Super Super Rare! $25,000 Willard Brown-(D) Scarce signature of this newly elected member of the baseball hall of fame selected among the 17 worthy Negro Leaguers in the 2006 special Negro League election. Dubbed Home Run by Josh Gibson, Willard Brown regularly posted batting averages well above .300, helping the Kansas City Monarchs win six pennants between 1937 and 1946. The slugging outfielder played in eight East-West All-Star games, lost two years to Army service during World War II, and had a brief stint with the St. Louis Browns in 1947. A star in the Puerto Rico Winter League in the 1940s and 1950s, Brown captured a pair of Triple Crowns, topped the .400-mark twice and earned the nickname Ese Hombre (The Man). He finished his career with five seasons in the minor leagues, bashing 35 home runs in the Texas League in 1954. We offer a very tough signed 3x5 card $1250 Jack Buck- (D) was an American sportscaster, best known for his work announcing Major League Baseball games of the St. Louis Cardinals. Buck received the Ford C. Frick Award from the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1987, and is honored with a star on the St. Louis Walk of Fame. He was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 1995.

Comes with a bonus contract signed by his son to play baseball in Puerto Rico $1900 Ban Johnson-TLS from 1915 on AL letterhead to Yankees owner TL Huston with baseball content. Very rare $895 (K) Sandy Koufax-signed 3x5 card. Nice 1990's signature. We haven't had a Koufax signed 3x5 in stock for a few years. You ask why? He rarely does signings anymore and when he does, he's so expensive that people don't bother to get a 3x5 signed. Great signature in black ink $149 Bowie Kuhn-signed handwritten letter to his parents about being in Europe that fits two sides of his American Express letterhead. He signed the letter with his first name, but this comes with the original Air Mail Envelope postmarked from Denmark in 1950 that he also signed his name BK Kuhn. RARE $249 Mickey Mantle & Billy Martin- Here we have a framed 8x10 that has been signed by two Yankees legends, Mickey Mantle and Billy Martin. The pair appear to be relaxing and enjoying some pops. The photo in the frame measures approximately 12.5" x 15.5" inches. The photo comes with a COA from STEINER. The COA is taped to the back of the frame. As always, this piece is guaranteed authentic by Albersheim's .$950 Heine Manush-signed Gold HOF plaque postcard. One of the tougher ones $350 Heine Manush-signed 2x3 card $95 Christy Mathewson- Signed Check. In the rough and tumble Dead Ball Era of our national pastime, when the sport was populated by brawling drunks and illiterate farmhands, Matty was recognized almost as much for his gentlemanly comportment as he was for his remarkable Hall of Fame abilities. The 373-game winning right-hander filled out and signed this personal check less than a year before his early death as the delayed result of a World War I gas attack, scripting all words, figures and his closing signature in bold 9+/10 black fountain pen ink. "Big Six" signatures are becoming increasingly tough, and forgeries abound. Smart investors are aggressively chasing the few available examples of his personal checks as they appear, and we expect the flow will continue to wane in coming years, and that the value will continue to rise. Super RARE! $29,995 Joe McCarthy-signed 3.5" x 7" book photo $75 Sid Mercer-(D. 1945) A charter member of the Baseball Writers' Association of America, Mercer covered New York baseball with an easy, informative writing style. Ford Frick recalled: "Sid Mercer was a dedicated man. His contributions went far beyond writing. He was at one and the same time critic and defender." A recognized authority on both boxing and baseball, Mercer was appointed to the Hall of Fame Committee on Baseball Veterans less than a year before his passing. He was elected to the Writer's Wing of the Baseball HOF in 1969. We offer a typed letter signed on Friar's Club letterhead regarding that he had been busy due to the World Series. He refers to charging for baseball biographies and makes reference to Mr. Rice (Grantland?). Very unique and rare letter from this writing legend .$795 Bob Murphy-(D. 1994) was an American sportscaster who spent 50 years doing play-by-play of Major League Baseball games on television and radio. The Oklahoman was best-known for announcing the New York Mets, from their inception in 1962 until his retirement in 2003. Murphy's call of Roger Maris' record-tying 60th home run of the 1961 season became an audition tape that landed him a job with the expansion New York Mets in 1962. He is a member of the Broadcaster's Wing of the Baseball HOF. We offer a 1960's signed 3x5 card. A pretty tough signature to find! $79 Lindsey Nelson-signed and personalized postcard that he signed on the front and back. The postcard is a photo of him and underneath, it says "Voice of the NY Mets" Rare $295 Satchel Paige-signed 8x10 photo of Paige in Monarchs uniform batting. Above the photo of Paige is another picture of him with Ted Page who also signed the photo. Two great Negro League legends and a very uncommon photo $950 Alex Pompez-(D) The son of Cuban immigrants, Alejandro Pompez owned the Cuban Stars of the Eastern Colored League, and later the New York Cubans of the Negro National League. Following the demise of the Negro leagues, Pompez was hired as a scout for the New York and San Francisco Giants, where for 25 years he worked to open the door for Caribbean players to enter the major leagues. He helped sign future stars such as Orlando Cepeda, Juan Marichal and the Alou brothers. His expertise on African-American baseball history was confirmed in 1971 when he was asked to serve on the Hall of Fame's Committee on Negro Leagues. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame a few years ago when they inducted several Negro Leaguers. We offer this exceedingly rare official Negro National League Uniform Player's contract for the 1947 season NY Cubans and Lorenzo Cabrera who played for the New York Cubans between 1947-50. He was a member of the 47 team that won the Negro National League pennant by defeating the Cleveland Buckeyes in the Negro World Series. The contract has also been signed by Cabrera and a notary as a witness. We can not stress how rare this piece is!!! $12,500 Cum Posey-(D. 1946)First as a player and then later as manager and team owner, Cumberland Cum Posey was for 35 years the driving force behind the Homestead Grays, one of the most successful teams in Negro league history. His business acumen and organizational skills made the Grays a perennial powerhouse and money-making machine. He also had a keen eye for picking and developing talent, with more than 10 Negro league Hall of Famers playing for Posey's Homestead squad. During his tenure at the helm, Homestead split its home games between Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C., regularly drawing 25,000 to 30,000 fans to contests at Forbes Field and Griffith Stadium. Posey's team won eight of nine Negro National League pennants from 1937 to 1945, including three world titles. We offer a [Cumberland] C. W. Posey signed document. Posey died in 1946, long before the onset of collecting interest in the Negro Leagues and his autograph remains exceedingly rare. Here is a Homestead High School 1941 graduation diploma bearing Poseys exceedingly rare signature, C.W. Posey as director. There are less than 15 Posey autographs known, making his signature one of the most rare of all hall of fame members. There is a vertical crease going through the diploma, but it does not touch the Posey autograph $6495 Pee Wee Reese-signed 8.5" x 11" questionnaire that he answered 8 questions and signed his name. He said the toughest hitters to pitch to were Musial and Mays. He thought the best team was the Yankees of the early 40's and early 40's. The best players were DiMaggio and Mays. His most memorable moment was winning the 1955 World Series. Plus much more content. Like a handwritten letter $149 Branch Rickey-signed very rare personal check dated 2 months before his death in 1965 $950 Cal Ripken-Heavy stock color 8x10 book photo of Ripken playing with the Rochester Redwings pre-dating his days with the Orioles. Nice vintage autograph $95 Robin Roberts-signed Padres payroll check from 1975 for appearing at an Oldtimers game. RARE $150 Jackie Robinson-signed Gold HOF plaque postcard. These are seldom seen anymore $2495 George Sisler- signed Gold HOF plaque postcard. TOUGH $175 Enos Slaughter-(D) signed personal check $49 Hilton Smith- (D. 1983)It took the Baseball Hall Of Fame more than a half century to recognize the extraordinary talents of the K.C. Monarchs' "other pitcher" during the late 1930s and 1940s. In an era when the colorful Satchel Paige was the darling of black sportswriters and, consequently, the fan favorite on any day, the brilliant career of Hilton Smith never quite received the attention it deserved. During each of his 12 seasons with the Monarchs he posted 20+ wins. He appeared in six consecutive East-West All-Star games from 1937-1942, and in 1941 posted a .961 winning percentage in a 25-1 season. To top it all off Smith contributed three .300+ seasons at the plate, making him as dangerous at the plate as he was on the mound. He was elected to the Baseball HOF in 2001. We offer a gorgeous signed 3x5 card (slabbed) that he signed his name and wrote Kansas City Monarch. I had a 25-1 record in 1941. Played in 5 All Star Games. Most of the Smith autographs that we've seen since his election to the HOF have been absorbed into private collections $895 Billy Southworth- (D. 1969) isn't the best known Cardinals manager, but no one ever had a better run helming the team. Southworth managed parts of 13 seasons in the Major Leagues, including seven seasons over two stints in St. Louis. He was player-manager for 90 games in 1929, then presided over the dominant Cardinals teams from 1940-1945. Those teams won three pennants and two World Series titles, and in Southworth's five full seasons as Cardinals manager, the team averaged nearly 102 wins per year. He died in 1969 and was elected to the Baseball HOF in 2008. We offer a photo from a newspaper or magazine mounted to a 3x5 card that has been signed by Southworth $395 Billy Southworth-signed 2.5" x 4" newspaper photo of the newest member of the Baseball HOF mounted to a 3x5 card $395 Casey Stengel-signed personal check from this legendary Yankees manager $650 Arky Vaughan-Major League Baseball shortstop, described as one of the greatest hitting shortstops ever, batting over .400 in every season through 1941. He retired with 1173 runs scored, 96 home runs, 926 RBI, 118 steals, a .318 batting average (the second higher mark for a Hall of Fame shortstop) and a .406 on base percentage. At the age of 40, in 1952, while fishing in the ocean just off the coast of Eagleville, California, Vaughan and a friend were caught up in a storm, their boat sank, and the two men drowned. Twice -signed 1929 (his junior year) Fullerton High School yearbook, Pleiades, 8 x 10.75, 160 pages. He's signed "Floyd Vaughan 'Now'", on pages 118 and 132, near his team pictures. Major League catcher, Willard Hershberger is pictured in the yearbook too (he was Vaughan's classmate and baseball teammate $1995 Honus Wagner-Awesome Typed letter signed dated April 6, 1927 on his sporting goods letterhead (has his picture) written to the principal of a Jr. High School in PA (this letter was found 20 years ago when the school was being torn down). He apologizes for not being able to be a presenter at the school's sports banquet. This comes with an additional bonus letter from March 31, 1927 congratulating the principal on the school's basketball championship. The bonus letter has been signed by another rep from the company (but same awesome letterhead). Evidently Honus' company was making the trophy for the championship. The letter signed by Wagner has been signed John H Wagner. Super rare and desirable $3495 Billy Williams-signed Perez Steele Celebration card $20 Ted Williams-ROOKIE ERA George Burke (stamp on back) sepia toned matte finish 3.5" x 5.5" photo signed in fountain pen. This signature is circa 1939-40. Gorgeous! RARE from the Rolls Royce of Baseball Photographers and signed WOW $950 Ted Williams-signed strips with 12 signatures that were signed for a statue (Salvino) made in the 90's, but were never attached $1800 (B) Ted Williams-signed vintage 5x7 photo while manager of the Washington Senators $249 George Wright-(D. 1937) George Wright was the star shortstop of baseball's first openly all-professional team, the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings, for whom he hit 49 home runs in 57 games and batted an astounding .633. Besides being a feared slugger, Wright was renowned as a superior fielder, revolutionizing play at shortstop. He went on to captain the Boston Red Stockings to four straight National Association flags (1872-75). He also piloted Boston to National League pennants in 1877 and '78, and in 1879 led Providence to the city's first league championship. He was elected to the Baseball HOF in 1937. We offer a signature in fountain pen that has been slabbed and graded a 9 (on a scale of 1-10). It has been mounted to a 3x5 card with the notation that this was cut from a document dated 1934. Wright is a super tough autograph!!! $3995 Early Wynn-signed San Diego Padres payroll check from 1975.
