A Collection of Thirteen Philadelphia Phillies Autographed Photographs and Memorabilia This collection contains thirteen autographed items from various Philadelphia Phillies players and staff, primarily consisting of 8x10 color photographs. The signed items include: a Mike Schmidt 8x10 color promotional photograph for Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs signed in black marker; a Steve Carlton 8x10 color mound photograph signed in blue marker; a Robin Roberts 8x10 color photograph signed in purple marker with the inscription HOF 76; two Pat Gillick 8x10 color photographs commemorating his induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, each signed in black marker with the inscription HOF 2011; three Mitch Williams 8x10 color photographs signed in blue marker, including one with a Maines logo; a Darren Daulton 8x10 color photograph signed in blue marker with an MLB authentication hologram and a Photo File license mark; a Larry Bowa 8x10 color photograph signed in blue marker; a Jay Johnstone 8x10 color photograph signed in black marker with the inscription 21; a Marty Bystrom approximately 5x7 black and white photograph signed in black marker; and a Chase Utley approximately 5x7 color photograph card signed in black marker with the inscription 26. Provenance and authentication documents accompany the collection, including three Lifetime Certificates of Authenticity from Real McCoy 2 Collectibles for Larry Bowa, Jay Johnstone, and Marty Bystrom, all dated August 16, 2010. Also included are two autograph ticket stubs from the Ephrata Lions Club Sports Card Show and Auction for Darren Daulton (March 28, 2009) and Mitch Williams (March 25, 2006). Provenance / Authentication Note: This item originates from a single-owner collection assembled by a dedicated sports fan (with a strong focus on Notre Dame and New York Yankees memorabilia). The collector actively pursued autographs over many years through in-person events, including games, autograph shows, and visits to National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum during player events, as well as through direct mail requests to athletes and celebrities. The collection included supporting material such as handwritten correspondence sent to athletes (in some cases with payment enclosed), along with photographs of the collector with various signers. A portion of this same collection was featured in our March 21st auction, where multiple items were authenticated by James Spence Authentication (JSA). In regards to any items with signature(s): While this specific item(s) may not be individually submitted for third-party authentication, it originates from the same collection and shows consistency with previously authenticated pieces. As with many large autograph collections, there may be a small number of facsimile or clubhouse-style signatures present, but for the most part we have seen AUTHENTIC SIGNATURES within the collection. Based on the overall provenance and our review, we maintain a strong level of confidence in the authenticity of most items. Bidders are encouraged to review all photos carefully and bid according to their own level of comfort. No additional authentication documentation is included unless visible within the lot photos.
