Letter To Readers
Our current auction is our unique to the industry affordable all sports autograph and memorabilia auction.
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.
Prices have NEVER BEEN Better for top material.

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.

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.

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.
13Daly, Tom/Al Schacht (JSA LOA) 9.5............... 70
Rare autograph of this deadball era player for the Red Sox,
Indians and Cubs and long-time Red Sox coach. Daly

17Gowdy, Hank (JSA LOA)
9.5.................. 26
18Grove, Lefty
9.5.................. 70
Fine piece as this is a super bold fountain pen signature
signed by Grove as a player (99% of all Grove autographs in
the hobby are in blue ballpoint ink from the 1950s through
the 1970s). A terrific value, this is so undervalued at current
market levels given the historic stature of Grove. JSA LOA.
19Harris, Bucky (signed 1930s) 9.5.................. 35
Mint signature of this uncommon HOFer from 1933.
Impeccable quality. JSA LOA.
20Hoyt, Waite

Superb fountain pen signature from 1933, the autograph of
this 1927 Yankee HOFer is undervalued when signed as a
player. JSA LOA.

22 Jones, Sad Sam (D’66)/Buck Jordan (JSA LOA) 8........ 21
23Kerr, Dickey
9.5.................. 53
Desirable as Kerr was one the 1919 Black Sox. Kerr died in
1963 and is scarce on single signed items, especially this
size. Signed in the 1930s in fountain pen in the top margin,
a solid signature. JSA LOA.
29McKechnie, Bill
9.5................ 140
Desirable earlier full 8x10 signed page of this HOF manager.
Signed in large and flowing fountain pen, the autograph is
terrific. McKechnie died in 1965. JSA LOA.

Quite a page, one side is signed by rare 1929-1931 A’s player
Eric McNair (D’1949 at age 39); the other side is signed by
Marty McManus (D’66). Each side is signed boldly in
fountain pen. JSA LOA.

9.5.................. 18
Both sides of this page are signed, each in superb fountain
pen. The front is signed by Jo Jo Moore (D’2001, sec), the
back by Johnny Moore (D’91). 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.
Important player in developing baseball in Japan and with
the Pacific Coast League, O’Doul was also a career .349
hitter with two batting titles. Great piece; the back side is
signed by Bob O’Farrell. JSA LOA.

Connie Mack himself in bold black fountain pen; this is also
signed by team traveling secretary Rudolph Van Owl.
JSA LOA.
27Mack, Earle/Blackburne9.5.................. 35
Neat page as it is signed by both pictured: Earle Mack (D’67)
and former deadball era player and coach Lena Blackburne
(D’68). 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.

Red Sox team secretaries. The autographs look terrific, there

524Stallings, George
9................... 150
Rare autograph, Stallings was the manager of the famous
1914 Miracle Boston Braves team and is known to many
collectors from his unforgettable cover image on the World
Series program from that year. Stallings played briefly
for the 1890 Brooklyn Dodgers and 1897-8 Phillies (player-manager). He managed the Braves from 1913 - 1920 and
also managed the Yankees in 1909-1910 and the Tigers in
1901. Stallings died in 1929 and is naturally a very rare
autograph. The offered lot is a clean cut from a document,
signed GT Stallings in flowing ink, neatly mounted to a 3x5.
This should be of tremendous interest to both an advanced
Boston Braves collector and also Yankee collectors as he
managed the 1909-1910 Highlanders. JSA LOA.

Very neat piece, this is a partial album page mounted to a
3x5. Verified as a 1942 based on the mix of players, this is
great as 1942 was Ted Williams’s first Triple Crown season.
In a bit of an injustice, he lost out on the MVP voting to
Yankee Joe Gordon by only 21 votes. Signed neatly in pencil,
the other signatures include Pesky, Peacock, Chase, Conroy
and Carey. Very interesting early Ted Williams autograph
that can be dated to a historic season. JSA LOA.

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.

723 Terry, Bill (great content)9.5.................. 90
Funny letter, signed twice by Terry. 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.

Lesser 1911-12 Red Sox, 1914 Cardinal and Cub died in

did not render an opinion either way.
730 Schacht, Al (+ 2 other items)

McCarthy, Joe (JSA LOA)
9..................... 15
718 Nehf, Art
9.5................ 150
Rare, this is a small ALS that is a warm reply to a request to
sign a baseball. 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. Where do you find letters like this? JSA LOA.

a photo come to market? Fresh to the hobby, very nice piece.

signed photo in a Yankee uniform? Offered is a trimmed
6 1/2 x 7 team issue photo from the late 1940s. Signed, inscribed and dated 1955 in jet black fountain pen the
