly believe. Originally obtained by a Houston Oilers P.R. sta member, this white mesh stunner can be perfectly photomatched to the accompanied signed and personalized 11x14 photograph of the Pro and College Hall of Fame running back legend. Used during Campbells December 19, 1982 contest at Philadelphia, and presumably other games during the later part of his amazing career, it is aligned to the scattering of blood stains and marks that are displayed around the front numerals. Included is the original sideline pass from the game, which helps to solidify the authenticity of the shirt. As typical for Campbell exemplars, this ne jersey has been hemmed at the tail, while screened-on numerals are on the front and back.

    81605 Circa 1929 New York Americans Game Worn Jersey - One of Only a Few Stars and Stripes Examples Known! For the discerning collector with an eye for the remarkable and the extremely scarce, here we oer an original New York Americans game-worn sweater from the late 1920s. According to Heritage Auctions hockey expert Bill Campbell, only three or four examples of this style exist from the memorable squad, which was the second National Hockey League team to play in the United States. The Amerks, who called Madison Square Garden their home, were the third expansion team in league history, and although it never won the Stanley Cup, the team made it to the seminals twice. Founded in 1925, the Americans franchise was canceled in 1946, with its demise marking the beginning of the NHLs Original Six era from 1942 to 1967. A truly historic and patriotic artifact from the rink, this red, white and blue wool garment is arguably the most attractive of all professional hockey sweaters. Presenting AMERICANS and NEW YORK in all-original felt lettering across the front, with the all-important Alex Taylor & Co. tag in the rear interior tail, it presents an impressive scattering of white felt stars across the entire upper portion. Admittedly, its original rear number no longer remains, which is a result of poor quality thread that was used by the team in the 1920s. Notably, it measures to a smaller than average size, which according to Campbell suggests that it may have been worn by one of the teams smaller players, such as famed Hall of Fame goaltender Roy Shrimp Worters. Terric color is displayed throughout, and despite numerous small unrepaired holes in the fabric, its condition is considered above average when compared to similar style jerseys from the era. A true cornerstone piece, this very well may be one of the last opportunities to pick up an original jersey from the gone, but not forgotten New York Americans.

The following Auctions are conducted solely on the Internet: Heritage Weekly Internet Auctions (Coin, Currency, Comics, Rare Books, Jewelry & Watches, Guitars & Musical Instruments, and Vintage Movie Posters); Heritage Monthly Internet Auctions (Sports, World Coins and Rare Wine). Signature Auctions and Grand Format Auctions accept bids from the Internet, telephone, fax, or mail first, followed by a floor bidding session; HeritageLive! and real- time telephone bidding are available to registered clients during these auctions. Bidders: 4. Any person participating or registering for the Auction agrees to be bound by and accepts these Terms and Conditions of Auction (Bidder(s)). 5. All Bidders must meet Auctioneers qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good standing of the Auctioneer may be disqualified at Auctioneers sole option and will not be awarded lots. Such determination may be made by Auctioneer in its sole and unlimited discretion, at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. Auctioneer reserves the right to exclude any person from the auction. 6. If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid. Credit: 7. Bidders who have not established credit with the Auctioneer must either furnish satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references) well in advance of the Auction or supply valid credit card information. Bids placed through our Interactive Internet program will only be accepted from pre-registered Bidders; Bidders who are not members of HA.com or affiliates should pre-register at least 48 hours before the start of the first session (exclusive of holidays or weekends) to allow adequate time to contact references. Credit may be granted at the discretion of Auctioneer. Additionally Bidders who have not previously established credit or who wish to bid in excess of their established credit history may be required to provide their social security number or the last four digits thereof to us so a credit check may be performed prior to Auctioneers acceptance of a bid.

For auctions held solely on the Internet, see the alternatives on HA.com. Review at HA.com/common/howtobid.php. 9. Presentment of Bids: Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to podium, fax, phone and mail bids) are treated similar to floor bids in that they must be on-increment or at a half increment (called a cut bid). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full or half increment and this revised amount will be considered your high bid. 10. Auctioneers Execution of Certain Bids. Auctioneer cannot be responsible for your errors in bidding, so carefully check that every bid is entered correctly. When identical mail or FAX bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, your written bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and be received at Auctioneers place of business at least two business days before the Auction start. Auctioneer is not responsible for executing mail bids or FAX bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold, nor Internet bids submitted after the published closing time; nor is Auctioneer responsible for proper execution of bids submitted by telephone, mail, FAX, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the Auction begins. Bids placed electronically via the internet may not be withdrawn until your written request is received and acknowledged by Auctioneer (FAX: 214-443-8425); such requests must state the reason, and may constitute grounds for withdrawal of bidding privileges. Lots won by mail Bidders will not be delivered at the Auction unless prearranged. 11. Caveat as to Bid Increments. Bid increments (over the current bid level) determine the lowest amount you may bid on a particular lot. Bids greater than one increment over the current bid can be any whole dollar amount. It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to be between increments, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment. Please see: How can I lose by less than an increment? on our website. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only. No buy or unlimited bids will be accepted.

If Auctioneer calls for a full increment, a bidder may request Auctioneer to accept a bid at half of the increment (Cut Bid) only once per lot. After offering a Cut Bid, bidders may continue to participate only at full increments. Off-increment bids may be accepted by the Auctioneer at Signature Auctions and Grand Format Auctions. If the Auctioneer solicits bids other than the expected increment, these bids will not be considered Cut Bids. Conducting the Auction: 13. Notice of the consignors liberty to place bids on his lots in the Auction is hereby made in accordance with Article 2 of the Texas Business and Commercial Code. A Minimum Bid is an amount below which the lot will not sell. THE CONSIGNOR OF PROPERTY MAY PLACE WRITTEN Minimum Bids ON HIS LOTS IN ADVANCE OF THE AUCTION; ON SUCH LOTS, IF THE HAMMER PRICE DOES NOT MEET THE Minimum Bid, THE CONSIGNOR MAY PAY A REDUCED COMMISSION ON THOSE LOTS. Minimum Bids are generally posted online several days prior to the Auction closing. For any successful bid placed by a consignor on his Property on the Auction floor, or by any means during the live session, or after the Minimum Bid for an Auction have been posted, we will require the consignor to pay full Buyers Premium and Sellers Commissions on such lot. 14. The highest qualified Bidder recognized by the Auctioneer shall be the Buyer. In the event of a tie bid, the earliest bid received or recognized wins. In the event of any dispute between any Bidders at an Auction, Auctioneer may at his sole discretion reoffer the lot. Auctioneers decision and declaration of the winning Bidder shall be final and binding upon all Bidders. Bids properly offered, whether by floor Bidder or other means of bidding, may on occasion be missed or go unrecognized; in such cases, the Auctioneer may declare the recognized bid accepted as the winning bid, regardless of whether a competing bid may have been higher. 15. Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse to honor any bid or to limit the amount of any bid, in its sole discretion. A bid is considered not made in Good Faith when made by an insolvent or irresponsible person, a person under the age of eighteen, or is not supported by satisfactory credit, collectibles references, or otherwise. Regardless of the disclosure of his identity, any bid by a consignor or his agent on a lot consigned by him is deemed to be made in Good Faith. Any person apparently appearing on the OFAC list is not eligible to bid. 16. Nominal Bids. The Auctioneer in its sole discretion may reject nominal bids, small opening bids, or very nominal advances. If a lot bearing estimates fails to open for 4060% of the low estimate, the Auctioneer may pass the item or may place a protective bid on behalf of the consignor. 17. Lots bearing bidding estimates shall open at Auctioneers discretion (approximately 50%-60% of the low estimate). In the event that no bid meets or exceeds that opening amount, the lot shall pass as unsold. 18. All items are to be purchased per lot as numerically indicated and no lots will be broken. Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw, prior to the close, any lots from the Auction. 19. Auctioneer reserves the right to rescind the sale in the event of nonpayment, breach of a warranty, disputed ownership, auctioneers clerical error or omission in exercising bids and reserves, or for any other reason and in Auctioneers sole discretion. In cases of nonpayment, Auctioneers election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees (sellers and buyers premium) and any other damages or expenses pertaining to the lot. 20. Auctioneer occasionally experiences Internet and/or Server service outages, and Auctioneer periodically schedules system downtime for maintenance and other purposes, during which Bidders cannot participate or place bids. If such outages occur, we may at our discretion extend bidding for the Auction. Bidders unable to place their Bids through the Internet are directed to contact Client Services at 1-800-872-6467. 21. The Auctioneer, its affiliates, or their employees consign items to be sold in the Auction, and may bid on those lots or any other lots. Auctioneer or affiliates expressly reserve the right to modify any such bids at any time prior to the hammer based upon data made known to the Auctioneer or its affiliates. The Auctioneer may extend advances, guarantees, or loans to certain consignors. 22. The Auctioneer has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction. Such lots shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such sales including but not limited to the Buyers Premium, return rights, and disclaimers. Payment: 23. All sales are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier checks, travelers checks, eChecks, and bank money orders, all subject to reporting requirements). All are subject to clearing and funds being received in Auctioneers account before delivery of the purchases. Auctioneer reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes good funds when drawn on a U.S. bank for ten days, and thirty days when drawn on an international bank. Credit Card (Visa or Master Card only) and PayPal payments may be accepted up to $10,000 from non-dealers at the sole discretion of the Auctioneer, subject to the following limitations: a) sales are only to the cardholder, b) purchases are shipped to the cardholders registered and verified address, c) Auctioneer may preapprove the cardholders credit line, d) a credit card transaction may not be used in conjunction with any other financing or extended terms offered by the Auctioneer, and must transact immediately upon invoice presentation, e) rights of return are governed by these Terms and Conditions, which supersede those conditions promulgated by the card issuer, f) floor Bidders must present their card. 24. Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. Auctioneer reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within 7 days after the close of the Auction. In cases of nonpayment, Auctioneers election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees (sellers and buyers premium) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot. 25. Lots delivered to you, or your representative in the States of Texas, California, New York, or other states where the Auction may be held, are subject to all applicable state and local taxes, unless appropriate permits are on file with Auctioneer. (Note: Coins are only subject to sales tax in California on invoices under $1500 and in Texas on invoices under $1000. Check the Web site at: http://coins. ha.com/c/ref/sales-tax.zx for more details.) Bidder agrees to pay Auctioneer the actual amount of tax due in the event that sales tax is not properly collected due to: 1) an expired, inaccurate, inappropriate tax certificate or declaration, 2) an incorrect interpretation of the applicable statute, 3) or any other reason. The appropriate form or certificate must be on file at and verified by Auctioneer five days prior to Auction or tax must be paid; only if such form or certificate is received by Auctioneer within 4 days after the Auction can a refund of tax paid be made. Lots from different Auctions may not be aggregated for sales tax purposes. 26. In the event that a Bidders payment is dishonored upon presentment(s), Bidder shall pay the maximum statutory processing fee set by applicable state law. If you attempt to pay via eCheck and your financial institution denies this transfer from your bank account, or the payment cannot be completed using the selected funding source, you agree to complete payment using your credit card on file. 27. If any Auction invoice submitted by Auctioneer is not paid in full when due, the unpaid balance will bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law from the date of invoice until paid. Any invoice not paid when due will bear a three percent (3%) late fee on the invoice amount or three percent (3%) of any installment that is past due. If the Auctioneer refers any invoice to an attorney for collection, the buyer agrees to pay attorneys fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by Auctioneer. If Auctioneer assigns collection to its in-house legal staff, such attorneys time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate comparable to the hourly rate of independent attorneys. 28. In the event a successful Bidder fails to pay any amounts due, Auctioneer reserves the right to sell the lot(s) securing the invoice to any underbidders in the Auction that the lot(s) appeared, or at subsequent private or public sale, or relist the lot(s) in a future auction conducted by Auctioneer. A defaulting Bidder agrees to pay for the reasonable costs of resale (including a 10% sellers commission, if consigned to an auction conducted by Auctioneer). The defaulting Bidder is liable to pay any difference between his total original invoice for the lot(s), plus any applicable interest, and the net proceeds for the lot(s) if sold at private sale or the subsequent hammer price of the lot(s) less the 10% sellers commissions, if sold at an Auctioneers auction.

    Terms and Conditions of Auction


    Additional Terms & Conditions: SPORTS COLLECTIBLES AUCTIONS
    SPORTS COLLECTIBLES TERM A: Signature Auctions are not on approval. No certified material may be returned because of possible differences of opinion with respect to the grade offered by any third-party organization, dealer, or service. No guarantee of grade is offered for uncertified Property sold and subsequently submitted to a third-party grading service. There are absolutely no exceptions to this policy. Under extremely limited circumstances, (e.g. gross cataloging error) a purchaser, who did not bid from the floor, may request Auctioneer to evaluate voiding a sale; such request must be made in writing detailing the alleged gross error, and submission of the lot to the Auctioneer must be pre-approved by the Auctioneer; A bidder must notify the appropriate department head (check the inside front cover of the catalog or our website for a listing of department heads) in writing of such request within three (3) days of the mail bidders receipt of the lot. Any lot that is to be evaluated must be in our offices within 30 days after Auction. Grading does not qualify for this evaluation process nor do such complaints constitute a basis to challenge the authenticity of a lot. AFTER THAT 30-DAY PERIOD, NO LOTS MAY BE RETURNED FOR REASONS OTHER THAN AUTHENTICITY. Lots returned must be housed intact in the original holder. No lots purchased by floor Bidders (including those Bidders acting as agents for others) may be returned. Late remittance for purchases may be considered just cause to revoke all return privileges. SPORTS COLLECTIBLES TERM B: Auctions conducted solely on the Internet THREE (3) DAY RETURN POLICY.

After the three-day period (from receipt), no items may be returned for any reason. Late remittance for purchases revokes all Return privileges. SPORTS COLLECTIBLES TERM C: Bidders who have inspected the lots or had the opportunity to Inspect the lots prior to any Auction will not be granted any return privileges. SPORTS COLLECTIBLES TERM D: Sportscards sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold as is without any express or implied warranty.

Box 57042 Irvine, Ca. 92619; Beckett Grading Service (BGS), 15850 Dallas Parkway, Dallas TX 75248. SPORTS COLLECTIBLES TERM E: On any lot presented with a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) issued by Auctioneer or its Heritage affiliates, that warranty inures only to the original purchaser (as shown in Auctioneers records) Purchaser. Purchaser may not transfer the rights afforded under the LOA and it is null and void when Purchaser transfers or attempts to transfer the lot. The LOA warranty is valid from date of the auction in which Purchaser was awarded the lot to four (4) years after its purchase. The LOA warranty is valid as to its attribution to the person or entity described or to the lots usage, e.g. game worn. Claim procedure: Purchaser must contact the Auctioneer prior to submission of the lot as to his intent to make a claim and arrange secure shipment. If a lots authenticity is questioned by Purchaser within the warranty period, Purchaser must present with the claim, authoritative written evidence that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the sports field. If Auctioneer concurs that the lot is not as represented, Purchaser shall be refunded their purchase price. If the Auctioneer denies the claim, the Purchaser may file the dispute with the American Arbitration Association with locale in Dallas, Texas, before a single arbitration under expedited rules. The LOA does not provide for incidental or consequential damages or other indirect damages. Any lot sold with a certificate of authenticity or other warranty from an entity other than Auctioneer or Heritages affiliates is subject to such issuing entitys rules and such conditions are the sole remedy afforded to purchaser. For information as to third party authentication warranties the bidder is directed to: PSA/DNA, P.O. Box 6180 Newport Beach, CA 92658 (800) 325-1121.

After one year has elapsed, Auctioneers maximum liability shall be limited to any commissions and fees Auctioneer earned on that lot. SPORTS COLLECTIBLES TERM G: Auctioneer shall not be liable for any patent or latent defect or controversy pertaining to or arising from any encapsulated collectible. In any such instance, purchasers remedy, if any, shall be solely against the service certifying the collectible. SPORTS COLLECTIBLES TERM H: Due to changing grading standards over time, differing interpretations, and to possible mishandling of items by subsequent owners, Auctioneer reserves the right to grade items differently than shown on certificates from any grading service that accompany the items. Auctioneer also reserves the right to grade items differently than the grades shown in the prior catalog should such items be reconsigned to any future auction. SPORTS COLLECTIBLES TERM I: Although consensus grading is employed by most third-party services, it should be noted as aforesaid that grading is not an exact science. In fact, it is entirely possible that if a lot is broken out of a plastic holder and resubmitted to another grading service or even to the same service, the lot could come back with a different grade assigned. SPORTS COLLECTIBLES TERM J: Certification does not guarantee protection against the normal risks associated with potentially volatile markets. The degree of liquidity for certified collectibles will vary according to general market conditions and the particular lot involved. For some lots there may be no active market at all at certain points in time. For wiring instructions call the Credit department at 1-800-872-6467 or e-mail: CreditDept@HA.com
