Also included are three large totes of casino-related items; a significant collection of Nascar, racing, and horse racing items, with dozens of drivers’ autographs; a massive collection of golf memorabilia—golf balls, scorecards, gloves, photos, and banners—from courses all over the world, many signed by PGA and LPGA players; one box of fishing memorabilia, including autographs of professional fishermen; and over 800 autographed CDs from musicians including Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Amy Winehouse, Kelly Clarkson, War, Toby Keith, 50 Cent, George Thorogood, Smokey Robinson, James Taylor, and many more.

Due to the enormity of this collection, please be advised that extra shipping charges will apply. The sheer overwhelming volume of items precludes a complete list, and interested parties are strongly advised to view the collection in person at our offices, as this collection is sold as is, and no returns will be accepted. Large collections such as this are seldom offered as a whole, and there are certainly still many discoveries that lie within. RR Auction COA.
