Single Owner, private Autograph collection

Our January auction includes the first section of a significant collection of autographs from a single-owner deceased collector.  These were amassed over 50+ years of collecting, with many signatures gained in person from boyhood days at sports venues, theatres & other locations and continuing through to later years with auction purchases and exchanges of correspondence. Many are dedicated to him.

 As a member of the MCC there is also a strong cricket offering and again many were collected in person. A truly diverse collection covering all subjects including Royalty, Entertainment, Sport, Politicians, Military & much more.

The collection will be offered over a number of sales.
