elcome to our September Space & Autographs Public Auction. This sale will be held live on the internet beginning at 11am (Central Time) on Wednesday, September 30th. As always, we’re proud of the diverse and high-quality material represented here. And, while we do have some incredibly rare items, we also feature many unusual and affordable collectibles with great appeal. We’ve noticed that – since 2011, the 50th anniversary of man’s first space flight – the values of many space-related collectibles have begun to climb. Similarly, when Neil Armstrong died in 2012, the values of his autographs and collectibles began to rise as well. We fully anticipate this trend to continue as more “space firsts” (both manned and unmanned) reach their 50th anniversaries, leading up to July 20, 2019, the 50th anniversary of “One Small Step…” You’ll find a large group of space and aviation-related collectibles in this sale (more than 500 lots!). Among the standouts are 2 pieces of equipment, gyroscopes of the type used for the 1958 Juno I Redstone Jupiter Missile (Lot 52), and the other for 1961 Redstone missile (Lot 53), estimated at $7,000 each. If autographs are more your cup of tea, however, we have a few of those that will make your day. The standout here is Lot 103, a 1963-dated bit of Morehead Planetarium stationery (where virtually all astronauts trained) with 8 astronauts’ signatures, including Armstrong, Grissom, See and others – an item with unquestionable provenance to be sure! It is estimated at $5,000-$7,000. Lot 127, a Type II Apollo 11 “Insurance Cover” signed by the entire crew, is one of the most sought-after autographed items in space collectibles. This one is estimated at $4,000. From the Shuttle program comes Lot 342, an STS-107 (the ill-fated “Columbia” flight) crew-signed item we’ve never seen, where the crew is posing with (presumably NASA) office staff in what appears to be a break room. That item is conservatively estimated at $3,000. Other interesting space includes a nice section of scarce Rocket Mail covers (Lots 35-51), complete “Mercury 7” group of autographs on a 1962 Project Mercury first-day cover (Lot 60) and more Apollo 12-related items than you can shake a stick at (close to 70!). In collectibles, you’ll find everything from a great John Hancock signature as governor (Lot 676, $4,000-$6,000), to an original Charles Russell watercolor sketch (Lot 525, $2,000-$3,000) and even a Walt Disney-signed animation cell proof (Lot 540, $4,000-$6,000). Or maybe you’d like a collection with some colonial-era bookplates (Lot 660, $1,000-$1,500), including Alexander Hamilton and John Quincy Adams. There’s also a pair of 1961 U.S. first-day covers that just happen to be signed by China’s President and Madame Chiang Kai-Shek (Lot 824, $2,000-$3,000) and, of course, a myriad of other diverse and interesting collectibles and autographs, culminating with our Sports section, which includes a photograph signed by Babe Ruth less than 3 months before his death (Lot 879, $3,000$5,000). One other item of specific note is an essentially intact young boy’s autograph collection of the 1850s (Lot 658), with autographs and letters from Jefferson Davis, James Buchanan, Daniel Webster, Washington Irving, Salmon P. Chase and many other notables of the day. That one-of-a-kind item with great editorial content is estimated at $7,000-$9,000. Viewing and live bidding are available 24/7 at www.RegencySuperior.com or in person at our St. Louis office Monday through Saturday (10am to 5pm) until the day of sale.

Bidding Guidelines for Sports & Autographs coin CatALOGs
Estimates In addition to the catalog value, 'estimates' are listed for each lot. You will find the estimates more reflective of the current market, and what you can reasonably expect to pay for a lot. You may, of course, bid higher or lower than the estimates. You may also speak with a lot describer for a more detailed description of a particular lot. Please call at least 72 hours prior to the sale (the earlier, the better). Remember, a Public Auction is not an approval service, lots are not returnable unless misdescribed.
Limits You may limit your total purchases by simply indicating the amount on your bidding form. This way, for example, you can bid on $5,000 worth of lots, but limit your purchases to $1,000. Remember that all lots are sold in lot number order. Bids on specially desired lots over and beyond your limit may be added to your purchase if you indicate they are to be excluded from your limit.
'OR' Bids You may bid on several similar lots with the assurance that you will purchase only one of them. Simply place an 'OR' between the bids submitted on the lots involved, and we will buy the first 'OR' lot for you, and void the rest. Remember that all lots are sold in lot number order, so you may not indicate a preference for one lot over another.

LZ-4’s destruction may have been a blessing in disguise for Count Zeppelin, as donations from the public within 24 hours were enough to rebuild airship. Eventually, 6 million marks were donated; enough to keep the Zeppelin program alive and well.

Taney, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Salmon P. Chase, George Brancroft, Charles Francis Adams, Jared Sparks and many others.

One references an enclosed snip of George Washington’s writing (which has since been lost). Free-franked covers are intact. Collector removed stamps from others many years ago. Bonus items include ‘Nathan Hale’ cut signature (doesn’t match known signatures, so is likely an early example of non-malicious fake to fulfill request for historical figure), and Very old printed (not signed) Thomas Jefferson letter and envelope.

Outstandingly significant folded letter, dated March 15, 1827, to Gen. Jones (presumably Roger) of Washington, DC, handwritten by Gen Henry Atkinson, announcing that as of March 12, Jefferson Barracks was officially established, and that he had assumed command. 'Every exertion will be made to forward the progress of the public buildings here...' In 1826, Atkinson, explorer William Clark and others had selected the site, but it was not officially designated until 1827. Atkinson is most wellknown for establishment of Fort Atkinson in 1819 and for commanding forces during the Blackhawk War. Letter bears March 15, 1827, St. Louis postmark (territorial type, without 'T') and, as a side note, paper bears stitch watermark. Aging and soiling, with some water damage, but RARE and and extremely historical content as it relates to early St. Louis. ExElizabeth Nettles.

Ross served as Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation from 1828-66, during some of the nation’s most turbulent times, including the infamous ‘Trail of Tears’ forced removal of the nation from North Carolina to Oklahoma.

Interesting 4-page folded document (8"x12½") on paper with large Britannia watermark. Document covers King's Bench complaint, lists 48 jurors and contains interesting Feb 23, 1804, letter from an individual involved with the case to his uncle, discussing strategy. The jurisdiction of the Court of King's Bench was originally confined to pleas of the Crown, and later extended to actions where violence was used in actions of trespass, by force, as is the case with this complaint. Interesting reading and much potential for further research and discovery. Fine.
