A splendid hodgepodge of over 500 pieces, this lot includes 175+ autographs of various athletes, politicians, writers, artists, entertainers and much more. Acquired by Jim Schendel, who accumulated such items since the 1950s, this batch is mostly composed of signed photos, letters, books and more. Schendel wrote to various figures at a young age due to an illness, and the people he wrote to loved contributing signatures to add to his collection. It is worth mentioning that each piece was a result of a handwritten letter by Schendel, and his persistence was clearly rewarded.
