Enormous collection featuring Boston’s greatest champions—Russell, Orr, Brady, and Ortiz

Fantastic collection of 53 items related to Boston sports, including signed baseballs and basketballs, nicely matted and framed signed photos, and four game-used pieces. The highlight of the collection is a massive 32 x 50 display honoring 'Champions of New England,' featuring limited edition photos of Tom Brady, David Ortiz, Bill Russell, and Bobby Orr, numbered 56/250, each signed by the player pictured. Reverse bears COAs from the companies that represent each athlete: Tri-Star for Brady, Upper Deck for Ortiz, Rich Altman for Russell, and Great North Road for Orr. The collection also contains 14 framed oversized photos, signed by Ted Williams, Clay Buchholz (2), Dave Henderson, Jim Lonborg (2), Jim Rice (2), Milan Lucic, Paul Pierce (2), and Rajon Rondo (3). Also included are 18 framed 8 x 10 photos, signed by John Lackey, John Lester, Dave Roberts, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Milan Lucic (5), Robert Parish, and Paul Pierce (8). There are also nine baseballs, signed by Bill Buckner and Mookie Wilson (2), Bernie Carbo (2), Jim Lonborg (3), Fred Lynn, and Jim Rice; and seven basketballs, signed by Paul Pierce (5) and Rajon Rondo (2). Unsigned items include a game-used first base from a 2009 Red Sox home game against Toronto; and three game-used baseballs from a 2009 home game against Tampa Bay. In overall fine condition, with signatures on the large display a bit faded. All baseballs and baseball photos, as well as the four game-used items, bear official MLB or Steiner authentication labels. A fabulous instant collection of Boston legends from four of the oldest and most storied franchises in sports. RR Auction COA.
