Letter To Readers
Absolutely loaded with material, this is by far the deepest auction of this type that we have ever run. We
want to thank our many loyal consignors for making this possible. This is our unique to the industry affordable auction, with almost all lots carrying a retail value of $500 or less and low minimum bids with no reserves.
We also want to mention that we are actively seeking out high quality consignments for our next major auction in
January 2016 – the deadline for this is December 7.
This auction contains several fresh and exciting collections, wonderful and interesting baseball autographs, our
best selection ever of signed football helmets and our best offering ever of vintage baseball tickets, pins and
photos. Day one is all about baseball autographs, mostly flats. We open with a terrific run of 75 different signed
Burke photos, all directly from the personal collection of star third baseman Ken Keltner. We continue with
signed cards, with note to a run of 1941 Play Balls, many tough 1950s vintage signed cards, and some fine group
lots and partial sets from the 1960s through the 1990s. Collectors of 3x5s and cuts will see a strong selection of
classic HOFers, many in terrific condition as well as many rarities.
As always with these auctions, there is a tremendous run of signed 8x10s, spread out over a full 100 lots.
Highlights include a high grade Mantle/Maris 8x10, a fine 1959 Braves team signed photo, several Mickey
Mantles, Heinie Manush, two terrific Casey Stengel signed original images and many terrific group lots.
Others items of note include a terrific run of signed jerseys, also perhaps our best ever, including Mickey Mantle,
Ted Lyons (rare), George Kelly (rare), Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and Willie Mays. We have many outstanding
oversize images, including classic images of Jeter and Rivera, a classic DiMaggio/Mantle/Martin/Ford, a
Leroy Neiman of Mike Schmidt and much more. Many very desirable signed vintage programs close out day one,
including a terrific 1969 All Star Game signed program, several vintage Mantle and Williams signed magazines
and two programs with Gil Hodges.
Day two begins with a small but nice selection of baseball cards from 1950 to the present. There are many
interesting oddball and regional issues, high grade singles and contemporary complete sets. Basketball collectors
will see a rare authentic Michael Jordan signed Beckett magazine, a superb Chamberlain/Russell signed 16x20, a
1955 All Star game box and 1957 All Star Game program. Football collectors should have a field day here, with
a tremendous selection of signed full size helmets, several signed jerseys, a run of vintage 3x5s signed by classic
HOFers and many fine oversize signed items. Hockey is very well represented here, starting with the original banner welcoming the athletes to the 1980 Winter Olympic Games, many terrific oversize signed images, fine jerseys
from Mario Lemieux and Bobby Orr and many higher quality group lots.
Baseball memorabilia is as deep as ever for this auction, including a fresh run of vintage World Series tickets
going back to 1930, many key signed tickets from classic games, several very scarce pre-1960 pennants, some
terrific vintage photos going back to the 1920s, perhaps our best offering ever of photos, many desirable
pinbacks and several scarce vintage baseballs in the original boxes among so much more. Pub collectors will
see a small but nice run of World Series programs going back to 1929, many classic team yearbooks from the
1950s and 1960s and several better All Star Game programs.
We end the auction on a very high note with over 350 different lots of single signed, multi-signed and
team-signed baseballs. Single signed balls include many tough deceased singles, with note to Walt Alston,
Mickey Cochrane, Mike Garcia, Jim Hegan, the most affordable Babe Ruth in the world and a vintage signed
Warren Spahn. We have our usual tremendous selection of HOFers, many with desirable inscriptions and some
better singles from current and recently retired players. There are many terrific group lots of single signed balls
in various themes, which offer some of the best values in the entire memorabilia market right now.
Multi-signed balls include many desirable Old Timer balls and other interesting baseballs. Team balls range from
1929 – 2006. There are many better Yankee team balls going back to 1950, several very scarce Minor League
team balls, a 1985 Royals Championship ball and some All Star balls.
In sum, if you collect vintage autographs or memorabilia, this should be an extremely enjoyable auction to
review and again thank you to our consignors and bidders for making this possible.

PR Director at the time. This measures 12x16 and was
published in the Daily News on July 26, 1966 to celebrate
Casey Stengel’s induction into the HOF. Charming piece,

A classic image, this superb 11x14 image of these four
Yankees in pinstripes is from an Old Timers Day game in

Johnny Keane (D’67), Dick Groat and the vital Curt
Flood. Very nice piece. JSA LOA.
639 1969 All Star Program w/22 signatures 9.5.........150
Good piece, this is an original 1969 All Star Game program missing its cover (this likely can be swapped out if
desired). The autographs are of remarkable quality, all
vintage, with a special note to a gorgeous Willie Mays.
There are 11 total HOFers here, including Aaron, Bench,
Mays, Carlton, Banks, Niekro, Gibson, Marichal, Perez
and Santo. It would be hard to find a nicer group of autographs, all signed in the perfect place, from this era.

9......................60
This is a program for Earl Averill in 1973 in Everett,
Washington. This uncommon 5 1/2 x 8 program is notable
as it is signed by HOFer Earl Averill personally on the

from the 1960s. Loaded with HOFers and name players,
this is a real treasure. Clearly collected with great care,
we love the multi-signed images including Reese/Rizzuto

on something like this), Hank Greenberg, Joe DiMaggio,
Frankie Frisch, Lefty Grove, Zack Wheat, Gabby Hartnett, Lefty O’Doul (D’69), Red Rolfe, Medwick, Konstanty,

Desirable and uncommon hand signed Mickey Mantle
Salvino statue. This is a unique pose of an outstretched
Mantle making a catch. The signature is about an 8/10
overall. Please note this does not come with the original
box or paperwork and part of Mickey’s arm is broken off
(we assume this can be smartly glued back in place by a
skilled person). The autograph is not affected in any way.

Signed Bats and Related
671 1974 New York Mets Tour Japan Bat
(possibly rare)
Ex-Mt.............45
This is a rare baseball bat issued in commemoration of the
1974 New York Mets Tour of Japan. Issued to the team’s
Public Relations Director, Harold Weissman, who has his
name printed on the barrel both in English and in Japanese. The bat bears the center brand label from the manufacturer Tamazawa and displays a custom gold plaque that
reads, In Commemoration of the 1974 New York Mets,
Goodwill Tour of Japan, Oct 26 - Nov 20. This is the first
of these bats that we have seen.
672 1981 Kansas City Royals Team
Signed Jerry Grote Game Bat
9.5.................100
Fun bat, this is a true Jerry Grote game model bat, with a
letter from PSA. The bat is an H&B that is 34 inches long
and weighs 31 ounces. This has no game use, which perhaps is good, as this allows for perfect display and presentation of the 25-30 superb black sharpie signatures. Keys
include scarcities Dick Howser and Dan Quisenberry, as
well as McRae, Wathan, White, Otis and Wilson. It should
not be too difficult to add George Brett. Good bat.
JSA LOA.
675 Bonds, Barry Special 600 Home Run Bat 9.5........75
Very good signed bat, this is a special Barry Bonds SAM
model with his hologram. Signed Barry Bonds 8-9-02 600
HR in silver sharpie, fine signature contrasts nicely against
the dark bat. This has Bonds’s 600 hologram and is a
limited edition, naturally of 600, 131/600. We have not seen
one of these until now, I cannot imagine what this ran our
consignor at the time! JSA LOA.
676 Carter, Gary Stat Bat and Ball Display 9.5..........50
Fine looking black display case contains a terrific single
signed Gary Carter stat bat with all sorts of wonderful detail and also a Mint single signed ball with an HOF inscription. Perfect pairing. JSA LOA.

signed balls. JSA LOA.
678 Koufax/Ryan/Feller (JSA LOA) 9....................100
Offered is a big stick bat signed by three key HOF pitchers, each of whom has also thrown multiple no hitters.
Signed as follows: Sandy Koufax 4 No Hit, Bob Feller 3
No Hit and Nolan Ryan 5 No Hit. The signatures are all in
spotless blue sharpie. Fairly unique signed bat, we have
not seen anything like this until now - how much do you
think just the Koufax cost our consignor?
679 Rizzuto, Phil Signed Stat Bat (JSA LOA) 9.5.........50
Now scarce, offered is a clean custom Phil Rizzuto Holy
Cow model bat. Signed by Rizzuto with all sorts of wonderful statistical detail, very nice. Edition piece, 83/100.
