So much for confidentiality. This amazing collection of contracts was signed for Morton Lowy and George Brace (who supplied the photographs) for the book "Baseball Confidential." Highlights include as they are all vintage signed (many rare signature variants): Ty Cobb, Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Henry Aaron, Lucius B. Appling, Ben Chapman, Earl B. Combs, James Ripper Collins, Yogi Berra, Joseph E. Cronin, Joe DiMaggio, Larry Doyle, Elmer H. Flick (2), Hank Greenberg and many more. A total of 60 pieces here with tremendous breakdown potential. The set comes with two copies of the book, one with a supreme inscription to Brace. (Lot contains: James Ripper Collins, Earle B.
