Lot 252		Silent Screen Legend Harold Lloyd's Perfect Score Bowling Trophy, 1940. Millions know Harold Lloyd's career as one of the legendary stars of early cinema, but few may know just what an avid bowler he was carrying an average of around 195.

Lloyd used a specially drilled ball to accommodate a hand injury from a premature fireworks explosion during filming. His team the Llo-Da-Mar, bowling team competed nationally in the 1940s and proved quite formidable. Offered a trophy given to Harold Lloyd for bowling a perfect score of 300 at the Los Angeles Examiner bowling tournament in 1940. Trophy stands 9" tall, gilded pot-metal cast bowler bolted onto plastic with plate description. Estimated Value $250 - 400 View details and enlarged photo	Realized $213

His impact on sports and pop culture is virtually without peer (the late Muhammad Ali, possibly), representing for many an America of a simpler time. Ruth appears in biographies, histories, films, novels, and his name the Baby Ruth candy bar (Grover Cleveland's daughter notwithstanding). He was one of the original "Immortal Five" the first to be inducted in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Ruth played for the Boston Red Sox, the New York Yankees and the Boston Braves and remains one of the most popular subjects with regards to sports collecting today.

It is signed boldly and clearly by Ruth above his name. Cover has been archived beautifully and in excellent condition. Also included is a very appropriate pairing of a signed cover by one of the all time great sportswriters in history, Grantland Rice (180-1954) Rice, a brilliant journalist whose spellbinding reporting could make his subjects seem nothing short of heroic. He championed Babe Ruth for years and remarked that in the 1920s the only two other legends that approached Ruth in popularity was boxer Jack Dempsey and racehorse Man O War. His signature is on a special, first flight airmail cover, signed beautifully across body of cover. Some minor toning otherwise excellent.

Lot 266		Honus Wagner Signed Cover, 1928, Orignal Hall of Famer. Johannes Peter "Honus" Wagner (1874 - 1955) played 21 seasons of baseball, proved one of the greatest shortstops and batters in history, and playing almost entirely for the Pittsburg Pirates. Wagner served as a coach for the Pirates from 1933 - 1952 mostly as a hitting instructer. He is considered by many to be the greatest players in history and was one of the original "Immortal Five" inducted in the first Baseball Hall of Fame in 1936. His record and legacy lives on today, helped in no small measure by his baseball card issued by the American Tobacco Company (ATC) from 1909 to 1911 as part of its T206 series. Wagner refused to allow production of his baseball card to continue and now sell for hundreds of thousands if not millions. Offered here is a signed cover, a special issue commemorating the first airmail service between Atlanta and New Orleans, boldly signed by Wagner in 1928 and in his extraordinary hand, a style that calls back to a time when fine penmanship was highly regarded.

Lot 267		Ty Cobb Signed Cover, 1927, Original Hall of Famer. Tyrus Raymond Cobb (1886-1961) "The Georgia Peach" spent 22 seasons with the Detroit Tigers with his final six as a player-manager, followed by a year with the Philadelphia Athletics. He was one of the original "Immortal Five" originally inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1936 with the highest percentage of votes for almost 60 years. Cobb's batting records were nothing short of miraculous, his aggressive play legendary. He proved a very successful businessman after baseball, but he remained outspoken and opinionated true to his character. A lot has been written about his bouts of violence and possible racism, some of it true, so much has been proven outright fabrication. One thing is certain, he is considered as the best player of the dead-ball era, and generally seen as one of the greatest players of all time. Offered here is a signed commemorative cover celebrating the first airmail service in Cleveland, signed by Cobb boldly and almost dead center left of his name. Some toning, otherwise excellent. Estimated Value $800 - 1,200 View details and enlarged photo	Realized $938

Johnson is admired still today for his sportsmanship and friendly demeanor. Offered is a signed commemorative cover celebrating the inaugural air mail service in Buffalo.

Note: many of the signatures appear to be written in the same hand. But clearly Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby's is legitimate (very distinct "R") who the cover was originally addressed to.
