Lot # 2 1920s Stall and Dean Advertising Display Piece The greatest player of his generation turns up here in a spectacular advertising piece from the 1920s, a multicolor, sturdy cardboard

Leading Off countertop display that is among the rarest of the period. In a die-cut piece measuring 153/4 inches in height and 10 inches wide, a leaping Cobb is shown catching a line drive in an iconic fi elding pose that will be instantly recognizable to serious students of the game. Cobb’s leap is set against a backdrop of an enormous ball and glove bearing the Stall and Dean company name. The “Ty Cobb Gloves” type surrounds a facsimile Cobb signature on the glove, which in turn is set off by a brown checkerboard background. This highly coveted piece probably hits the auction block once or twice a decade; a specimen only slightly superior in terms of surface wear and presentation approached $20,000 at the famed Barry Halper Collection Auction at Sotheby’s in September of 1999. The presented piece is in excellent condition, only for the surface wear in the lower-left corner and some fading running about four inches up in the same location. The easel back is intact and complete. MIN BID $4,000

Lot # 3 Jack Johnson Signed Sepia Photograph - Beautiful Autograph One of the most dominant boxers of all time, Johnson held the title from 1908-1915 and remains one of boxing’s most sought-after signatures. This sepia-toned photo is inscribed “Best Wishes - To My Best Friend Harry E. Ringsly - From Jack Johnson” on the lower border. The signature, written in black ink with a steel tip pen, is dark and bold, with a 9-10 strength. The “Gus Wilsons Training Camp” stamp on the right side most likely dates the photo to 1911, which is when he married Lucille Cameron and drew the ire of Southern ministers. The photo has undergone some professional restoration and displays in EX condition with small fi ssures and creases confi ned mainly to the periphery, as well as sections of paper loss on the reverse. The signature is authenticated by JSA. MIN BID $4,000

Lot # 4 Leading Off 1939-40 H&B Side-Written and Vault-Marked Game-Used Bat Presented is an impeccable example of baseball history and an item that belongs in the uppermost echelon of baseball collectibles based upon value, condition and rarity. This 38-inch, 35-ounce signature model (predating model numbers) was used by Al Simmons during the late 1930s, then later returned by him to the H&B factory, a fact clearly indicated by the side-written notations which still clearly read “35 oz. Al Simmons 5-1-40 Phila. Amer.” The vault mark “S28” is stamped on both the knob and the end of the barrel. Also written on the reverse are numerous factory notations regarding the bat’s specifi cations and measurements. If you were teaching a class on game-used bats, this would be the perfect exemplar. The bat is composed of top-quality white ash, is uncracked and displays deep and pronounced manufacturer’s stamping throughout. It also displays heavy game use in the form of ball and stitch marks, cleat marks and grain checking along the reverse of the barrel that has been tamped down by 13 tiny “bat boy” nails. Side-written bats are among the most desirable of all collectibles of any game-used item since they are essentially a letter of authenticity from the player himself. Simmons was one of the key stars of ’s A’s teams from 1924-1932 and retired in 1944 with 2,927 hits and a lifetime batting average of .334. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1953. MEARS graded this bat a A9.5 and noted “incredible factory-documented bat with only the small nails keeping it from a perfect A10” while PSA/DNA’s John Taube simply states “It is the fi nest Al Simmons game-used bat I’ve had the pleasure of authenticating.” MIN BID $10,000

Lot # 5 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team-Signed Flag, including Herb Brooks “Do you believe in Miracles? Yes!” When the U.S. Olympic Hockey team defeated the Soviet Union 4-3, it marked one of the most signifi cant sporting events in history. It was voted the greatest sports moment of the 20th century by . The memories of fans waving U.S. fl ags and singing patriotic songs such as “God Bless America” are forever etched in most of our minds, as is ’ dramatic countdown. The U.S. would go on to defeat Finland, 4-2, and capture the Gold Medal and bring immense national pride during the Cold War. This full-size, framed U.S. fl ag is signed by the entire team, which is extremely rare since virtually all of them have long ago ceased signing the fl ag due to its iconic status. The most important signature is head Herb Brooks, who died in a car crash in 2003. Some of the other highlights include goalie Jim Craig, the three players who scored goals (Buzz Schneider, Mark Johnson (twice) and Mike Eruzione) and fi ve players who would go on to 500+ career NHL games (Neal Broten, Ken Morrow, Mike Ramsey, Dave Christian and Johnson). This is truly a sight to see and even had James Spence itching to bid on it as he authenticated every clear, bold signature. This is truly a one-of-a-kind piece that you may never see surface again, and a true piece of history. MIN BID $1,000

Lot # 7 Babe Ruth Headin’ Home Advertising Cards Complete Set - One of a Kind A rare four-card set of advertising cards for the 1920 fi lm “Headin’ Home” starring Babe Ruth. Memorabilia from this fi lm is extremely rare and these were originally discovered tucked in a press book for the 1920 movie. The press book was distributed to movie theater owners, and detailed the various promotional support available to theaters including providing illustrations of posters and lobby cards. The press book and cards can be traced back to the Perez-Steele family, while the accompanying movie press book was sold to Barry Halper. Not only is this the only set known (not even a single additional card has ever been seen) but the very substantial Headin’ Home press book which once accompanied the set (in which the cards were originally found) is, to the best of our knowledge, the only example known. The cards are 4-1/2-by-5-1/2 inches and each is graded by Beckett Grading Services. The cards show Ruth, his bat, hands and feet separately on each of four cards: “Here He Is!! ‘Babe’ Ruth” (Ruth profi le, NM-MT 8); “School Boys Idolize the Owner of These and You Know Him!!!” hands, Ex 5); Millions Have Seen Him on the Field...” (feet, Ex-Mt 6); and “An Entire Nation Loves the Colossus...” (bat, Near Mint+ 7.5).

Lot # 24 Original Artwork by Charles De Simone signed by Banks The Hall of Famer would typically proclaim a desire to play two games, but he’d have to be content with a more singular concept with this one-of-kind artwork by the acclaimed Charles De Simone. Offered here is one of three pieces of De Simone’s 20th-Century Art Collection which are included in this auction. His epic series now numbers more than 100, all of them

Leading Off unique, all of them breathtaking in the loving genufl ection to the game of baseball in general and the featured players in particular.

For serious collectors of De Simone’s work, the placement of the baseballs carries enormous signifi cance. The signed baseball always appears at precisely the same spot on every canvas, a nuanced addition that helps to unify and accentuate the amazing collection; the other baseballs are always strategically placed as graphic devices that add balance or even needed tension to superbly designed arrangements. The Banks piece is nicely showcased in a gold leaf frame; the artist’s signature appears in the upper left-hand corner. De Simone has selected Collect.com Auctions to be the exclusive source in the auction community for his original work. MIN BID $1,200

Lot # 25 Original Artwork by Charles De Simone signed by Musial Presented here is an opportunity to own a piece of arguably the most unique and signifi cant art collection in the hobby. His originals featuring everybody from Joe DiMaggio and to and Cal Ripken have sold at many of the major auctions for thousands of dollars, a tribute to a super realistic skill and uncompromising talent. Charles De Simone’s 20th-Century Art Collection marks the continuation of a two-decade odyssey by the acclaimed New York artist that has produced more than 100 one-of-a-kind pieces that celebrate the game of baseball and many of its most famous practitioners. We say “many,” rather than all, because of one of many unique aspects to his series: all of the paintings are signed by the players portrayed, always on a single-signed baseball on the canvas that, like everything else, looks so real that you want to reach out and pick it up. The New York-based artist launched his Homeric venture more than 20 years ago, intuitively understanding the role that baseball memorabilia, equipment, cards and ephemera could play in telling the story of a game that boasts a history unrivaled in professional sports. In the case of the 16-by-20-inch Musial, a home jersey provides much of the backdrop, along with De Simone’s realistic grass, in a grouping that includes a Musial model Louisville Slugger that neatly divides several postcards, a newspaper clipping and even his 1948 Bowman rookie card. The reactions of viewers is quite understandably that it appears these items have been photographed in a collage setting; only close inspection reveals that this is artwork so vivid and captivating that the line between the real and the created has been obliterated. De Simone’s patented single-signed baseball near the center of the painting features Stan’s perfect signature. A remarkable piece honoring the National League’s marquee player in the years immediately following World War II.
