Offered is a rare Nolan Ryan 16" x 20" autographed & inscribed color photo of Ryan delivering uppercuts to then rookie (he didn't know any better) Robin Ventura while holding him in a headlock. The Ryan Express playfully (who knew?!) inscribed the photo "Merry Christmas from Texas", and he is known to have inscribed only a handful in this manner. It has been professionally matted inside a 22" x 26" frame and the signature in blue sharpie rates a near perfect 10. The Reggie Jackson piece is a professionally matted 20" x 16" "Mr. October" lithograph celebrating his magical 3HR World Series game. It was signed by Reggie who added the rare inscription "Mr. October 1,2,3...", as well as the 3 hurlers he victimized during Game 6: Burt Hooten, Elias Sosa & Charlie Hough. All 4 signed in blue sharpie and rate a 9. The final item is a rare color triple exposure 16" x 20" of Mets great & future Hall of Famer Mike Piazza in action. It has been professionally matted inside a 22" x 26" frame, presented in Met blue & orange. Piazza is a very tough autograph on oversized photos. Mike signed in blue sharpie rating a near perfect 10. All 3 items in this lot are accompanied by a LOA from Jimmy Spence of PSA/DNA. Ryan & Piazza also offer Steiner COAs and Reggie offers an additional COA.
