Beautiful, vintage Ty Cobb signed baseball. $4995

This is NOT single signed, but is a great, bold example of the Georgia Peach. Ball is now slabbed by JSA/BGS (sorry for the crappy cell phone pic)



Here are some nice photos before slabbbing



For you Yankees and Red Sox fans, the ball has also been signed by Everett Scott. The "Deacon" played 12 seasons from 1914-26 and served as captain of both the fabled New York Yankees, as well as the Boston Red Sox. He is a member of the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame and played on 3 Red Sox World Series championship teams. He was also on the Yankees 1923 World Series winning team. Scott held the record for most consecutive games played until his steak was bested by the Iron Horse in 1933.



Also signed by a couple of others including 1919 Black Sox Manager William "Kid" Gleason and Joe Boley.





The J.C. Toole of course is not an authentic signature. It is part of the ball's design.





Next up is a fantastic Cobb letter written on several of his personal note cards. Shows an intensely personal side of the Peach.

"I am going to ward off with God's help the "bow out" or final curtain as long as possible." Even the great Ty Cobb recognized his own mortality. $1500










Next is a cool multi signed piece. Some of the greatest athletic talent of the early 1900's including the Peach, Jim Thorpe, Jack Dempsey, and Pop Warner. The back features several prominent golfers including a scarce signature of Masters champion Craig Wood (Back was scanned prior to slabbing). $2500





Next up is an envelope signed by the Peach, "T.R. Cobb". Because of condition issues, this one is priced cheap at $650.

Next up is kind of a "different" piece. If you can't or won't drop 20 g's on a Christy Mathewson signed check, here's a decent space filler. A fine example of this tough HOF'ers handwriting already slabbed for you $995



If Mathewson is not a good enough pitcher to float your boat, how about this Cy Young instead $1300



Perhaps sports aren't your thing but you like historical/presidential. Well, here ya go:

1st President, George Washington on a cut from a Mountain Peak Lottery ticket. Pretty nice shape to be almost 250 years old. Grade is on the back of the flip and it graded an 8 The Mountain Road Lottery was a fund raising project conceived in 1767 by George Washington and others to finance the building of a road through the Allegheny Mountains in Virginia, and construct a resort in the Hot Springs and Warms Springs of Augusta County, which were reputed to have healing properties. Washington acted as manager of the lottery. 85% of the proceeds would be paid out in prizes; the remaining 15% would be kept for the Mountain Road project. Each lottery ticket cost £1. As there were other lotteries being run at the time, Washington’s lottery was not a success. In 1769, King George III banned all lotteries in the American colonies. The Mountain Road was built in 1772, however, when the Virginia legislature voted a sum of £300 pounds for the purpose of “clearing a safe and good road from the Warm Springs in Augusta County to Jennings Gap.”


$12,500


Here's a two for one. A beautiful document signed by both Thomas Jefferson AND James Madison. $7495 (plus shipping on this one due to size and bulk)





Fantastic check signed by James A. Garfield (not signed as President)

House of Representatives check, 8.25 x 3.25, filled out in another hand and signed by Garfield, “J. A. Garfield,” payable to F & G Rives for $224.82, July 2, 1877. Garfield has also handwritten, “Mentor O.,” and also added the date. Two vertical folds, one through a single letter of signature, a small cancellation cut to center, and a bank stamp to upper portion, otherwise fine condition. COA from Bob Eaton who is one of PSA/DNA's authenticators. $1250



Check signed by Civil War General and President, Ulysses S. Grant Check was signed as President

The body of the check is in a different hand, with the check itself being signed by Grant. COA from Bob Eaton who is one of PSA/DNA's authenticators.
$1425





A signed check from the 6th President of the United States, John Quincy Adams, not just signed once, but TWICE. You will occasionally see an Adams check pop up, but a dual signed one is incredible. $2995



a signed check of the 23rd President, Benjamin Harrison. $350 absolutely guaranteed to pass PSA/DNA and JSA.



Perhaps modern Presidents are your style instead. This is a JSA authenticated, John F. Kennedy autographed Profiles in Courage book. JFK signed Profiles are relatively popular with both signed book collectors and Presidential collectors so it has great crossover appeal. $2495





While we are on the subject of JFK, here's a JFK cut that I had another board member, Knuckles, dress up into this JFK custom cut card. It is also, now PSA/DNA authenticated. A little light, but hey, it's an affordable PSA/DNA JFK $1200



And another JFK laminated cut from a letter $850 cheap, cheap, cheap because of lamination, but about the cheapest authenticated one you will find



If you want a truly tough JFK signed piece, this one fits the bill. This is an authentically signed extradition warrant, with related papers, to bring a fugitive back to the United States. This one was done in April 1963, as President, in the last 8 months of his life, and contains a tough version of his full signature, John F. Kennedy. Already PSA/DNA authenticated as well. Every now and then for Kennedy as President, you can find typed letters signed, appointments signed, memos signed, a photo signed, a book signed, but I've never seen another one of these warrants signed by him. (doesn't mean they aren't out there, but I've looked at his stuff for years, and personally have not encountered one) Just a fantastic piece of Camelot. $7500

Signed Presidential baseballs are pretty coveted. No, Carter didn't forget how to spell his name, that's just the way he signs sometimes Absolutely guaranteed to pass PSA/DNA and JSA should you desire to do that. Jimmy Carter $250



Are the Royals your thing instead?

A Princess Diana and Prince Charles signed gift tag $1345



Inventor?

Thomas Alva Edison, truly a person that changed the world. Great postcard photo of him with a stunning younger image of the famed American inventor. $1750
