BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! A Collection of Eight Signed LPGA Photographs and One Promotional Card Featuring Nancy Lopez, Paula Creamer, and Others
This lot consists of an assortment of eight color glossy photographs and one promotional card, all hand-signed by prominent female professional golfers. The collection features two 8 by 10 inch promotional photographs from the IMG sports agency signed by Hall of Famer Nancy Lopez in black marker. Also included is one 8 by 10 inch IMG promotional photograph signed by Nancy Scranton. Paula Creamer is represented by two items: one color photograph signed in silver/gold-tone marker and one smaller promotional photograph signed in black ink. The lot includes an 8 by 10 inch photograph signed by Natalie Gulbis and an 8 by 10 inch IMG promotional photograph of Janice Moodie holding a trophy, inscribed Swing Smooth. Completing the set is a DSW Shoe Warehouse promotional card signed by Marisa Baena. The items are printed on glossy photograph paper and cardstock. Several pieces include printed IMG corporate branding and contact information from their Cleveland, Ohio office. No third-party certificates of authenticity or authentication labels are present.
Photographs: 8 x 10 inches and 5 x 7 inches.
Provenance / Authentication Note: This item originates from a single-owner collection assembled by a dedicated sports fan (with a strong focus on Notre Dame and New York Yankees memorabilia). The collector actively pursued autographs over many years through in-person events, including games, autograph shows, and visits to National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum during player events, as well as through direct mail requests to athletes and celebrities. The collection included supporting material such as handwritten correspondence sent to athletes (in some cases with payment enclosed), along with photographs of the collector with various signers. A portion of this same collection was featured in our March 21st auction, where multiple items were authenticated by James Spence Authentication (JSA). In regards to any items with signature(s): While this specific item(s) may not be individually submitted for third-party authentication, it originates from the same collection and shows consistency with previously authenticated pieces. As with many large autograph collections, there may be a small number of facsimile or clubhouse-style signatures present, but for the most part we have seen AUTHENTIC SIGNATURES within the collection. Based on the overall provenance and our review, we maintain a strong level of confidence in the authenticity of most items. Bidders are encouraged to review all photos carefully and bid according to their own level of comfort. No additional authentication documentation is included unless visible within the lot photos. Please reach out with any questions.
Condition report:
The items are in good overall condition. Visible minor edge wear and light corner dings are present on several of the larger photographs, most notably at the upper left corner of the Natalie Gulbis photograph.
