An early attendee to sports card shows in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, Bob could often be found at shows getting the autographs of many of the legends of the game and numerous favorite players. Bob was a large supporter of many charities, often donating to players’ charities and receiving signatures in return. Bob predated the sports card boom of the 1980’s, already amassing an incredible collection before the hobby took off.
THE COLLECTION OF Dr. Robert “Bob” H. Smalley
The Memorabilia Network is proud to present a portion of The Collection of Dr. Robert H. Smalley. Numbering over 2,000 individually autographed items, Dr. Smalley’s collection is one of the most vast and comprehensive to ever be made available to the marketplace. It would be Dr. Smalley’s hope that his treasures find their way into the hands of fellow collectors and fans alike, and that they will be treasured as much as he treasured them himself.
Throughout his youth, into his college and adult years, Bob loved watching sports, particularly baseball, and was a passionate collector of sports memorabilia. He would keep his television tuned to the MLB Network in February, eagerly awaiting the start of the Major League Baseball season. Bob could often be found on summer evenings listening to the dulcet tones of Vin Scully during Dodgers broadcasts.
Born in Oil City, Pennsylvania, Bob Smalley’s family would move to Dallas, Texas, when he was a child. It was in the state of Texas that Bob developed his love of sports. During his high school years, Bob played quarterback for the 1957 State Champion Highland Park Fighting Scotties. Bob would go on to attend the University of Texas, and after graduation in 1962 was accepted into medical school at U.T. Southwestern in Dallas, where he graduated in 1967 with his medical degree.

ALI AND
In 1977, Richard Weisman commissioned Warhol for a series dedicated to sports figures. It is no surprise, then, that Warhol, with his fixation on celebrities, would include one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century, Muhammad Ali, as one of his subjects for this portrait series. Also included in the series were the likes of Pele, Jack Nicklaus, and Chris Evert. The portfolio is titled “Muhammad Ali, 1978” and was Warhol’s first ever published edition portfolio that featured a sports figure. The series was also remarkable for being one of the first artworks of Warhol’s to feature a black hero.
WARHOL
In each print in the series, Ali is dramatized by Warhol’s vibrant shades of color. Three of the images feature Ali’s face, either in profile or staring directly, in what appears to be Ali’s readiness for a fight. One image features Ali’s clenched fist, his instrument of aggression and power that lead him to so many victories in the boxing ring.
At the time this portfolio was created, Ali was the WBA heavyweight champion for the third time, and Warhol was a cultural celebrity as well. This allowed Warhol access to photograph Ali in person. Ali was a cultural icon, and he transcended the sport of boxing. With Ali’s dominance in the boxing world as well as him being known in all corners of the globe, when this portfolio debuted, each screen print sold out at the remarkable amount of $25,000 each, a hefty sum in 1978.
MUHAMMAD1 ANDY WARHOL SIGNED ALI, 1978”
The portfolio of four screen prints has been produced on Strathmore Bristol paper. The portfolio of prints was produced as an edition size of 150, with 10 Artist’s Proofs and one Printing Proof. Warhol signed each of the prints that were produced and hand numbered them. What makes this portfolio incredibly rare is that each of the four prints has been hand signed by Ali as well. Ali did not sign any of the prints as Warhol did, after they were produced. As a result, any prints Ali has signed have been signed on very rare occasions since the original release of the prints in 1978. This set is edition 139 of 150. Accompanying the portfolio are four images of Ali from when he signed the prints.

Harlan Werner, Ali’s memorabilia agent for more than 30 years, has been present each time Ali has signed a portfolio of these four prints. Per Werner, Ali has only ever signed six portfolio sets of the prints. A handful of single prints have been signed, but there are only six portfolios consisting of both Ali’s and Warhol’s signature in existence. Each one of these prints is accompanied by a Certificate of Registration from Online Authentics and a Certificate of Authenticity from The Memorabilia Network. The portfolio is also accompanied by a notarized letter from Werner stating his knowledge of only six sets being in existence and his being witness to the six sets being signed. Each of the prints is framed.

Obsessed with celebrity, consumer culture, and mechanical reproduction, Pop artist Andy Warhol (American, 1928-1987) created some of the 20th century’s most iconic images. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, advertising, and celebrity culture that flourished by the 1960s and span a variety of media, including painting, silk screening, photography, film, and sculpture. Rejecting the dominant painting and sculpting modes of his day, Warhol mainly embraced silk-screen printmaking to achieve his characteristic hard edges and flat areas of color.

TOPPS COMPLETE PSA GRADED SET OF 407

- $425,000
The 1952 Topps Baseball card set is the most popular sports card set ever produced. It surpassed its predecessors in size, quality and quantity, not to mention having the most recognizable post-war card in its set, the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card #311. The 1952 Topps Baseball card set laid the foundation for what would become the modern trading card. In addition to the large checklist, the design of the cards was stunning, with team logos, colorized black-and-white photography, and a facsimile signature of each player taken directly from the player’s signature on his contract with Topps. The backs of the cards featured a given player’s statistics as well as personal information about him. This was designed to help connect the players to the target market: children.
The 1952 Topps 1st series, cards #1 to #80, were printed with both red and black backs, which can both be commonly found. The 1952 Topps 3rd Series cards, consisting of cards #131 to #190, occasionally appear in a rare “gray back” variation in addition to the standard “cream” colored backs. The 1952 Topps high number series, cards #311 to #407, were released late and in very small numbers.
$325,000
With the set being one of the toughest to complete due to the card variations, conditions, having to acquire the Mantle card, and ever-rising costs, it is very rare to find a complete set offered, much less one that is fully graded. Offered here is a fully graded complete set of 407 1952 Topps Baseball cards. The majority of the cards are graded in the PSA 4 to 6 range, with some grading slightly lower. The Mantle card is graded 2.5, with the overall set having an average grade of 4.12. This is a phenomenal average since finding any of these cards in good condition is a tough task, much less having the opportunity to purchase a complete set fully graded.
As was common at the time, the 1952 Topps Baseball set was produced in six different series. Conscientious of costs, Topps would produce the later series cards in a much shorter quantity due to kids returning to school, the baseball season ending, and sports fans turning their attention to football. In an effort to bolster sales, it was also customary to hold back the production of some popular players until a later series; hence, the Mantle card appearing in the sixth and final production series at #311.

A right-handed glove custom designed and made by Hollywood fashion designer Bill Whitten. The glove was stage worn by Michael Jackson and attributed to being from the era of the 1980s after Jackson released his album Bad. Covering the entirety of the backside of the glove are Swarovski lochrosen crystals. The palm side of the cotton glove is bare, with the exception of a velcro closure that has been placed over the original snap button closure of the glove. The glove does show use and wear, with some dark marks on the palm side of the glove on the index finger and thumb, consistent with the pressure points where Jackson would have held his microphone when in his right hand. One of the most iconic items in music and popular culture history, Jackson's gloves became almost as famous as Jackson himself. The Bad tour was Jackson's first solo concert tour. It lasted 16 months from 1987 to 1989, and included 123 concerts for over 4 million fans across 15 countries..

In Robinson’s autobiography I Never Had It Made, Robinson discussed how sports affected his school life. “In grammar school, some of my classmates would share their lunches with me if I played on their team,” he wrote. “When I went to John Muir Technical High School … I enjoyed the competition and I was aggressive in my determination to win. Often, I found myself singled out by the other players. They decided I was the best man to beat. I enjoyed having that kind of reputation, but I was also very much aware of the importance of being a team man, not jeopardizing my team’s chances simply to get the

SCHOOLTRIPLE-SIGNEDROBINSONHIGHYEARBOOK
The Sequoian, the yearbook from John Muir Technical High School in Pasadena, California, offers a glimpse of Jackie Robinson’s high school life before he became famous. The budding athlete was following in the footsteps of his brother Mack, who earned a silver medal in the 200 meters at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games. None of his high school classmates, nor Jackie himself, could predict he would become the one to break Major League Baseball’s color barrier in the 20th century. That history occurred after Robinson’s football career and military service in which Robinson, as a Second Lieutenant in the Army, was court martialed because he wouldn’t move to the back of a military bus, even though such a rule didn’t apply to African American officers. Those tribulations and challenges, along with Robinson’s inner strength and character, led to Dodger team president Branch Rickey choosing Robinson for his “noble experiment” to integrate baseball.

JACKIE4
The formative years of Jackie Robinson’s childhood centered on his success in sports. Growing up in Pasadena, California, Robinson overcame – and at times tolerated – many of the racial hurdles and prejudices that prevailed in the city by excelling in a variety of sports. A former classmate, reflecting 75 years later on their time in elementary school together, said that tennis was Robinson’s best sport because of his lateral movement. Others had their choice of picking from the four major sports in which Robinson earned a varsity letter at both Pasadena Junior College and the University of California, Los Angeles: track, football, basketball and baseball. Offered here is this yearbook, double-signed by Robinson, from John Muir Technical High School in Pasadena. The signatures have been authenticated by PSA/DNA. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from The Memorabilia Network.

UCLA FOOTBALL TICKETS PAIR FROM JACKIE ROBINSON FIRST TD AND TWO-TD GAME WITH DISNEY ART
Each, 4 1/2 by 2 1/4 inches
$1,500 - $2,500
A pair of ticket stubs from the October 28, 1939, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Bruins versus Oregon Ducks college football game that took place at the Los Angeles Coliseum in Los Angeles, California. The game was notable for featuring, before he was better known for breaking the color barrier in professional baseball, a young Jackie Robinson at running back in his first season on the team. Robinson garnered a lot of media attention after the game, and for good reason. In the second quarter, Robinson caught a 66-yard touchdown pass (52 air yards) from left halfback Kenny Washington. This would mark Robinson’s first touchdown with the Bruins. Robinson was also one of the placekickers on the Bruins and would miss the extra point after scoring his first TD. Robinson “played both ways” as he was on the field as the equivalent of a cornerback in the third quarter when he deflected a fourth down pass from the Oregon quarterback. On the very next play, after UCLA assumed possession, Robinson would break off an 83-yard touchdown run, resulting in a two-touchdown day. At the time, Robinson’s 83-yard run was the second longest in school history. The tickets are also notable as the school mascots that appear on the front of the tickets were originally drawn by animators at The Walt Disney Co. The Oregon Ducks mascot looks suspiciously like Donald Duck. One of the tickets is in excellent condition; the other has a slight stain and a crease running down the center. Accompanied by a black and white image on paper of Robinson in his UCLA football uniform.

MUHAMMAD7
A white Everlast terrycloth robe made expressly for Muhammad Ali in the 1970s and worn by Ali while training in preparation for his third fight versus Joe Frazier, the "Thrilla in Manila," that took place on October 1, 1975, at Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City, Philippines. The robe was recently discovered, had been in storage for over 40 years and in the possession of Ali's former wife Veronica Porsche, whom Ali was married to from 1977 to 1986. The robe is in its original form, was well kept and has no alterations. The robe features an "Everlast" manufacturer's label on the left breast. "Muhammad Ali" is stitched to the back of the robe in black leather lettering. Ali would go on to win the bout by technical knockout (TKO) after Frazier's chief second, Eddie Futch, asked the referee to stop the fight after the 14th round. The bout is almost universally regarded as one of the best and most brutal fights in boxing history and was the culmination of a three-bout rivalry between the two fighters that Ali won, 2–1. The fight was watched by a record global television audience of an estimated 1 billion viewers.

KERSHAW TWICE SIGNED 2006 HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK
A copy of the 2006 yearbook from Highland Park High School in Dallas, Texas. Graduating from the school that year would be future Los Angeles Dodgers ace pitcher Clayton Kershaw. Kershaw has signed the yearbook twice, once on the cover in silver marker and again on an inside page in blue marker, both with his uniform number inscription “22.” Since his Major League Baseball career began in 2008, Kershaw has played only for the Dodgers. He is an eight-time All-Star, three-time National League Cy Young Award winner, and the 2014 National League Most Valuable Player. In 2002, Kershaw became the Dodgers’ all-time franchise leader in strikeouts. The 2006 yearbook features Kershaw’s senior class photograph, a group photograph of Kershaw with the seniors of the varsity baseball team, a photograph of him with the dedication “Clayton, I am so proud of you. You are my sunshine. Love Mom,” and a photograph of Kershaw in his high school football uniform, where the second of his two signatures appears. There are also senior photographs of Ellen Melson, Kershaw’s high school sweetheart whom he married in 2010, and of then classmate/football teammate and current Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. Each signature is accompanied by an individual Certificate of Authenticity from The Memorabilia Network.

Although deemed “a natural” at age 19 when he joined the Dodgers rotation in May 2008, it took patience for Clayton Kershaw to notch his first Major League victory. His May 25 debut was a quality start against St. Louis in which he scattered two runs in six innings and departed with a 3-2 lead. Kershaw eventually received a no-decision in L.A.’s 4-3 victory in 10 innings. His first nine starts with Los Angeles produced an 0-3 record and 5.18 ERA until Kershaw finally hit paydirt on July 27 at Dodger Stadium. The left-hander scattered four hits in six-plus scoreless innings en route to a 2-0 victory over the Washington Nationals. Relievers Chan Ho Park, Hong-Chih Kuo and Jonathan Broxton faced the minimum nine batters over the final three innings.
The victory set in motion one of the most prolific careers in the history of the Brooklyn/Los Angeles franchise. After a combined 13-13 record in 2008 and 2009, Kershaw developed into the ace of the staff. The three-time Cy Young Award winner went 21-3 during his N.L. MVP season in 2014. Kershaw authored his first career no-hitter on June 18, 2014 against the Rockies in which he became the first MLB player to strike out 15 batters with no walks in a no-hitter (he missed a perfect game because of a throwing error by shortstop Hanley Ramirez on a seventh-inning grounder). Kershaw in 2015 joined Sandy Koufax as the only pitchers in Dodger history with 300 or more strikeouts in a season. In 2020, Kershaw won a World Series ring as L.A. defeated Tampa Bay in the Fall Classic. The eight-time All-Star entered the 2022 season with the lowest ERA (2.43) and WHIP (1.00) of any Major League pitcher in the “modern era” since 1920 (minimum 1,500 innings). On April 30, 2022, Kershaw broke Don Sutton’s record for most career strikeouts by a Dodger pitcher with No. 2,697 at home against the Detroit Tigers.

Left-hander Clayton Kershaw recorded his 99th career victory, all with the Los Angeles Dodgers, on April 17, 2015, against the Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California. Kershaw struck out 12 batters and allowed just one earned run in six innings for a 7-3 victory. It was the first victory of the season for Kershaw, who continued his role as the Dodgers’ staff ace. In 2015, the Dodgers won their third consecutive National League West title under then manager Don Mattingly with a 92–70 record; Kershaw went 16–7 on the season with a 2.13 ERA and 301 strikeouts, joining Sandy Koufax as the only Dodger pitchers to surpass 300 Ks in one season. Offered here is the size 50 jersey that was custom made for Kershaw and was worn by him during his 99th win game. The Majestic brand white Cool Base Dodgers home jersey features the Dodgers script logo stitched into the front of the jersey in Dodger blue, above Kershaw’s number “22’ in red tackle twill numbering. Kershaw’s number repeats on the back of the jersey underneath “KERSHAW” in arched block tackle twill lettering. Stitched into the left sleeve is a Dodgers “LA” team logo. Affixed to the front left tail of the jersey is a Majestic Authentic Collection tag, with a second Majestic tag below featuring a QR code and “22 KERSHAW 50 2015.” Kershaw has signed the back left number “2” on the jersey, adding the inscription “99th Win” in silver marker. Affixed to the right number “2” on the back of the jersey is an MLB Authentics hologram. There are dirt stains present on the back of the jersey.

YOUNG SIGNED BASEBALL
The award bearing his name began in 1956 and represents the ultimate line for any pitcher’s career resume. But good luck to any modern-day “phenom” hoping to break the bar set by Denton True “Cy” Young between 1890 and 1911. Young’s minor league tryout produced the nickname “Cyclone,” later shortened to “Cy.” During Young’s tenure with the Cleveland Spiders (1890-98), catcher Chief Zimmer often put a piece of beefsteak in his catcher’s mitt to help protect his hand from the force of Young’s velocity.
Young compiled the “Triple Crown” for pitchers with the Boston Red Sox/Americans in 1901 with 33 wins, a 1.62 ERA and 158 strikeouts. Young was also part of the first World Series winner in history when Boston defeated Pittsburgh in the first Fall Classic. Young started the first game against the visiting Pirates, so it was appropriate the first pitch in World Series history would be thrown by its winningest pitcher.
CY11
Young threw three career no-hitters, including a perfect game in 1904. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1937. When he passed away at age 88 in 1955, Major League Baseball established an award in his memory to honor the season’s top pitcher. After the Dodgers’ Sandy Koufax won the award three times between 1963 and 1966, MLB decided to present the award to a pitcher in both the National and American Leagues.

the 1961 season with 288 career victories. It had been nearly 20 years since MLB’s last 300-game winner, Lefty Grove of the Boston Red Sox on July 25, 1941. The only other modern-day pitchers to reach 300 wins in the 20th century were Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, Grover Cleveland Alexander and Eddie Plank.
During the clubhouse celebration, Spahn sent champagne to the press lounge for the media members. Second-year umpire Ed Vargo asked Spahn to sign a baseball from the game. Spahn signed the Spaulding brand Official National League Baseball (Giles) on a side panel: “To Ed Vargo / good job / best wishes / no 300 /8/11/61/ Warren Spahn.” The ball is accompanied by a letter from Vargo, a certificate of authenticity from Sports Investments Inc., a letter of authenticity from PSA, a Certificate of Authenticity from The Memorabilia Network and a print of a black and white photograph signed by Spahn in blue marker.
SPAHN 300TH WIN GAME
The Memorabilia Network | 25
historians estimate Spahn lost 30 or 40 wins because of his service time, the pitcher credited the military for keeping baseball in perspective. “After what I went through overseas, I never thought anything I was told to do in baseball was hard work,” Spahn told Sport Magazine. “You get over feeling that when you spend days on end sleeping in frozen tank tracks in enemy-threatened territory. The Army taught me what’s important and what isn’t.”
When Spahn won his 299th game on August 4 at San Francisco – a 2-1 decision over the Giants at Candlestick Park – fans clamored for tickets to his next start on August 11 at home against the Chicago Cubs. Spahn didn’t want to prolong the drama. “I realize everyone is pulling for me, and I know I’m going to get it sometime,” he said. “Sure, it’s a big night for me and all the guys on our club are anxious for me to get it, but I’ll be awfully glad when it’s over.”
The Braves moved to Milwaukee in 1953 and were an instant hit at the County Stadium box office. Spahn and teammate Lew Burdette combined to win 38 games in 1957 when Milwaukee defeated the Yankees in a seven-game World Series classic. As perennial contenders with a lineup that included sluggers Hank Aaron and Eddie Mathews, the Braves repeated as National League champions in 1958 and lost a best-of-three playoff in 1959 against the
In 1948, Spahn helped the Boston Braves capture their first National League pennant since 1914 by combining with teammate Johnny Sain to win 39 of the team’s 91 victories. Because the balance of the rotation was considered average, a famous battle cry emerged from the Boston fans: Spahn and Sain, and pray for rain!”
$5,000 - $7,000
The game was a tight battle between the veteran Spahn and rookie lefty Jack Curtis. The Braves opened the scoring with an unearned run in the fifth. Joe Torre’s line drive to left field was dropped by rookie Billy Williams for a two-base error. Torre advanced to third on Roy McMillan’s single and he scored on Spahn’s sacrifice fly. The Cubs tied the game in the sixth on three singles.
The Braves took a 2-1 lead when Gino Cimoli belted his third home run of the season. Cimoli also saved Spahn in the ninth with a sliding catch on his knees in center field on a one-out drive by Jerry Kindall. The Cubs had one last chance after pinch-hitter Ernie Banks reached base on a throwing error by Mathews at third. Spahn ended the game by retiring pinch-hitter Jim McAnany on a flyout to Aaron in right. A jubilant Spahn jogged toward Aaron and the pair met between first and second base as the rest of the Braves gathered to celebrate and Spahn soon jogged into the Milwaukee dugout.
At age 40 in 1961, Warren Spahn’s quest for 300 victories didn’t represent the last frontier for the future Hall of Fame pitcher. Spahn’s milestone became an opportunity to celebrate his place in Braves history, both in Boston and Milwaukee. On his way to becoming Major League Baseball’s most prolific left-hander with 363 career victories, Spahn posted 13 seasons with 20 or more victories in a 21-year career that was interrupted by three years of military service.
With the backdrop of World War II during his rookie season, Spahn enlisted in the Army in October 1942. He soon became a Sergeant and his 9th Armored Division was charged with repairing roads and bridges in France. He fought in the Battle of the Bulge and eventually became the most decorated ballplayer with a Bronze Star, Purple Heart, battlefield promotion and a Presidential

The date of October 1, 1961, will go down in baseball history, as that was the day when Rogers Maris hit his 61st home run of the season, surpassing the great Babe Ruth’s mark of 60 to become the record holder for most home runs hit by a player in a single Major League Baseball season. During his second at-bat of the day, on a 2-0 count, Boston’s Tracy Stallard threw a waist-high fastball and Maris swung. With a loud crack of the bat and a blast to right field, Maris would watch the ball sail over the fence for this 61st home run of the season. What many thought to be an unbreakable record had been broken.

KOUFAX SIGNED AND MLB DEBUT INSCRIBED 1955 TOPPS ROOKIE CARD PSA 4.5
5 1/2 by 3 1/4 inches, overall
SANDY15
The 1955 season was the beginning of what would be a historic 12-year run for Sandy Koufax with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Almost as iconic as the man himself is his 1955 Topps rookie card. The bright yellow background and images of a young Koufax in his Brooklyn Dodgers gear establish this card as one of the most memorable in history. Koufax has signed the card in blue marker, adding the inscription “MLB Debut 6/24/55.” One of the rarest signed Koufax rookie cards in existence. The card has been encapsulated by PSA and graded “VG-EX+ 4.5” and “Auto 10.”

The team’s move to the West Coast in 1958 gave Koufax a fresh start at the cavernous Los Angeles Coliseum. A makeshift baseball field – which included distances of 240 feet to left field and 440 feet to the right-field power alleys – was constructed while the Dodgers built their new ballpark at Chavez Ravine. The 1958 Dodgers finished in seventh place with a 71-83 record. The slip in the standings, along with the June 15 trade of veteran Don Newcombe to Cincinnati, gave Koufax more opportunities to Onpitch.May
Koufax’s performance was a microcosm of his early-career inconsistencies. In the first inning, the Braves scored three runs on just one hit, along with two walks, two errors, a wild pitch and sacrifice fly. During the final 10 innings, Koufax permitted just one hit. Overall, he struck out six batters and walked four, which included a pair of intentional walks to Hank Aaron.
The ticket to Koufax’s first Los Angeles victory is signed by the Hall of Famer in a black marker. The stub has been encapsulated by PSA and graded “VG-EX 4” and “Auto 10.” With a population of one, this is the only Koufax signed first Los Angeles Dodgers win ticket stub that PSA has ever graded, making it a true one-of-one.
Things would gradually improve for Koufax and the Dodgers. L.A. won the World Series in 1959 and Koufax became the dominant pitcher of his generation. After a 9-10 record in Brooklyn, his Los Angeles regular-season ledger was 156-77, including 27 wins in his final season in 1966.

When Sandy Koufax signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1954, his bonus contract necessitated he be placed on the Major League roster. Without any minor league experience, Koufax learned “on the job” at age 19 while playing sporadically on a pennant contender. Between 1955 and 1956, Koufax appeared in only 28 games and 100 innings, posting a modest 4-6 record.

Sandy is dandy in the new ballpark! The timetable to build Dodger Stadium between 1958 and 1962 mirrored the construction project of pitcher Sandy Koufax, who transformed from a hard-throwing pitching prospect learning at the Major League level into one of the all-time greats of the sport. In 86 regular-season games (85 starts) at Dodger Stadium, Koufax posted a 57-15 record with a 1.37 ERA. He struck out 754 batters in 715 1/3 innings. He pitched 56 complete games, 23 shutouts and added a save in his lone relief appearance in 1964 with three scoreless innings against the Phillies. Koufax also pitched three of his career no-hitters at Dodger Stadium, including the only perfect game in the history of the franchise on September 9, 1965 against the Cubs.

A statue of Koufax was unveiled at Dodger Stadium in 2022, which also marked the 50th anniversary of his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Nobody realized the significance at the time, but it was appropriate Koufax would register the first victory by a Los Angeles pitcher in the history of Dodger Stadium.
KOUFAX PSA GRADED
After the Cincinnati Reds defeated Johnny Podres – the Brooklyn Dodgers’ 1955 World Series hero - on Opening Day 1962, Koufax was slated to pitch the first night game on April 11. He struck out seven batters in a 6-2 victory over the defending National League champions. Koufax carried a one-hit shutout into the ninth inning. The Dodgers had staked him to a 5-0 lead in the fourth inning against Reds starter Moe Drabowsky. In the third inning, Jim Gilliam became the first Dodger to hit a home run at Chavez Ravine. The Reds opened the ninth with consecutive hits by Vada Pinson, Frank Robinson and Wally Post. But Koufax settled down for the complete game.
Offered here is a ticket stub from the April 11, 1962 game signed by Sandy Koufax in blue ink. The ticket stub has been encapsulated and graded by PSA as a “VG 3” with an “Auto 10.” With a population of one, this is the only Koufax signed first Dodger Stadium win ticket stub that PSA has ever graded, making it a true
On May 11, the Koufax flirted with perfection during his second career no-hitter against the Giants and pitcher Juan Marichal in front of 49,807 at Dodger Stadium. Koufax retired the first 22 hitters of the game until Ed Bailey’s one-out walk in the eighth. Koufax, who made 111 pitches, later issued a walk to pinch-hitter Willie McCovey with two out in the ninth. Harvey Kuenn grounded out to Koufax to end the game.

When comparing his second no-hitter with the first against the Mets, Koufax thought he didn’t have his overpowering fastball working as well, so he relied on the breaking ball. Koufax struck out four batters and received help on defense. In the seventh inning, Kuenn lined out to Frank Howard in right field. Felipe Alou, the league’s leading hitter, hit a drive to left field. Tommy Davis raced back and caught the ball two feet in front of the stands as center fielder Willie Davis yelled, “Plenty of room! Plenty of room!” Orlando Cepeda opened the eighth with a line drive that deflected off Koufax’s glove to second baseman Nate Oliver, whose throw to first beat Cepeda by a step.

Koufax has signed this second career no-hitter stub in blue ink and the stub has been encapsulated by PSA and has been graded as “Authentic.” With a population of two, this is one of only two signed stubs that have PSA have ever graded.
Koufax joined Milwaukee’s Warren Spahn as the only active Major Leaguers with two career no-hitters. He also joined Brooklyn’s Carl Erskine as the only Dodger pitcher to throw two no-hitters. It was the third no-hitter in the brief history of Dodger Stadium, two by Koufax and one by the L.A. Angels’ Bo Belinsky against Baltimore on 5/5/62 (the American League Angels called Chavez Ravine home from 1962 to 1965).
Koufax no-hit lightning strikes twice! There was guarded optimism in the Los Angeles Dodgers spring training camp in 1963. Coming off a blown pennant race against the rival San Francisco Giants – squandering a 4-2 ninth-inning lead in the deciding third playoff game at Dodger Stadium – the Los Angeles roster looked formidable with reigning league MVP Maury Wills, Cy Young Award winner Don Drysdale and batting champion Tommy Davis.

But any preseason prediction was qualified by a wild card – pitcher Sandy Koufax, whose 1962 season was curtailed in the second half by Renaud Phenomenon, which affected the blood circulation in his left index finger. Unable to control his curveball, Koufax was limited to 9 2/3 innings after July 17. That halted a strong start in which Koufax began 1962 with a 14-4 record, including his first career no-hitter on June 30 against the expansion New York
the 1963 season, team president Walter O’Malley expressed optimism about Koufax’s recovery, but admitted, “we’ve got a lot of eggs in that basket.” Koufax responded with a spectacular season which produced both Cy Young Award (in an era before one was awarded for each league) and National League MVP honors. Koufax went 25-5 with a 1.88 ERA, 11 shutouts, 20 complete games and 306 strikeouts in 311 innings.

The Dodgers jumped on lefty Whitey Ford for five runs in five innings, including Roseboro’s two-run homer during a four-run second inning. Koufax struck out at least batter in every inning except the sixth. When he fanned Phil Linz to open the eighth, it tied the single-game World Series strikeout record of 14 by Carl Erskine of the 1953 Dodgers. Erskine was in attendance that afternoon and would later congratulate his former teammate in the clubhouse.
The Dodgers moved to the West Coast in 1958, but several familiar faces from the Brooklyn days returned in 1963 when the Los Angeles Dodgers faced the Yankees in the World Series. Sandy Koufax, who blossomed from a seldom-used bonus baby in 1955 to MLB’s lone Cy Young Award winner in 1963set the tone for what would be a four-game sweep of the Bronx Bombers in Game 1 during a 5-2 victory at Yankee Stadium. Koufax set a record by striking out the first five batters of the game – Tony Kubek, Bobby Richardson, Tom Tresh, Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris. The streak ended when Elston Howard managed a popup to catcher John Roseboro.
During their days in New York, the Brooklyn Dodgers faced the New York Yankees seven times in the World Series between 1941 and 1956. Fans in Flatbush were used to declaring “Wait ‘til next year!” after watching their beloved Bums lose the first five meetings. Brooklyn finally broke though in 1955 with a dramatic 2-0 victory in Game 7 at Yankee Stadium. But the party lasted only one year as the Yankees regained their title in seven games, highlighted by Don Larsen’s perfect game in the pivotal Game 5.
Koufax’s record-setting 15th strikeout of pinch-hitter Harry Bright to end the game sent the crowd of 69,000 into a frenzy, prompting the reserve to lament, “I waited 17 years to bat in a World Series. And when it finally happened, everyone was rooting for me to strike out!”
Koufax, who beat the Yankees and Ford, 2-1, in Game 4 at Dodger Stadium, was named World Series MVP. Koufax has signed the Game 1 ticket stub in blue marker. The stub has been encapsulated by PSA and has been graded as “Authentic” and “Auto 10.” With a population of five, this is one of only five signed ticket stubs of its kind ever graded by PSA.

It remains the only time in their history the Dodgers clinched a championship on their home field. The other six World Series titles occurred at Yankee Stadium (1955 and 1981), Chicago’s Comiskey Field (1959), Minnesota’s Metropolitan Stadium (1965), the Oakland Alameda Coliseum (1988) and neutralsite Globe Life Field in Texas (2020). It also marked the first time the Yankees were swept in a Fall Classic.
Koufax set a single-game record with 15 strikeouts in the opener at Yankee Stadium, won by the Dodgers 5-2. Podres and Perranoski combined to beat New York, 4-1, in the second game. When the series moved to the West Coast, Drysdale delivered the signature game of his career, a 1-0 thriller over righthander Jim Bouton. Koufax shut the door with a 2-1 victory in Game 4, another victory over Yankees’ ace Whitey Ford, who allowed just two hits in seven innings. One of L.A.’s hits was a monstrous home run by Frank Howard – the first in stadium history to land on the Loge Level.

How dominant was the pitching of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 1963 World Series against the New York Yankees? The team needed only three starting pitchers - Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale and Johnny Podres - and a cameo by reliever Ron Perranoski, who faced just three batters.
Koufax won 1963 Series MVP honors with a 2-0 record and 1.50 ERA, which included 23 strikeouts in 18 innings. He would later lead Los Angeles to another title in 1965 with a World Series MVP performance against the Minnesota Twins.

MONTANA, DWIGHT CLARK, JOHN TAYLOR AND VIN SCULLY SIGNED
“THE CATCH” AND “THE DRIVE” PLAY DIAGRAMMED SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
FULL-SIZE HELMET 1 OF 1
The 1981 NFC Championship game between the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers, held on January 10, 1982, at Candlestick Park in San Francisco, California, would produce one of the most memorable events in National Football League history known simply as “The Catch.” With 58 seconds left in the game and the 49ers facing 3rd-and-3, San Francisco wide receiver Dwight Clark made a leaping grab in the back of the end zone to complete a 6-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Joe Montana, enabling the 49ers to defeat the Cowboys, 28–27. “The Catch” came at the end of a 14-play, 83-yard drive engineered by Montana. Montana would then work his magic again in Super Bowl XXIII. Trailing the Cincinnati Bengals 16-13 with just over three minutes to play, Montana would march the 49ers 92 yards downfield and with 34 seconds to go in the game, Montana would find receiver John Taylor in the end zone for the game-winning touchdown pass. This 49ers full-size helmet commemorates both occasions. The helmet has been signed by Dwight Clark, who has drawn a diagram of the play that led to “The Catch” on the top of the helmet. Clark has also inscribed the helmet “The Catch / 1.10.82.” Joe Montana has also signed the helmet, adding a diagram of the play that led to his winning touchdown pass in Super Bowl XXIII, the culmination of “The Drive.” John Taylor has signed the helmet, adding his uniform number “82” and has inscribed the helmet “ ‘The Drive’ / S.B. XXIII G.W. Catch.” The helmet has been additionally signed by legendary sportscaster Vin Scully, who was the playby-play announcer for the national television broadcast and who called the play for “The Catch.” This is the first football helmet Scully has ever signed, making this a true 1 of 1 item. Affixed to the back of the helmet is a Steiner hologram. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from The Memorabilia Network.

The cover of the issue features legendary golfer Ben Hogan teeing off on a hole at The Masters tournament at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. Hogan’s nine career professional major championships tie him with Gary Player for fourth all time, trailing only Jack Nicklaus (18), Tiger Woods (15) and Walter Hagen (11). He is one of only five players to have won all four majors: The Masters Tournament, The Open Championship (despite playing only once), the U.S. Open, and the PGA Championship. The other four are Nicklaus, Woods, Player, and Gene Sarazen. Hogan’s first major win came at age 34. After winning The Masters in 1951 and 1953, Hogan finished as runner-up in the 1955 tournament, seven strokes behind winner Cary Middlecoff. Hogan has signed the cover of the magazine in black marker. Accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity from JSA and a Certificate of Authenticity from The Memorabilia Network.

A “Citation of Achievement” certificate presented in 1970 to American music publishing companies Maclean Music Inc. and ATV-Kirshner Music Corp. by Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI) for the number of broadcast performances of the Beatles song “Yesterday.” The song was released in the United States in September 1965 and was still being played on radio stations in the US in 1970, leading to this citation being issued. Music publishing is the business of promotion and monetization of musical compositions. BMI is an American performing rights organization that represents songwriters, composers and music publishers. So, while Maclean and ATVKirshner represented and marketed the musical artists’ composition, BMI represented Maclean and ATV-Kirshner. The certificate has been signed by then BMI President Edward Cramer and then Vice President Theodora Zavin.

A limited edition digital and 15 color screenprint on Somerset Velvet Enhanced paper taken from original artwork from Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood. The piece, titled “Conversation Piece,” was released in 2005 and features Wood and his Rolling Stones bandmates Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts in the recording studio. A description of the piece from Ronnie Wood’s website states, “Here Ronnie catches a moment in time in the recording environment. The interplay between band members shows intensity, concentration but also a calmness. Charlie particularly, in the background yet central to the piece appears to be keeping the whole band in check, indeed holding his group together.” The print was originally released in an edition of 290, with 30 Artist Proofs, 15 Publisher Proofs, 2 Printer Proofs, and 10 HC Proofs. This edition is numbered “HC 1/10.” HC stands for “hors commerce,” which means “not to sell.” Similar to an Artist Proof, HC Proofs are set aside from the editioned prints. Typically, of all of the editioned prints, the HCs are the most valuable. The print has been signed by Wood in the bottom right, with edition number at center and “Conversation Piece” at bottom left.

MUHAMMAD44 ALI (AKA CASSIUS CLAY) SIGNED 1960 OLYMPIC TORCH DISPLAY WITH ORIGINAL TICKETS
A 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympic Games torch signed on the handle “Muhammad Ali 1996” in black marker. Ali had the honor of being the last member of the 1996 Olympic Torch Relay, thus lighting the Olympic Flame at the Opening Ceremonies of the 1996 Summer Olympics, marking the official opening of the Games. The 1996 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremonies took place at Centennial Olympic Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, on July 19, 1996.
The torch itself features 22 aluminum “reeds,” one for each Olympic Games up to 1996. Additionally, it features two gold-plated brass rings, the first displaying the inscription “Atlanta 1996” with the Atlanta Games emblem and the second featuring the names of the host cities of the Olympic Games of the modern era. The torch, at the time, was the tallest ever for a summer Olympic Games and the only one designed to be grasped in the middle of the torch as opposed to closer to the bottom, where most Olympic torches are traditionally held. The handle is made of Georgia pecan wood, which is fitting given that the games were held in the state of Georgia. Accompanied by a certificate of registration from Online Authentics and a Certificate of Authenticity from The Memorabilia Network.

ALI SIGNED FLIP SCHULKE POOL IMAGE
MUHAMMAD46
A print of a black and white image, an original photograph taken of a young Muhammad Ali by photographer Flip Schulke (American, 1930-2008). The image, originally shot in a swimming pool in Miami, Florida, in 1961, is of a 19-year-old Ali, known as Cassius Clay at the time. When Schulke and Ali first met, the boxer explained how a previous trainer encouraged him to train underwater, as the resistance acts like a weight. This led to Schulke taking his famous image of Ali in his boxing stance underwater. This image was taken by Schulke during that photo shoot. Printed on thick paper stock, Ali has signed this image in blue ink. Also included is a print of the famous black and white photograph of Ali’s underwater pose. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from The Memorabilia Network.
Jumping rope was a staple of Muhammad Ali’s training routine. In addition to being known as “The Greatest,” Ali was also one of the most prolific rope jumpers in sports history. It figures, as jumping rope is an iconic boxing drill for good reason. It combines cardio, coordination, dexterity, and footwork all in one exercise. Having rope jumping as a major part of his training allowed Ali to outlast so many of his opponents due to his superior cardiovascular endurance.

On February 18, 1978, a few days after losing his title fight versus Leon Spinks, Muhammad Ali traveled to Bangladesh for a five-day trip. Bangladesh was a relatively new country. Formerly known as East Pakistan, the region seceded from Pakistan during the third war between Indian and Pakistan, and thus Bangladesh was founded on March 26, 1971. Two of Ali’s fights were some of the earliest transmissions that were broadcast in the new country, thus making him one of the first foreign celebrities to gain wide recognition in the new republic. As a result, the government of Bangladesh invited Ali to visit the country, as is shown in Reginald Massey’s documentary about the trip “Muhammad Ali Goes East: Bangladesh, I Love You,” in which members of the Bangladesh government state, “After much thought we decided the best person to project Bangladesh would be the black Muslim boxer Muhammad Ali, who was universally loved and respected.” Ali was greeted by more than 2 million people when he arrived in the country. After a few days spent in the country, Ali was granted citizenship to Bangladesh and was presented this passport, making him the country’s newest citizen. In the documentary, Ali states, “So I am a citizen of Bangladesh?” to which officials assure him that he is “one of us now.” Ali replies, “Thank you so much. Now, if they kick me out of America, I have another home.” The passport was issued at Dacca (now known as Dhaka), the capital and largest city of Bangladesh, on February 21, 1978, with the passport being valid for travel to “All Countries of the World” for a 10-year period. Affixed to the interior of the passport is a small black and white photograph of Ali with his signature below. The passport is accompanied by a print of a photograph originally taken by Howard Bingham during the presentation of the passport as well as by a Letter of Authenticity from JSA and a Certificate of Authenticity from The Memorabilia Network for the $20,000

A copy of the book The Best of Leifer (New York: Abbeville Press, 2001). The book chronicles the life of photographer Neil Leifer. Since 1960, Leifer has traveled the world capturing images of iconic athletes and celebrities, political events and global celebrations. His work has appeared in Sports Illustrated, Time, Life and Newsweek magazines, to name a few. Among his best-known images are a triumphant Muhammad Ali defeating Sonny Liston, thought to be one of the best sports pictures of all time. Ali, a frequent subject, was photographed by Leifer numerous times. Many of those images appear in this book. Staggeringly, Ali has signed this book 17 times, once on the cover and 16 times on interior pages. Unfortunately, given the gloss on the cover of the book’s dust jacket and the passage of time, the signature on the front cover has faded slightly and smudged. However, all of the other signatures on the book’s interior are in fantastic condition. Leifer originally gifted this book to Ali’s longtime personal assistant, Kim Vidt. As a result, Leifer has signed and inscribed the book “For Kim, Who Just Like Her Boss Is Truly ‘The Greatest’! / Please Enjoy / With My Best Wishes And Thanks For All You’ve Done To Make My Job So Easy! / Love Neil Leifer / 12-13-01.” Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from The Memorabilia Network.

More than four decades later, the final epic struggle between two boxing legends is still remembered. More than a championship boxing match, the “Thrilla in Manila” between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier was a monumental clash of wills, a last battle between bitter rivals, the final and indisputable proof of a champion’s greatness and often referred to as the most brutal heavyweight boxing match in history. The fight took place on October 1, 1975, at Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City, Philippines. Ali often created drawings and various works of art, including this sketch of that fabled evening, depicting a large crowd surrounding a boxing ring with one figure in the boxing ring named “Ali” and the other “Frazier.” This limited edition canvas print, taken from Ali’s original work, has been signed by Ali in gold marker and has been numbered “2/2.” Accompanied by a Certificiate of Authenticity from The Memorabilia Network.

This cut signature of Charles Ebbets has been encapsulated and PSA/DNA Certified “Authentic Auto,” along with a 1908 team photo from the Pictorial News Co. and cut from a publication. The 1908 Brooklyn “Superbas” finished in seventh place with a 53-101 record under manager Patsy Donovan. The team recorded the second-lowest team batting average (.213) of the modern era, besting only the 1910 Chicago White Sox (.211). No player hit over .250 as first baseman Tim Jordan led the way at .247. Ebbets stayed the course after the disappointing 1908 season. Eight years later, a stadium bearing his name hosted the team’s first World Series appearance against Babe Ruth and the Boston Red Sox.
$1,200 - $1,600
The amazing baseball journey of Charles Ebbets began at age 23 in 1883 when he met the organizers of a new “Brooklyn Baseball Association.” Joseph Doyle and Ferdinand Abell were also his brother’s friends. Ebbets took a job with the ballclub and did everything from selling tickets and peanuts to printing the scorecards. His other interest during this period included ten-pin bowling, building design and and architecture.
“Ebbets Field” would become the home of the Brooklyn team from 1913 to 1957 and was the site of Jackie Robinson’s historic debut against the Boston Braves on April 15, 1947. Ebbets (1859-1925) didn’t live to see the “Boys of Summer” era, but his impact on the Brooklyn neighborhood will never be forgotten. He also introduced numerous concepts to the game, including Ladies Day, separate batting and fielding practices for each team, along with separate locker rooms with showers so visiting players wouldn’t have to show up in their uniforms from the hotel.
82 | thememorabilianetwork.com
When Ebbets decided the team needed a new ballpark location to replace Washington Park, he began individual lots in the “Pigtown” section of Flatbush. He acquired 5 ½ acres by 1911 and one year later sold half his holdings in the baseball team to raise the $750,000 needed to build a new stadium.
CHARLES87
When Brooklyn transferred from the American Association to the National League in 1890, Ebbets began to focus on baseball and he purchased stock in the franchise at every opportunity. Within the decade, he was the majority shareholder. He was elected team president in 1898 after the death of then president Charles H. Byrne.

Suddenly, blood was everywhere after the impact on his glove and he couldn’t see out of one eye. At least that’s what Robinson assumed as he screamed for help. Robinson realized he wasn’t dying when his players were laughing, and he tasted the liquid around his face. Presumably, at the suggestion of Brooklyn outfielder Casey Stengel, Law had substituted a grapefruit for a baseball.
On March 13, 1915, Robinson planned to catch a baseball dropped from an airplane flown by famed aviator Ruth Law. The stunt would take place at the Daytona Beach, Florida training camp. The Brooklyn players watched with anticipation as Robinson stood on the field with his catcher’s mitt. The airplane flew overhead; Robinson readied himself as the round object started its descent.
After coaching the New York Giants under manager John McGraw from 1903 to 1913, Robinson took over the reins at Brooklyn. The franchise had many nicknames since joining the National League in 1890, including Bridegrooms, Superbas and Dodgers. During Robinson’s tenure between 1914 and 1931, the team was primarily known as the “Robins” in honor of their manager. Robinson managed for 18 seasons and his 1,375 victories were the third-most in National League history behind McGraw (2,652) and Fred Clarke (1,602). He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1945.

Long before Casey Stengel, Leo Durocher and Tommy Lasorda, Wilbert Robinson was the first “colorful” manager in the history of the Dodgers franchise while leading his teams to World Series appearances in 1916 and
This comedic episode led to the popular legend how spring training in Florida became known as the “Grapefruit League.” From that point on, Robinson referred to airplanes as “fruit flies.”

Despite these accomplishments during the regular season and World Series, Robinson will forever be remembered for a spring training challenge involving an airplane and the greatest catch never made.
SIGNATURE DISPLAY
Robinson displayed his durability in 1896 by catching five games in a twoday span – a tripleheader followed by a doubleheader. At the plate, Robinson set a record on June 10, 1892 with seven hits and 11 RBI.

his playing career, Robinson caught 1,316 games and was the star catcher of an Orioles dynasty that won three consecutive titles between 1894 and 1896. He was the first catcher to stand directly hitter instead of a few steps back with less than two strikes.
Robinson heard the story of Gabby Street, who in 1908 caught a baseball dropped from a window near the top of the Washington Monument. At age 53, the former catcher thought he could top Street’s feat by catching a baseball dropped from an airplane being flown 525 feet off the ground.
Framed together in the shadow box are a cut signature of Robinson’s, an original press photograph from “Underwood & Underwood. N.Y.”, some original newspaper clippings from the 1916 National League champions, and a Perez Steele series Baseball Hall of Fame Robinson postcard.

Ebbets Field was the home of the Brooklyn Dodgers between 1913 and 1957. Throughout the ballpark’s history, VIP passes were issued by the club to selected season ticket customers. This 1914 pass (numbered 83) allowed the holder to sit in the “lower Tier Box 51” and watch manager Wilbert Robinson’s fifth-place team. Named after their manager, the “Robins” posted a 75-79 record with a roster that included first baseman Jake Daubert, the reigning N.L. MVP who won his second consecutive National League batting title (.329). The outfield included future Hall of Famers Zack Wheat and Casey Stengel while 23-game winner Jeff Pfeffer anchored the rotation.

FERNANDO VALENZUELA AND MIKE SCIOSCIA SIGNED 1981 LOS ANGELES DODGERS OPENING DAY TICKET PSA 10
MAGAZINES GROUP OF SEVEN
The date was April 9, 1981, and while many Dodgers fans were going into the 1981 season with high hopes, little did they know that on this Opening Day they would be witness to the start of “Fernandomania.” Fernando Valenzuela, a then 20-year-old native of Mexico, would take the mound for the Dodgers in his first career Major League start. Valenzuela had thrown 17.2 scoreless innings over 10 relief appearances with the Dodgers in 1980, but he remained relatively unknown going into the 1981 season. That would all change as Valenzuela would throw a complete game shutout. After adding another seven complete games in his next seven starts, Valenzuela would finish the season 13–7 with a 2.48 ERA, 11 complete games and eight shoutouts. He led all pitchers with 180 strikeouts that season. Valenzuela was named the 1981 National League Rookie of the Year and NL Cy Young Award winner in addition to helping the Dodgers win the 1981 World Series. Offered here is a ticket from the Dodgers 1981 Opening Day game signed by Valenzuela and his battery mate that day, Mike Scioscia. Both signatures are in blue marker. The ticket has been slabbed by PSA and given an autograph grade of “Gem Mint 10.”

Sandy Koufax the basketball player? After a Hall of Fame career during which Koufax become one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history, it would be easy for one to forget that Koufax’s first love was basketball; as he was growing up, he actually preferred playing basketball over baseball. Koufax starred on the University of Cincinnati basketball team, earning a partial scholarship. Eventually his baseball skills were discovered, which lead him to signing with the Brooklyn Dodgers and leaving his basketball aspirations behind. Featured here is a Playboy brand Official Collegiate basketball signed by Koufax in black marker. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from The Memorabilia Network.

A framed print of a color photograph capturing the moment that Hank Aaron hit the 715th home run of his career on April 8, 1974. In hitting the home run, Aaron would pass Babe Ruth’s 714 career home run mark, thus becoming the then career leader in home runs. As though it were fate, calling the game, and thus calling the historic moment, was legendary broadcaster Vin Scully. The Los Angeles Dodgers were playing Aaron’s Atlanta Braves that night. Aaron had stated that he had received death threats, warning he would be hurt or killed if he broke Ruth’s record. Scully, no doubt aware of that situation, made clear just how huge a moment it was, not only for baseball but also for history. Scully would say on the broadcast, “A Black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an alltime baseball idol. What a marvelous moment for baseball. What a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia. What a marvelous moment for the country and the world.” Aaron has signed the photograph in blue marker, and Scully has signed the photograph in silver marker. The photograph is framed together with a plaque detailing the accomplishment and Scully’s presence. Affixed to the photograph are a Steiner hologram and Online Authentics sticker #OA-8315119. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from The Memorabilia Network.
The incredible longevity of Vin Scully’s 67-year broadcasting career is reflected by timing of his Hall of Fame induction in 1982. Honored during his 32nd season with the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers, Scully called play-by-play for another 35 seasons before finally retiring in 2016.
The Ford C. Frick Award is presented annually to a broadcaster “for major contributions to baseball.” Scully became the sixth recipient, following Red Barber/Mel Allen (1978), Bob Elson (1979), Russ Hodges (1980) and Ernie Harwell (1981). It was the departure of Harwell from the Dodgers to the New York Giants after the 1949 season that opened the door for a Fordham University graduate to become Brooklyn’s No. 3 announcer behind Barber and Connie Desmond.

Upon his induction into the Hall of Fame, Scully received this presentation bat from the Hall of Fame. The plaque on the Louisville Slugger model reads “Brooklyn Dodgers/Vin Scully/Los Angeles Dodgers” stamped on the barrel of the bat. The bat is mounted on a wooden plaque base. The inscription on the second metal plaque reads “In Appreciation/ to / Vin Scully / For His Contribution to Baseball / As One of It’s / All Time Great Broadcasters.” The plaque is housed in a Lucite box and was displayed prominently displayed in Scully’s home for a number of years after it was presented to him.
Scully’s first trip to Cooperstown occurred on July 23, 1951 when the manager Charlie Dressen’s Dodgers faced Jimmy Dykes and the Philadelphia Athletics in the annual Hall of Fame game. The 1951 Hall of Fame inductees were both early members of the 500 Home Run Club – Jimmy Foxx and Mel Ott, who was Scully’s favorite player as a kid in New York rooting for the Giants.

On April 4, 2014, the Los Angeles Dodgers played their first home game of the season. The Dodgers marked the occasion by celebrating their longtime broadcaster Vin Scully by naming the day “Vin Scully Opening Day.” Scully was driven onto the field in a convertible classic Ford Mustang and escorted to the mound by Dodgers part-owner Magic Johnson in order to throw the ceremonial first pitch. Once there, a new “mound” was constructed closer to home plate for Scully, after which a number of former iconic Dodgers players were introduced and brought out to surround home plate. The last to be announced was Dodgers legend and longtime friend Sandy Koufax. Koufax then received Scully’s first “pitch.” The moment is captured here in a beautiful color canvas signed by both Koufax and Scully in black marker. A beautiful moment captured of two of the Dodgers’ most recognized personalities. The canvas is numbered “22/25” in the lower right corner. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from The Memorabilia Network.

The year 1962 was significant for the Los Angeles Dodgers. It was the year that their new home, Dodger Stadium, opened to the public for the first time. On hand to call the action that day, as he would be for so many more, was legendary Dodgers announcer Vin Scully. Furthering the lore of 1962 at Dodger Stadium was the fateful day of June 30, when Scully had the honor of calling the game for Sandy Koufax’s first career no-hitter. The significance of the number 62 continued years later as Scully was in his 62nd year of calling games for the Dodgers at the time he signed this jersey. The Majestic brand jersey features the Dodgers logo stitched into the front. Stitched into the back of the jersey are “Scully” and “62” in blue tackle twill letters and numbers. Scully has signed the number 2 on the jersey in silver marker. Affixed to the number 2 of the jersey is Online Authentics sticker number OA-8303612. No OA certificate present. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from The Memorabilia Network. Size L.

Scully’s boss received an apology phone call a few days later, which surprised Red Barber, the CBS sports director and baseball voice of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Scully didn’t complain on the air about the conditions, nor did he mention anything to Barber. Weeks later when the Dodgers were looking for a No. 3 announcer to replace Ernie Harwell, who moved to the New York Giants, Barber immediately thought of the kid who didn’t complain. He could teach Scully how to become a better announcer, but he knew Scully was already a “pro.” Nearly 75 years later, visitors to Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles arrive at “1000 Vin Scully Avenue.” Accompanied by a handwritten and signed letter from Scully, dated 8/4/21, on his personal Dodgers stationairy, that states that the jacket “Saw Action At Dodger Stadium!” The letter is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity for the Scully signature.
The philosophy for broadcaster Vin Scully’s on-air wardrobe was rooted in his childhood while growing up in New York. “We dressed up whenever we visited someone’s home for a dinner or special occasion,” he said. “When I started broadcasting the games on television, I thought of myself as a guest in someone’s home. And when I wore a coat and tie, I always felt like I was at work.”
Offered here is one of Scully’s elegant sport coats, game worn on many Dodger telecasts. The custom-made blue blazer features vertical and horizontal black pinstripes that intersect in a herringbone pattern. Stitched into the interior of the jacket is a tag that reads “Exclusively tailored for Vince Scully by Stasinis.” Stasinis was a custom tailor shop located in Beverly Hills, California, where Scully and numerous celebrities of the day would have suits and jackets made. Scully would generally remove the tags with his name on it from his jackets before donating them to various charities. That makes this jacket much rarer due to the tag still being present in the jacket. No size present. Accompanied by a handwritten and signed note from Scully, on Sculy’s personal Dodgers note card, that reads “Old Reliable!,” and is signed by Scully in blue ink. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from The Memorabilia Network for the Scully signature.

Scully was the voice of the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers for 67 seasons from 1950 to 2016. His career break occurred in November 1949 when the recent Fordham graduate was assigned to cover for CBS Radio the Maryland-Boston University football game in Boston’s Fenway Park. Scully arrived to find no assigned seat in the press box. He was dispatched to the roof and with temperatures in the 40s, shivered while trying to call the play-by-play with a 50-yard microphone cord and as the engineer adjusted the knobs on the equipment perched on a card table. Because there was an evening dance at Fordham, Scully left his coat, hat and gloves in his hotel room, figuring he would be in a spacious broadcasting booth.
A cream-colored blazer, game worn by former Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully when he called a Dodgers game during his illustrious 67-season career. The blazer features a herringbone stitch pattern. Stitched into the interior of the jacket is a tag that reads "Tailored for Carroll & Co Beverly Hills." Carroll & Co was a staple in Beverly Hills, California, for over 70 years. The store made custom jackets and suits for politicians, professionals and celebrities. While Scully would generally have his name embroidered on a tag on the interior of his jackets, as is seen in the previous lots, he would generally remove those tags in advance of donating his jackets to charity. As a result, there is no name tag present on the interior of this jacket. No size present.

Worth had a front-row seat at Dodger Stadium became the sports centerpiece in Southern California, setting attendance records as the Dodgers made three World Series appearances in a four-year span between 1963 and 1966. When Sandy Koufax pitched the only perfect game in franchise history on Sept. 9, 1965, Worth’s overhead press-box angled photo of the left-hander leaping into the air after pinch-hitter Harvey Kuenn struck out was immortalized on the cover of The Sporting News. Another memorable TSN cover by Worth was produced in 1977 after Steve Garvey, Reggie Smith, Ron Cey and Dusty Baker became the first “30 Home Run Quartet” in MLB history.

The photograph depicts Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers legend Sandy Koufax standing between two legends in their own right, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.

Koufax has signed the image in silver marker. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from The Memorabilia Network.
Opening Day 1977 at Dodger Stadium marked Tommy Lasorda’s first full season as the Los Angeles manager. To commemorate the occasion, his longtime friend performed the national anthem. Prior to the game, only one member of the press could put their arm around both Lasorda and “Ol’ Blue Eyes” as Worth’s beaming smile was front and center in the frame – a rare time on the other side of the camera. Worth’s 1962 credential – numbered 108 – has been encapsulated by PSA and graded “Authentic.” With a population of two, this is one of only two 1962 passes that have ever been graded by PSA, and the only one ever issued to Worth, making this a unique item.

At Dodger Stadium, Worth witnessed an exciting and heartbreaking season for the home team. Don Drysdale won 25 games and the Cy Young Award; league MVP Maury Wills swiped an MLB record 104 bases; and Tommy Davis won the first of two consecutive N.L. batting titles. But the Dodgers lost a playoff series against San Francisco – blowing a 4-2 lead in the ninth inning of Game 3 as their new West Coast rivals rallied for four runs and a 6-4 victory.

Worth also moonlighted for popular movie magazines, providing such “stars in the grandstands” photos like Leo Durocher, Harpo Marx, Larraine Day, Jimmy Durante, Danny Kaye and Jayne Russell. His portfolio expanded in the 1950s along with his list of friendships, which included Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Jayne Mansfield and Jerry Lewis. Worth recalled a story of visiting an empty theater and noticing what he presumed was a standard violin. The instrument was rare and valuable and Worth happily reunited comedian Jack Benny with his prized Stradivarius.

As the official photographer of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Frank Worth received the first media credential for the 1963 season – number 0001 – from publicity director Arthur “Red” Patterson. Worth chronicled the team’s championship season with a roster featuring Hall of Fame pitchers Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale, league MVP Maury Wills and batting champion Tommy Davis. Worth also struck up a unique friendship with rookie Roy Gleason, a local outfield prospect from Garden Grove High School whose 6-foot-5, 220-pound muscular frame and engaging personality made him a natural for Hollywood. In addition to his baseball assignments, Worth was a member of the Hollywood Photographers Guild.

“He made himself my personal manager,” said Gleason, who appeared in eight games with the 1963 Dodgers and doubled in his only plate appearance. “He had the Hollywood connections and arranged for me to be in a few movies. Frank knew all the movie stars, they called him ‘Francis.’ We visited Frank Sinatra on the set of Von Ryan Express. We met with Tony Curtis, who was filming The Great Race.”
“When I was wounded in Vietnam and was med-evacuated to Osaka, Japan in 1968, Frank was the first one to contact me,” Gleason said. “I have no idea how he got the telephone number. When I was released from the hospital and the Army in January 1969, Frank picked me up at the airport and I stayed at his penthouse apartment in Hollywood until after the Super Bowl. Frank had a good heart and would give you the shirt off his back if he liked you.”
Worth’s 1963 credential has been encapsulated by PSA and graded “Authentic.” With a population of two, this is one of only two 1963 Dodgers Photographers passes that PSA has ever graded, and the only pass issued to Worth that season, making this a rare and unique item.

After Gleason’s MLB debut in September 1963, he returned to the minors and eventually was drafted into the U.S. Army. He received a Purple Heart for his service in Vietnam. Gleason attempted a baseball comeback with the Dodgers in spring training 1969, but he was sent to the minors. He eventually retired with an MLB career 1.000 batting average. Gleason and Worth remained friends until the photographer’s passing in 2000. When Gleason helped clean Worth’s apartment, the photographer offered to pay him. Gleason politely declined, so Worth found another thank-you gift. He reached into a drawer and pulled out a gold money clip from comedian Lou Costello.

The Dodgers in 2003 honored Gleason on the 40th anniversary of his MLB debut. After he threw out the ceremonial first pitch, manager Jim Tracy and the Dodger players walked onto the field and surprised Gleason with a 1963 World Series ring, replacing the one he lost while serving in Vietnam. Gleason’s story was later chronicled in the book, “Lost in the Sun.” Gleason was happy to reconnect with former players and even umpire Bruce Froemming, whom he’d met in the Northwest League when he played with Class-A Salem (OR). But he had always stayed in touch with the photographer who took his first publicity photo, swinging a bat in shallow left field at Dodger Stadium when Gleason embarked on a career filled with unexpected challenges.

A Louisville Slugger J93 model baseball bat game used by “Mr. October,” Reggie Jackson. The hickory-finished bat features the Louisville Slugger logo stamped into the barrel of the bat, with Jackson’s facsimile signature stamped into the end of the barrel. The bat exhibits good use and cleat marks. Amazingly appearing on the label is the reverse of a portion of text from a Rawlings Official American League Baseball with a backwards “RO-A” and a backwards portion of the words “Cushioned Cork Center” that appear over the “RO-A” on the ball. It is incredible to think how hard Jackson must have hit a baseball for the ink on the leather of the ball to transfer onto the bat. The handle on the bat is clean. This is not out of character for a Jackson gamer as he did not use heavy amounts of pine tar on his bats, if any at all, such as is with this bat.

In 1980, Hillerich & Bradsby changed the style of the logo on the Louisville Slugger bat to the one that is present on this bat. As well, the width of the new logo from 1980 to 1983 was 4 1/2 inches. The logo width was decreased to 3 1/2 inches at some point in 1983, thus allowing us to pinpoint the bat’s era.
Weighing 31 ounces, the bat features Henderson’s barrel brand facsimile signature. Henderson has signed the barrel of the bat in black marker. Henderson played 24 seasons in Major League Baseball. Nicknamed the “Man of Steal,” he is widely regarded as baseball’s greatest leadoff hitter and baserunner. He holds the Major League records for career stolen bases, runs, unintentional walks and leadoff home runs.

A Rawlings Adirondack Big Stick brand baseball bat, game issued to former Oakland A's slugger Mark McGwire when he first came up to Major League Baseball (MLB) in 1986. The bat can be dated to 1986 as this was the last year that the Rawlings Adirondack logo style that appears on this bat was used by the company. In 1987, Rawlings changed the barrel logo, removing the chevrons above and below the logo and moving the word “Adirondack” to the right of the Rawlings logo as opposed to below it, as it is seen on this bat. Lastly, the “Pro Ring” portion of the logo would also be moved to the right, with the word “Adirondack” being printed through the middle of the Pro Ring logo. Rawlings kept this version of the logo from 1987 through 1989, changing again in 1990. Stamped into the barrel is the Rawlings Adirondack logo used by the company from 1983 through 1986. Stamped into the barrel near the end is “Mark McGwire” in large block lettering between “Big Stick:” and “Professional Model.” Appearing at the center of the bat is a green ring to match the Oakland A’s team colors. Stamped into the knob of the bat is McGwire’s bat model number “256B.” Written on the knob and end cap of the bat is “MAC” in black marker. McGwire has signed the barrel of the bat in black marker, adding his uniform number “25.” McGwire played in 18 games for the A’s in 1986 after getting called up from the minor leagues in August of that year. He hit three home runs over those 18 games. While no one would know it at the time, this was just a preview of what was to come in McGwire’s breakout year of 1987, when he hit 49 home runs, setting the Major League Baseball rookie home run

ALI AND GEORGE CHUVALO SIGNED 1966 FIGHT CONTRACT
The fight would prove to be one of the most thrilling and physically demanding of Ali’s career. While Ali was much quicker and more agile than Chuvalo, Chuvalo displayed a tough brawler technique, making his thunderous punches count every time he landed one. With the fight coming to an end and Ali ahead on the score cards, Chuvalo landed a quick and painful four-punch combo that sparked the crowd into a frenzy. However, Ali would weather the storm to the bell and claim the unanimous decision.
Page one of this five-page document states that Muhammad Ali and Ernest Terrell agreed to fight for the World Heavyweight Boxing Championship on March 29, 1966, at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. However, it would be Canadian heavyweight champion George Chuvalo who would step into the ring and face Ali after Terrell dropped out just 17 days before the scheduled fight.
The contract is dated March 7, 1966, a few days before Terrell announced he was dropping out. Initially, the contract stated that Ali would fight Terrell first and Chuvalo would face the winner. After Terrell backed out just a few weeks prior, the Canadian heavyweight was bumped up to face Ali in the main event. The fifth page was signed by Ali and Chuvalo but not by Terrell. Ali signed the contract in blue ink and Chuvalo in black ink. Accompanied by Letters of Authenticity from Beckett, PSA, and JSA as well as a Certificate of Authenticity from The Memorabilia Network.

The contract states that the promoter has the right to use Ali for radio, television, and motion picture promotion for the fight. In exchange for Ali’s promotional services, 42 1/2 percent of the net revenue of the fight will be given to Ali and his team. The document also states that a generous donation of $50,000 will be given to a charity that the mayor of Atlanta will choose.

Dated September 9, 1970, this nine-page document describes all of the parameters needed for Muhammad Ali to make his return to the boxing ring after a three-and-a-half-year exile due to his disagreement with his draft status during the war in Vietnam. During those three years away from boxing, more than 70 cities turned down Ali’s request to fight. Finally, in 1970, Atlanta, Georgia, agreed to let him return to the ring. A fight between Ali and Jerry Quarry took place on October 26, 1970.
Ali handled Quarry from the moment the bell was rung, dominating every minute of the fight. Ali would win by technical knockout after officials stopped the fight in the third round. The final page of the document is signed by Ali in blue pen. He also signed the document with his birth name, Cassius Clay, in blue pen. Accompanied by Letters of Authenticity from Beckett Authentication Services and PSA as well as a Certificate of Authenticity from The Memorabilia Network.

Ali won the heavyweight championship in 1964, 1974 and 1978. “Iron” Mike Tyson was one of the fiercest boxers the sport has ever seen. Tyson won the heavyweight championship in 1986 and was the undisputed heavyweight champ from 1987 to 1990.

It is no surprise that Muhammad Ali was so much more than a fighter. He was a true student of the human mind and understood people better than most. Ali was a fan of many skills and talents that lived outside the boxing ring. One of his favorite pastimes was magic. He kept many items and toys from magicians he met throughout his life. A favorite trick of Ali’s was using a fake thumb to suggest an injury. He would even pull his car over on the side of the street when he saw a group of people for whom he could perform magic. Included in this group are the aforementioned fake thumb, a magic coloring book, cards used for his magic tricks, dice, scarves also used for tricks, two of three juggling balls he would use, and a yo-yo. Also included is a “Magic Squirrel” gifted to Ali from magician Terry La Sorda in 1978 at Ali’s training camp in Deer Lake, Pennsylvania. Lastly included are two candid color photographs of Ali performing his magic tricks.

A group of 70 pages with many handwritten in cursive or block lettering, and also typed, by one of the greatest and most influential sports figures of the 20th century, Muhammad Ali.

Those responsibilities manifested him into a transformative humanitarian and advocate for peace.

ALI BIBLE WRITINGS AND THOUGHTS WITH 12 SIGNATURES AND VARIOUS SKETCHES
Ali dedicated his life to improving others through recognizing that we are all human and to reduce suffering in any way that he could. He landed at the conclusion that the Bible cannot be God’s words because, he wondered, what God would condemn so many people to the suffering that we see today? “He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life,” Ali said. Ali only asked us all to continue to grow emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually to better ourselves and others around us.
Ali has signed 11 of the pages, with one of the pages signed twice. In addition, Ali has added numerous sketches to the bottom of some of the pages, including his familiar themes of a ship passing through a strait, an airplane, and his drawing of his “Thrilla in Manila” fight with Joe Frazier.

JAMES472 DEAN “LIFEMASK” ASSOCIATED WITH KENNETH KENDALL
A plaster mask of James Dean’s face, taken from an original mold that was created when Dean was still alive and filming his last movie, Giant (Warner Bros., 1956). The mask has been painted in tones to simulate real skin, eyes, eyebrows and lips. Written on the interior of the plaster mask is “Lifemask/ James Dean at 24/ Feb 8 1931/ Sept 30 1955/ Celebrated Actor.” Also written on the interior are the initials of sculptor Kenneth Kendall (back-to-back Ks). Kendall was born and raised in Los Angeles and had an art studio on Melrose Avenue. One day, Dean dropped by unannounced to Kendall’s studio asking about a sculpture Kendall was making of Dean’s hero, Marlon Brando. It was at that first meeting that Dean inquired if Kendall would like to sculpt him. Kendall gladly agreed, but unfortunately the two would not meet again due to Dean’s film schedule and his untimely death on September 30, 1955, eight months after Kendall and Dean’s first meeting. In Dean’s honor, Kendall followed through with the sculpting project, acquiring a lifemask of Dean from Dean’s father as one of his main reference points and most likely the lifemask that this version was based off of. The mask is housed in a Lucite display case.

GENE484 HACKMAN SCREEN WORN AND SIGNED LEX LUTHOR SUIT FROM SUPERMAN II
Described as an egomaniacal genius and billionaire industrialist, the character of Lex Luthor fights a never-ending personal, public, and political battle against Superman. He is both the most intelligent man on Earth, and he has impeccable style. This can be seen in Gene Hackman’s iteration of the character from the first two Superman films (Columbia, 1978 & 1980). In 1977, producers elected to film both Superman and its sequel simultaneously, with principal photography beginning in March 1977 and ending in October 1978. Tensions rose between original director Richard Donner and the producers from which a decision was made to stop filming the sequel, 75 percent of which had already been completed, and finish the first film. Following the release of Superman in December 1978, Donner was controversially fired as director and replaced by Richard Lester. To be officially credited as the director, Lester reshot most of the film in which principal photography resumed in September 1979 and ended in March 1980. As the production chose to initially film both movies at once, wardrobe was created for both films at the same time, with some wardrobe used in both films. Wardrobe for the film was created by British costumers Bermans & Nathans. Offered here is a three-piece suit, consisting of a jacket, pants and vest, worn by Hackman as Lex Luthor in the film Superman II. The suit features alternating thin and thick patterned chalk stripes. The interior of the jacket and the back of the vest are lined with silk with a printed horse stirrup foothold pattern in red. Stitched into the back lining of the vest is a Berman & Nathans tag, listing the company’s address as “40 Camden St., London N.W.1.” and “Gene Hackman. 12211. Lex Luthor. Superman.” Stitched into the interior pocket of the jacket is a Berman & Nathans tag, listing the company’s address as “40 Camden St., London N.W.1.” and “Vic Armstrong. Superman. 12211.” Armstrong was both Hackman’s and Christopher Reeve’s stunt double on the film; as such, he also wore this suit while filming. The suit has been signed by Hackman in silver marker, inscribing his character’s name, “Lex Luthor.” The suit is accompanied by a color image of Hackman, mounted on canvas, signing the suit circa 2018, and a print of a color photograph of Hackman wearing the suit while on set for the film and laying on a bank of filing cabinets. The suit is also accompanied by a copy of the film on DVD and a Certificate of Authenticity from The Memorabilia Network for the signature.

RAY529 LIOTTA TURBULENCE FILM WORN ENSEMBLE
In planning the sequel to George Lucas’s epic The Empire Strikes Back (20th Century Fox, 1980), the second installment in Lucas’ original Star Wars trilogy, Lucas and screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan penned the script for the third installment in the trilogy, Return of the Jedi (20th Century Fox, 1983). Kasdan claims he told Lucas that Return of the Jedi was “a weak title,” and Lucas later decided to name the film “Revenge of the Jedi.” The “Revenge” title appeared in the original teaser trailer for the film as well as some original teaser posters first produced for the film, such as this one. In December 1982, Lucas decided that “Revenge” was not appropriate as a true Jedi should never seek revenge and returned to his original title. By that time, the first shipments of these teaser posters had already been distributed. Lucasfilm stopped the shipping of the posters and sold the remaining stock of these posters to Star Wars Fan Club members. Printed in the left corner border of the poster is “The Revenge Of The Jedi Teaser One Sheet.” Printed in the right corner of the poster are trademark and copyright logos with “Lucasfim LTD. 1982.” in the bottom right. There are a few light scratches on this poster and a small puncture in the bottom right. Remnants of tape are on the top back of the poster.

A winter-style puffer vest made for Fleetwood Mac’s 1979 Tusk World Tour. In 1979, Fleetwood Mac embarked on a 112-show world tour to promote their newest album, Tusk (Warner Bros., 1979). Beginning in Pocatello, Idaho, on October 26, 1979, and ending September 1, 1980, at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California, the tour was a crazy rollercoaster that was nearly detrimental to the survival of the band. In order to provide a cheaper option after the million dollars of expenses blown on the tour itself, every one of their shows was filmed and recorded for the group’s “Live” album. The rustcolored polyester vest features a red penguin-like logo stitched into the upper front left of the vest. Stitched into the back of the vest is “Tusk Tour ‘79” in embroidered script and block lettering. Stitched into the interior of the vest is a manufacturer’s tag reading “Another Summit Road Production” and “Custom made by Cat’s Pajamas for:” with the name “Scott” written on the tag in now-faded black marker. Size 3.

Because the concert was sponsored by the Tecate beer company, the logo in the upper left of the blue satin vest features an embroidered Tecate beer can next to a heart and the letters “T.P.” with an ampersand and an embroidered broken heart below. Stitched into the opposite front side of the vest is the name “Mike” in embroidered red cursive writing. Embroidered into the back of the vest in embroidered white and red cursive and block lettering is “Tecate Beer/ Proudly Presents/ Tom Petty/ And/ The Heartbreakers/ U.S.A. Tour 1983. While there is no size present, it is clear that Mike was a large man!

The blending of three legendary voices in concert on the eve of the 1990 World Cup final produced a musical “Dream Team” and made Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti household names around the world. Pavarotti had previously declined invitations to form the group, but the return of Carreras to the stage following a bout with leukemia provided a forum for the singers to unite and celebrate.

Domingo occasionally played in charity games and supported Real Madrid.

Tom Landry, the iconic first-ever head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, was known as much for his winning ways as he was for his iconic fedora hats that he would wear while roaming the Dallas Cowboys sidelines. During a remarkable 29 seasons as the Cowboys head coach, Landry led the Cowboys to two Super Bowl wins in five total trips to the big game, along with an incredible 20 straight winning seasons from 1966 through 1985. Even though Landry was on the sideline for 29 seasons, very few personal artifacts of Landry’s have ever come to market. This fedora was gifted by Landry to a “local hero” in 1984. Landry sent this fedora to B.J. Murray, dubbed “The Tom Landry of Trinity High School” in Euless, Texas. This Knox fedora shows wear and has some marks on the manufacturer’s logo in the inner crown. The headband shows some wear as well. Included is an framed letter from Landry, dated May 14, 1984, that was included when the hat was sent. In the letter, Landry refers to Murray as the Landry of Trinity High School given his long association with the school. Landry also encourages the recipient to wear the fedora to a Parent-Teacher gathering to reaffirm the claim. Landry has signed the letter in blue ink. Accompanied by a pre-certification certificate and a Certificate of Authenticity from The Memorabilia Network. Size 7.5.

Tax will not be charged on items that are picked up by carriers, forwarding agents, export packers, customs brokers, etc. that are to be shipped out of the State of California, either domestically or internationally.

7. Winning Bids & Buyer’s Premium - All lots will be sold to the bidder with the highest bid accepted by TMN as of the lot closing in the auction. Winning bids will be considered the “Hammer Price” for a given lot. A Buyer’s Premium will be added to the Hammer Price of each lot and is payable by the winning bidder as part of the purchase price of the lot. For all lots sold at $100.00 and below, a Buyer’s Premium of $15.00 will be added to the lot. For all lots sold at $100.01 and higher, a Buyer’s Premium equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the Hammer Price will be added to the lot. (For example, if you win a lot with a Hammer Price of $200.00, then your total cost for that lot will be $200.00 plus the 15% Buyer’s Premium, which in this example would equal $30.00, for a total purchase price of $230.00 for the lot). If you are the winning bidder of a lot(s), TMN will email you advising you of your success in winning the given lot(s) in the auction. The winning Bidder is responsible for paying TMN the Hammer Price,

will enter the Extended Bidding period for a minimum of 30 minutes. If you are the only bidder on a given lot at 7:00 pm PST, then that lot will automatically close, and you will be declared the winner. All lots that continue into the Extended Bidding period will be open for bidding until there are no more bids placed on a given lot for 30 minutes. Each time a bid is placed in the Extended Bidding period for a given lot, that lot’s closing time will be extended for 30 more minutes. For example, if a bid is placed at 7:45pm PST, the new end time for the lot would be 8:15pm PST. If no other bids are placed before 8:15 pm, the lot will close. If a bid is placed at 8:00pm during this period, then the new closing time for the lot would be 8:30pm. If you are the high bidder on the lot, changing your bid will not extend the bidding during the 30-minute ending phase (only a bid from another bidder will extend bidding). The Extended Bidding period allows for all Bidders the opportunity to bid on all lots without getting outbid at the last second due to time constraints. TMN is not responsible if a Bidder unsubscribes from TMN’s email notifications which will include notifications about the closing of the auction and extended bidding. TMN may also, in its sole discretion, extend the closing time of any lot in the auction.

452 | thememorabilianetwork.com
All Lots Other Than Trading Cards and Game Tickets – All lots are accurately described to the best of TMN’s abilities, provided, however, that authenticity and provenance are not warranted. TMN will always strive for accurate presentation of all items and lots in our auctions. If, in our reasonable opinion, we deem any information presented by TMN to be incorrect, TMN may refund the original purchaser of record the hammer price paid and any applicable buyer’s premium if the original purchaser provides information and related documentation via email that may cast doubt as to the accuracy of the item or lot. Should TMN agree, the original purchaser may then return the item to TMN, at their expense, in the same condition that the item or lot was in as at the closing date of the sale. The original purchaser must be able to transfer good title to the lot, free of any third-party claims arising after the sale date. The original purchaser must also provide TMN with reports regarding the authorship of the item or lot from two (2) independent and recognized experts in the field, who are reasonably acceptable to TMN. This guarantee is provided to the original purchaser for a period of sixty (60) days from the date of the auction, is solely for the benefit of the original purchaser of record at the auction and may not be transferred to a third party. To the maximum extent permitted by law, TMN has the sole discretion to waive any of the requirements listed in this section. TMN provides no assurance that after all information listed above relating to the authenticity and / or provenance of a given item is transmitted to TMN that TMN will validate the claim. Authentication is not an exact science, and contrary opinions may not be recognized by TMN. Should TMN validate a claim such as what it listed above, any fees paid to a third-party expert in the field by the original purchaser shall be the sole responsibility of the original purchaser making the claim. In no case will TMN’s maximum liability exceed the high bid on the item or lot, which bid shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the lot. While every effort is made to determine the authenticity and provenance of all items and lots in TMN’s auctions, it is the responsibility of the Bidder to arrive at their own conclusions prior to bidding in any TMN auction.

The original purchaser may not transfer the rights afforded under the COA and it is null and void if the original purchaser transfers or attempts to transfer the item or lot to another individual.

TMN and the Consignor make no representations or warranties, express or implied, as to whether the purchaser acquires any copyrights, including but not limited to, and reproduction rights of any property. TMN and the Consignor are not responsible for any errors or omissions in the printed catalog, online catalog or listing, or any supplemental material, or regarding the failure of the auction program to execute any bids on behalf of the bidder.

15. Conduct - It is illegal for a Bidder or Bidders to collude, pool, or agree with another Bidder to pay less than the fair value for any lots.

17. Liability Cap – TMN’s maximum aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Auction Terms and Conditions, regardless of the theory of liability, will be limited to the greater of $1,000 and the total purchase price paid or payable by you to TMN. The existence of more than one claim shall not expand such limit. The parties acknowledge that the fees agreed upon between a Bidder and TMN are based in part on these limitations, and that these limitations will apply notwithstanding any failure of any essential purpose of any limited remedy. The foregoing limitation of liability shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by law in the applicable jurisdiction.
