Nearly all items have a retail value of $500 or less and carry very low minimum bids. This auction runs over two days. Day one is all about baseball autographs. We begin with a strong selection of signed 1933 Who’s Who pages. These are generally gorgeous fountain pen signatures from 1933, with some notable pieces, including Moe Berg, Jim Bottomley, the rare Bill Cissell, Bill Klem, Connie Mack, Rabbit Maranville and Tom Yawkey with Eddie Collins among others. The auction continues with an especially deep selection of signed cards. We have a rare 1933 Goudey Johnny Welch (D’1940) signed card, a solid selection of popular 1950s Topps and Bowman signed cards including scarcities, several Nellie Fox and Elston Howard and Ken Boyer signed cards, two superb Roger Maris signed cards, a terrific pair of 1976 and 1977 Topps Lyman Bostock signed cards and many nice HOFer and other group lots from the 1980s. Signed 8x10 photos are a real high point of this auction. Among our strongest offerings ever, there are many beautiful images of classic HOFers like Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle and Ted Williams as well as a terrific 1938 All Star Game 8x10, a scarce 1967 Red Sox UDA print with Ted Williams, many fine multi-player signed images, a spotless Hank Greenberg, a scarce Earle Combs, a very scarce Harry Hooper and many fine group lots. We have an exceptionally deep selection of signed 3x5s, cuts and related, including several autographs that are so rare that JSA could not even find an example to compare against! Selected highlights include Fred Clarke, Pat Collins, Bobby Lowe, Roger Maris, a vintage Willie Mays, Ed Walsh and a 1940s Ted Williams. Rare cuts include Buck Herzog, Herb Pennock and George Stallings among many others. We have some nice Black and White HOF signed plaques and a strong offering of signed Yellow HOF Plaques. Collectors of oversize signed photos will see many terrific Mickey Mantle pieces and a very nice DiMaggio/Williams 16x20 among others. Signed letters are a real highpoint of this auction. We have many letters with utterly fascinating content from various 1920s and 1930s New York Giants, this is really a section to review carefully as letters of this quality hardly ever come to market. Day two begins with some fine basketball autographed items. Highlights include two quality early 1990s Boston Celtics team signed basketballs, both with Reggie Lewis and one with Larry Bird, several period Bill Russell autographs and a simply wonderful selection of 1940s NBA programs and better NBA and ABA programs from the 1960s and 1970s, several of which are period signed and in their own section. This type of material is very scarce. Boxing collectors will see several nice Ali items as always, as well as some scarce signed photos and some good group lots. Football is very strong in this auction, with note to a strong selection of quality HOF signed cards from the 1970s and 1980s, several better 3x5s, a run of signed helmets and many fine oversize items. Hockey is stronger than usual, with some nice signed hockey sticks, a run of signed pucks and many clean photos and cards signed by classic HOFers. Baseball memorabilia is another strong point of this auction. We have a wonderful selection of pinbacks dating back to the 1920s, both player and team pins, with some pins that are likely rare. We have a solid offering of quality vintage baseball tickets, including many very high grade full tickets from the late 1960s and early 1970s. We also have desirable black bats from the 1974 All Star Game and 1978 Yankees, some better early postcards and other items. Baseball pub collectors will see the usual selection of World Series programs, All Star Game programs and team yearbooks among other items. Signed baseballs conclude the auction. Single signed ball collectors will see 50 different deceased singles as individual lots, with note to Norm Cash, Burleigh Grimes, Charlie Grimm, Stan Hack, Ted Kluszewski, Eddie Lopat among others. Collectors of HOFers will see an amazing nearly 100 different lots, with two Mantles, DiMaggio, Drysdale, Koufax, Williams and a vintage Aaron. There are some amazing value lots here as well. Collectors of multi-signed baseballs will see several higher quality old timers balls, HOF balls and other interesting thematic signed baseballs. Team balls go back to the 1930s and include several very scarce 1940s wartime balls, several All Star balls going back to the 1950s, some tough 1960s Twins balls and our usual selection of team balls from 1980 – 2000. We are currently actively seeking out high quality consignments for our next major auction in late May. Fine items already in this auction include perhaps the finest collection of post-war oddball and regional baseball card issues, mainly complete sets, including a 1963 Colt 45s Bateman in a PSA 7, amazing early autographs, a 2000 New York Yankees World Series ring and much more. Please email or call us with any items you might have for the auction.

Signed in spotless green fountain pen, a terrific signature. D’1965, good piece. JSA LOA. 2 Berg, Moe 9.5................ 210 Everyone’s favorite spy. This is a scarce career fountain pen signature of Berg (most autographs from Berg are much letter). The autograph is right on his image and looks terrific. Signed 8x10s of Berg are essentially non-existent, this is as close as almost any collector will ever get to one. Please note the back of this is signed by Larry Benton, a 1923-1935 pithcer for the Braves, Giants and Reds who died in 1953 at age 55. Terrific page.

JSA LOA. 5 Bottomley, Jim 9.5................ 210 Gorgeous signature from this elusive HOFer, this is a stunning fountain pen autograph from the 1930s signed right on his image. Bottomley died in 1959 and is one of the harder HOFers to find on single signed items, especially something this big and nice. JSA LOA. 6 Brennan, Don (rare) + Ed Brandt (rare) 9.5............. 125 Very fine page, this 1933 Yankee and 1937 Giant died in 1953 at age 49. Signed in spotless dark fountain pen on his image, there cannot be very many of these around. As if that is not enough, the back is signed by the rare Ed Brandt (D’1944 at age 39), Amazing combination, fresh to market, this has been sitting in a Barry Halper binder of NY Giants autographs for decades. JSA LOA. 7 Brown, Clint 9.5.................. 53 Very tough Who’s Who page as Brown died in 1955 at only age 52. Signed in fountain pen in the 1930s, Brown played from 1928-1942 for the Indians and White Sox. JSA LOA. 8 Burnett, Johnny 9.5.................. 44 Scarce Who’s Who page as this 1927-1935 Indian and Brown died in 1959 at only age 54. Signed in the 1930s in fountain pen, very nice.

JSA LOA. 6 11 Clarke/Snyder (JSA LOA) 9.5.................. 60 Dual page, signed by both New York Giants. Frank Snyder (D’62) and Coach Thomas Clarke (D’1945 at age 57) are the two autographs, the second autograph naturally quite rare. 12Connolly, Tom Signed Page 9.5................ 175 Rare umpire Who’s Who page, this is special as it has a huge and Mint Tom Connolly (HOF; D’1961). This is signed by umpire Bill Summers (D’66).

JSA LOA. 19Harris, Bucky (signed 1930s) 9.5.................. 35 Mint signature of this uncommon HOFer from 1933. Impeccable quality. JSA LOA. 20Hoyt, Waite 9.5.................. 35 Superb fountain pen signature from 1933, the autograph of this 1927 Yankee HOFer is undervalued when signed as a player.

JSA LOA. 32O’Doul, Lefty (stunning quality)9.5.................. 80 Absolutely gorgeous, this is signed Frank Lefty O’Doul in Mint fountain pen, this should grade a 15 on a scale of 1-10.

Both signatures are in impeccable black fountain pen. JSA LOA. 28Manush, Heinie & Rabbit Maranville 9.5....... 175 Great page, one side is signed by very elusive HOFer Rabbit Maranville (D’1954 at age 62). Maranville signed this in large and fine fountain pen. The back features a Mint signature in fountain pen of fellow HOFer Heinie Manush on his image, a real stunner. Manush died in 1971, but hardly ever comes around on an image from the 1930s signed at the time. JSA LOA. 7 April 6-7 Auction: Baseball Autographs Signed Who’s Who Pages 34 Red Sox Execs w/Collins & Yawkey 9.5................ 280 Great Who’s Who page, this is remarkable as it is signed by all four pictured.

Brush in flowing period ink on the front AND back. Please note there is damage just above his signature on the front. This document also has the original Cincinnati Reds corporate seal. Brush plays a key role in the vital history of baseball in this era and is certainly a potential HOFer. He was involved in the rules for the World Series and passed away in 1912. Brush documents are rare and desirable. JSA LOA. 702 Carey, Max 9..................... 23 Great content here, this is a short letter from 1968 in response to a request to send a signed photo: Yeah!

Signed Irene and Arthur on the bottom. Important Yankee coach; D’50. JSA LOA. 711 Frick, Ford (important content) 9.5................ 120 Key Frick TLS is on MLB letterhead dated 9/15/58. This is written to Arthur Macoskey and reads in part: “I have said many times and still believe that expansion of the Major Leagues is inevitable. It is entirely possible that expansion might take the form of a third Major League using existing AAA franchises, as you suggest”. Incredible content, as Branch Rickey looked into a third league, and Major League baseball began its own expansion in 1961. JSA LOA. 712 Frick, Ford 9.5.................. 38 TLS from 1962 relating to league business for a First Year Player Rule. Signed boldly by Frick in period blue ink.

Content reads as follows: “Babe Ruth was the greatest all around ball player of all Hank Aaron no comparison”! Funny as Terry’s obnoxious dimissal of the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1934 as player-manager of the Giants almost certainly cost them the pennant. I guess Terry really likes to speak his mind but perhaps we all would with a .400 season in our past! JSA LOA. 724 Weiss, George 9..................... 45 Clean TLS from 1938 on Newark letterhead. Signed in bold black fountain pen, very nice signature. HOF executive; D’71. JSA LOA. 725 Wheat, Zack 9.5.................. 30 Short note on the back of a 3x5 regarding an autograph request.

Please note this autograph is so rare that JSA could not find an example, so they did not render an opinion either way. 730 Schacht, Al (+ 2 other items) 9.5.................. 30 Outstanding piece, this is a TLS with simply incredible content as Schacht details the story of his baseball life, including the source of his nickname. The letter is signed in large and bold black sharpie. Also included is an signed 8x10 of Schacht (scarce) and a signed postcard.

The edges have tape, but most of the writing, and the autograph, are not terribly affected. Quality player from 1915-1929, Nehf was a 184-120 career pitcher. D’1960, there are not very many of these around. JSA LOA. 719 Peel, Homer (incredible content) 9.5.................. 75 Remarkably insightful letter, this is a real gem. Peel, a 1933 Giant, goes into tremendous detail about his performance in the 1933 World Series and baseball in general, states that he was a superior player to his friend (and future HOFer) Joe Medwick, mentions Bill Terry and near the close: “Baseball has certainly changed since I left the game. I fear the astronomical salaries some of the present day players are receiving will run the same. So many of the clubs are losing money”. Written in 1980, this two-sided ALS has a superb signature.
