The second item is a novelty Coors Light bottle shaped like an American football, featuring a dimpled texture and printed white graphics representing laces. The third item is a Coors Original Banquet Beer Limited Edition bottle shaped like a baseball bat, finished in high-gloss black with gold-toned handle bands and an A. Coors signature, with a stated capacity of 1 pint 2 fl. oz. The lot includes an original corporate mailing envelope from the Coors Brewing Company addressed to a recipient in Kingston, Pennsylvania, bearing a printed date of September 11, 2001.

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.
