Albersheim?s Phone And Internet Auction At www.albersheims.com Begins On October 17, 2002 And Ends On November 7, 2002

GREAT NECK, NY -- (INTERNET WIRE) -- 10/24/2002 -- This landmark event features many exciting historical artifacts and rare one of a kind autographed items being offered for the very first time. Topping off the auction is a Joe Jackson signed and notarized document. Jackson of course is probably the most famous member of the 1919 White Sox World Series team. This team has become known throughout history as the Black Sox for their participation in throwing the Series. Shoeless Joe, as he was known was considered illiterate and less than 10 unquestionably authentic autographs of his have surfaced over the years. The rumor has it that for very important documents his wife, Katie would sign his name for Joe and then he would copy it onto the document. This is the holy grail for baseball historians, as Jackson is the best player not included in the Hall of Fame. He was banned for life by Major League Baseball for his part in the scandal.

In other sections of the auction one can find great letters from authors, Ernest Hemingway and Charles Dickens. Other items of note include the largest autographed George Patton portrait in the world, a very elusive John Coltrane signature, Babe Ruth autograph, Roger Maris signed photograph, a Thurman Munson autographed complete issue of the Sporting News, a Bobby Jones signed photo, a Lou Gehrig signed baseball, Presidential autographs of William Howard Taft, Ronald Reagan, Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding, and Harry Truman. You?ll also find an Otis Redding signed photo that was penned shortly before his tragic demise in a plane crash into Lake Monona (Madison, Wisconsin), a Bono handwritten letter (of U2) where he writes about fat Americans, a Marvin Gaye signed document, and a Bobby Darin signed photo. Ever wanted to be Middle Weight Champ of the United States? Albersheim?s has a USBA middleweight championship belt that once belonged to both Robert Allen and Brian Barbosa.

This auction brings together some of the finest and most eclectic historical items in the world.
