Description
BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Pat Summitt Signed and Inscribed Photograph with JSA Certification A color photograph of Pat Summitt, the former head coach of the University of Tennessee Lady Volunteers basketball team. The portrait depicts Summitt in a professional setting with a basketball arena in the background, featuring the word Tennessee on the court floor. The photograph is inscribed in black permanent marker, To Aimee Best Wishes! Pat Summitt. The item is accompanied by a James Spence Authentication (JSA) Basic Certification card and a corresponding tamper-evident certification sticker located in the lower-right corner, both bearing the certification number CH61231. 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 has not been 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. 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.
