Description

STAR STRUCK: Collection of 10,000 in-person signatures from the 1950s through the 1990s

Huge and meticulous in-person collection of approximately 10,000 signatures, acquired in New York and California from the 1950s through the 1990s. The signatures are mainly on 5 x 3 cards, with the addition of album pages and slips, and are signed in fountain pen, ballpoint, and felt tip, most signers inscribing to Emily; several signers are represented multiple times. This vast collection includes Oscar winners, stage and screen stars, musical legends, authors, Broadway cast and crew members, athletes, political figures, and early signatures of up-and-comers who went on to great prominence in the entertainment field. The overwhelming volume precludes a complete list; however, a representative cross-section of approximately 600 names is available online at this link. Prospective bidders are cordially invited to examine the collection by appointment at our offices in Amherst, New Hampshire. Along with the hundreds of well-known celebrities we've listed, there are many times that number of obscure, undoubtedly scarce, and unidentified names waiting to be discovered by a patient, savvy collector! Apart from the occasional minor, typical flaw, the items are in fine, clean condition overall—just the way you like to find them! A true treasure trove for the enterprising collector! RRAuction COA.
