I've been going through a large sports collection that a friend of mine acquired, and I found a book titled Sports of the Times which has reprints of articles from The New York Times covering 1892 to 1981. There are 160+ autographs throughout the book either on articles about the particular player or on a page that was a relevant year (such as a Heisman Trophy winner). The book has been stored since 1998 so none of the autographs would have been obtained after that year. A few of the autographs have a sticker with BAE followed by a number, but most do not. There are also a few tickets from shows where a few of the autographs were apparently obtained.

Below is the complete list of autographs. The ones with question marks I am fairly certain about being correctly identified, but I am not 100% sure for them. I have posted pictures of some of the bigger names, but I am happy to post more or email more to anyone that wants to see others. Just PM me with what you want to see.

The price is $3500 OBO shipped with payment through PayPal F&F or Venmo (no fee).
