	Boxing Memorabilia: Rocky Marciano's 1953 "Sports Father of the Year" Award - Awarded to Rocky by the National Father's Day Committee, which was formed in 1926 and recognized by a Joint Resolution of Congress in 1956.  This dates the medal 3 years prior to the official holiday of Father's Day and less than 1 year after Rocky's historic September 23, 1952 fight with Jersey Joe Walcott. Beautiful high-relief obverse design featuring a bust of George Washington and a stars/stripes background.

	Boxing Memorabilia: 1938 Autographed Photo of Jack Dempsey - An outstanding ORIGINAL Vintage 1920's Studio Photograph measuring 8" x 10" that has been inscribed, signed/dated by the Manassas Mauler and Heavyweight Champion, Jack Dempsey. Exceptional signature in fountain pen grading a 9.5 out of 10 on an equally exceptional shot of Dempsey on this matt finish double-weight photograph. Photo taken/marked by Cosmopolitan Studios. Light staining to upper right corner, three light creases on right side of photo that do not affect the signature or central image, with old tape residue on reverse top/bottom of photo. JSA authenticated. < Photos >  Signature  /  JSA Letter	$550
	Boxing Memorabilia: Vintage Autographed Max Schmelling Postcard Authenticated by PSA/DNA - Great vintage photo by Bryant of Schmelling as the "Leading Heavyweight Contender", which dates this postcard to the1920s since Max was heavyweight champ from 1930-32.  Max's first fight with Joe Louis was a win, but Louis destroyed him in the rematch.  Hitler's propaganda also played into these fights which adds additional historical significance.  Beautiful, early fountain pen signature.  Postcard is near-mint (NR-MT) except for the lower left corner, which has a small section of the top photo layer folded over (probably done by PSA when inserting the postcard into the soft plastic holder since the displaced piece is still there). Great piece of boxing and political history. < Photos >  Reverse	$395
	Baseball: c1920s NY Yankees, Aaron Ward Game Used Bat -  Ward played for the Yankees from 1917-1928 and also played in the first three Yankee's World Series (1921, 1922 and 1923 - hit homers in two of them). Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig were both teammates and this era basically started the Yankee dynasty.  Ward ultimately lost his job to future Hall of Famer, Tony Lazzeri.  Bold markings with nice patina. Cracked (see photos) and repaired with vintage nails as certified by Mears. This is the only Ward bat ever handled by Mears. Don't miss a chance to own a piece of Yankees history at a fraction of the price of a Ruth or Gerhig game used bat!  < Photos > Label  Front  Top  Back  Bottom  End1  End2  Cert1  Cert2  Stats	SOLD
	Baseball: c1920s Official American League Baseball Autographed by Umpire E.T. (Red) Ormsby -  A rare American League Baseball in excellent mint condition.  Beautiful red and blue stitching with a light, even overall toning to the baseball.  Baseballs from this era are extremely had to find and almost impossible to come by in this condition.  Fountain pen signature on the sweet spot is light, but completely readable.  After a controversial call made against the White Sox, a female baseball fan yelled from the stands, "You blind bum! If you were my husband, I'd give you poison." Ormsby turned toward her, politely bowed, and  replied, "Madam, if you were my wife, I'd take it!"  A rare Reach made baseball in beautiful condition with some interesting history. < Photos >  Signature  Commissioner Panel	$1200
	Baseball: Official American League Baseball Autographed by "500" Home Run Hitters -  Eleven crisp blue ballpoint pen signatures include Ted Williams on the sweet spot with Aaron, Banks, Mantle, McCovey, Mays, Matthews, Robinson, Schmidt, Jackson, and Kilebrew.  Ball has a slight bit of toning/discoloration on one of the ball cover sections (McCovey, Kilebrew).  Official American League ball from when Bobby Brown was commissioner (1984-1994). Nice copy, but not right. < Photos >  All Panels	SOLD
	Baseball: Eddie Murray 500 Home Run Game Full Ticket, PSA Gem Mint 10 - Unused game ticket to Oriole Park at Camden Yards where the Hall-of-Famer (HOF) hit his historical 500th home run against the Detroit Tigers on September 6, 1996. This date is exactly one year after Cal Ripken's record breaking 2131 consecutive games played streak. This is one of three tickets currently certified Gem Mint 10 by PSA with an SMR value of $400 (total of 11 in any grade). Rare and hard to find 500 home run club ticket.   < Photo	$390
