Letter To Readers
Our current catalog has a fine 2-day auction with all manner of interesting autographs and memorabilia from all of
the major sports. This is our affordable auction, with almost all lots carrying a retail value of $500 or less and very
low minimum bids. We will also be exhibiting at the National Convention in Chicago; we will have an extensive
display of items for sale and we will be very actively seeking out high quality items for consignment and purchase
for our future auctions. Prices have never been better, now is a great time to consider our auctions.
This auction ends on Wednesday August 5 and Thursday August 6. Day one is all about baseball autographs.
We begin with a very substantial offering of signed baseball cards. A white-hot category in recent years, we have
vintage HOF cards going back to the 1940s, scarce cards for set collectors and many terrific partial sets from the
1990s to the present among other items.
Collectors of vintage baseball autographs should have a great time going through this auction, we have over
150 different lots of signed 8x10 photos and several hundred smaller size photos and postcards, with note to major
HOFers and also many rarities. There are also many terrific manageable group lots, among the best values you
will find in today’s market.

August 5-6 Auction: Signed Cards
Autographed Cards
1 1934 Batter Up 8 Jim Bottomley 8......................50
Missing the top, this is signed in flowing fountain pen.
Bottomley died in 1959, and is an extremely tough autograph to find on any type of single signed item, much less a
vintage card. JSA LOA.

Al Simmons
5....................100
Light but legible signature, this is an extremely difficult
card to find autographed. The card itself has some general wear and is VG overall but with markedly better eye
appeal. Underrated HOFer Al Simmons died in 1956, and
hardly ever appears on a signed card. JSA LOA.
5 1933 - 1938 Red Sox Signed Card
Set/3x5 Collection (35 pcs)

signed cards and 17 signed 3x5s. Condition is strong.

9 1946 Remar Bread Casey Stengel 8....................120
Not a rare card but a fun card, when was the last time you
saw a signed example? The card itself is a pleasing VG
with a nice image of Casey seated in uniform. Signed in
vintage blue ballpoint; the back shows evidence of scrapbook removal. JSA LOA.
101947-66 Exhibit
Nellie Fox
9......................75
Very popular piece, this is one of the toughest HOFers to
find autographed from this classic set. The card is clean,
this is signed neatly in blue ballpoint by the bottom border.
Solid combination of card and signature. D’75. JSA LOA.
11
1948 HOF Exhibit Fred Clarke 9.5.................125
Very good signed Exhibit card, early Pirates HOFer Fred
Clarke died in 1960. This is a pleasing VG card with a
superb blue fountain pen signature. A very popular set
among autographed card collectors, there are probably not
very many of these floating around! JSA LOA.
121948 HOF Exhibit Mickey Cochrane 8...............100
Desirable piece, one of the tougher HOFers in this fun
postcard size set. Card has tape on the the corners and
some general wear, with a pleasing blue ballpoint ink signature near the bottom border. D’62. JSA LOA.
131948 HOF Exhibit Tris Speaker 7....................150
Another very desirable signed card, it is always special to
find a HOFer of this caliber on any kind of card. Speaker
signed this in blue sharpie, a pleasing signature about 1/3
of the way up the card. The card itself is clean. Speaker
died in 1959, terrific signed period Exhibit card. JSA LOA.

18
1950Callahan Clark Griffith 9....................125
Bright card has some back damage but otherwise displays
well. Signed on the front by Griffith in blue ink, a very
solid autograph. This HOF player and future owner died
in 1955, so he did not have a huge window to sign these.

1952 Mothers Cookies 4 Chuck Connors RC

How is this for a cool and rare signed card? The key to this
classic PCL set, tough card even without a signature. The

Clean plaque, this has an especially bold and fine blue
sharpie autograph at the top border. JSA LOA.
793Ford Frick
8.5.........................60
Clean plaque, signed in blue ballpoint ink neatly at the
upper left corner. Tough piece as Frick died in 1978.
JSA LOA.
794Frankie Frisch
8............................89
Signed neatly at the top, a large and pleasing blue ballpoint ink signature. One of the keys to a signed set.
JSA LOA.
797Hank Greenberg
8.5.........................60
Clean plaque, signed at the top border in fairly bold black
sharpie. Somewhat conservatively graded, nice Greenberg
plaque overall. JSA LOA.
799Chick Hafey
9..........................150
Scarce, this is one of the absolute keys to a set. Hafey died
in 1973, after being inducted into the HOF in 1971. Signed
at the upper left corner in neat blue ink, this is admittedly
not perfect, but nonetheless it is one of the very best
condition Hafey’s one is likely to find. JSA LOA.
800Jesse Haines
9............................30
Signed at the top border in black ballpoint. JSA LOA.
801Harry Hooper
9............................75
Tougher piece as Hooper died only three years after his
induction into Cooperstown. Signed at the top in fairly
bold blue ballpoint, likely signed very near the end of his
life. JSA LOA.

blue ballpoint, one of the keys to this great set. JSA LOA.

810Joe McCarthy
9............................30

ink signature. One of the nicest examples that we have
handled. JSA LOA.
812Joe Medwick
9............................90
Solid piece, this is signed at the top in bold blue ballpoint.
One of the better Medwicks that you will find. JSA LOA.

Yellow HOF Plaques
813Satchel Paige
9.5.......................125
White-hot of late, everyone seems to need one of these.
Especially nice, this is signed in blue ballpoint ink neatly at
the upper left corner. These are usually smudged or light,
they are not so easy to find in this quality. JSA LOA.

9............................45
Signed at the top right, nice but not perfect autograph
displays well. JSA LOA.
818George Sisler (double-signed) 8.5.......................60
Signed at the top border, this has a pleasing blue ballpoint
signature from late in life. This has some mild surface
wear. JSA LOA.
819Casey Stengel (double-signed) 9.5......................60
Slightly trimmed to 3x5, this has a large and impeccable
black sharpie signature on the front at the top. The back is
signed in bold blue ballpoint Casey Stengel Hall of Famer
good luck. Neat piece. JSA LOA.
